Hi Maxime. Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me a little more about how you feel when you wake up? Do you still get only 4 hours sleep, even on Klonopin? Do you sleep straight through, or do you wake up one or more times? Does the Klonopin cause problems for you, such as confusion, memory-impairment, etc.?
As for the Ambien, have you used it? If so, what was that like for you? And what about Ativan? Why is that used for sleep? Is it considered a "hypnotic" while the others are just for relieving anxiety while awake? Many years ago, I took an old benzodiazapine hypnotic known as "Dalmane." It did help me sleep, I suppose, but I think I was a space cadet the entire time I was on it. I had severe memory impairment from the Dalmane, and no matter how long I took it, my mouth always tasted like the drug.
I'm sorry for bombarding you with so many questions. I'm having a tough time, and if I could sleep well, I'd still be having a tough time, but I'd be better able to cope with the stress.
