Over one month off temzaepam and looking for advice


Recommended Posts

So a brief summary about my situation. Last summer I started taking Z-Quil pretty much everyday for about three months then one day it stopped working. I didn't know that it was a bad thing to take considering it was just an OTC sleep aid. I went days without sleep and went to the Drs where they prescribed me hydroxyzine and doxepin for sleep that didnt work. After 5 days of no sleep I was prescribed Ambien and Lorazepam. I took those for about 4 days and was then put on seroquel and got off of it after about two weeks. I was put on trazadone, mirtazapine that didnt seem to work. I also just hated how I felt being on them. I was eventually prescribed 22.5 mgs temazepam and 600 mgs of gabapentin along with 10 mg dayvigo. That seemed to do the trick  I was averaging at least 5 hours of sleep at night. I started working with a naturpathic Dr that helped me get off of the temazepam in about a 3.5 week taper and started tapering gabapentin about a week after off of temazepam. I currently am taking 10mg Dayvigo and 50-75mg of hydroxyzine for sleep. I have been on hydroxyzine for three weeks now and I feel stuck on the taper process. I feel like I wont sleep at all if I go down below 50 mgs and I am also scared that I am putting my recovery back. Should I just C/T Dayvigo and hydroxyzine would this be the best way to get back to sleeping naturally or would that also put me back. I am so scared to go without sleep for a week or more and I am already so fatiqued and I am scared I wont be mentally strong enough to weather through this storm. Any advice on the way forward for me would be greatly appreciated. I am also taking natural supplements to help with sleep. I get so tired at night but i never transition to sleep. i just want my life back and im trying to fiqure out the best way to get back there. Again any advice is greatly appreciated.
