Are you sure you need a sedative or do you need an antidepressant?
I took Valium for years only to find out that what I needed was an antidepressant. The good thing about antidepressants is that they are not addictive.
I was able to get off Valium by taking Lithium. It is wise to stop drinking alcohol at the same time.

> While I was on paxil, I was abusing two drugs: ephedrine and Sudafed. They made me hyper and eventually I could not sleep. After four days my parents sent me to the doctor and he gave me risperdal. He said it was schizophrenia. But the symptoms I had were from the drugs I was using. When I study schizophrenia I find that I don't have hallucinations or anything like that. However I can't seem to get off risperdal. When I try to get off, I get anxious and I feel like I am out of control.
