3 weeks no sleep

[[Fa...]]

HI Just wondering if anyone can help?  I have been weaning off clonazepam for 4 years down to .25mg and I think I am in what they call tolerance.  Trazedone didn't work. I am super sensitive and have tachycardia so wondering if anyone knows of anything safe to take with sensitive heart. I cant digest food and maybe 20 mins sleep here and there.  I even tried xanaz with clonazepam last night and still didn't fall asleep.  I have taken melatonin 4 years along with cl but nothing seems to help right now.  I do meditate, breathe yoga and I am very frightened now. 

Thank you

Is that correct?

Have you tried Trazadone or Mirtrazipine in low doses?  That might help.  It didn't work for me though.

Faith1,

It sounds like you are doing all of the right things. You just need to accept and tolerate your situation as best as you can until time heals you. It is not easy and can in fact be pretty frightening, but you will get the minimum amount of sleep needed to keep going so your insomnia will NOT kill you. We all went through it, or are going through it. Some have an easier time, but no one has an easy time. It is just the reality that we must face for awhile. Enjoy and be thankful for any little victory that comes your way while always trying not to get too down about the harder times.
