Hi @[do...],

After I quit benzos the first time, I developed insomnia along with many other symptoms.  I was put on another one about 6 months later.  It worked for 3 whole weeks.  Then it stopped and I was back where I started.  I was put back on the original one about 2 months after that and it also helped for about 2 weeks then it stopped.  I didn't know it was the problem, so I stayed on it for another 13 years and dealt with insomnia the entire time.  I'm still dealing with it.  

Now, granted I didn't meet the definition of "protracted" at only 6 months off and then 2 months, but I think the fact that it worked a bit and then quit, and then made it worse for 13 years say a lot.  

How long have you been off?
