Scott,
Thanks so much for your two cents! I will be discussing your suggestions with my pdoc next Thursday. Do you know if Benzos in general interfere with our natural stages of sleep (I am no expert here) like REM (rapid eye movement) which I understand is necessary for "good" quality sleep and therefore waking up feeling rested? I wake up like a zombie, stumble through making my morning espresso (latte in fact) and am late for work almost every morning because I can't get my -ss in gear. Some cognitive dulling which is relieved by liberal doses of caffiene. I don't remember when I have been able to tolerate this much caffiene without getting anxious or jittery! Thanks, Anne
