Popping in to say hello! All is good in the land of gina_re! I am no longer taking the Restoril to sleep. I initially asked for a reduction in the dosage, but before my pdoc could respond I just stopped taking it. No side effects, well the first night I didn't sleep much, but it's been fine lately. So instead of being knocked out to sleep, I gradually fall asleep and it is somewhat easier to wake up in the morning. I'll fill the lower dosage and keep it for prn. Still tired in the mornings, but not that hungover drugged feeling anymore. I'm sure it will take some time to adjust since I had been on that stuff for almost two years.
Saw my T yesterday and because of the progress we made, he said I could come back in two months instead of two weeks. Or if anything happens in the mean time I can come in sooner.

Have a great weekend!
