In the past I have quit 10 mg Z cold turkey after taking it for months on end. I did this by switching to 100 mg doxepin which helped me avoid the killer rebound insomnia. Getting off doxepin was no easy task either...seven days with absolutely no sleep and anxiety beyond belief. I finally switched to Remeron and then managed to wean off that. However, after several months of really bad panic and anxiety, I'm back on 5 mg Z along with 1 mg clonazepam. Yes, I'm calmer and I'm sleeping again, but I hate the constipation, lethargy and impotence. God how I wish I had never started meds!
