Hi Pbabblers,
Always around, but have not posted much for a long time. I am an RN and just started 12 hour nights after 20 some years on days. I love working nights, it seems to be a good fit, however, I am having trouble sleeping during the day. I have been on Effexor 225 mg. for over five years along with clonazepam 1 mg. at bedtime.
The clonazepam was originally prescribed to get me over noctural panic attacks brought on by Effexor. I believe I am dependent on clonazepam after skipping one dose and having a horrible panicky, skin crawling, really horrible experience which was relieved within 30 minutes of taking a dose. What can I take that can help me sleep? Any suggestions at all from anyone who works nights? I really want this to work out for me. Thanks so much! :) Laurie
