What to do about insomnia

[[Ne...]]

I have been taking Xanax for about ten years as well as Ambien since 1998.  I started tapering the X in september and switching over to V.  I am now down to 4mg V and 10mg V.  Complicating things is that I have 3 alcoholic drinks per night to wind down.  Now I am experiencing severe insomnia.  I have decreased my alcohol use because I know the mix is not good.  When I sleep well, I feel good.  Any advice?

Know that alcohol works on GABA receptors just like Benzos and Ambien.  I'd read this post as it should answer most of your questions.
