Yeah, I hear ya. I'm in the same boat as you. I know I need something, but I'm terrified of them all for the same reasons you are. Each day is very hard. Something has to be done.
It sounds too simple, but have you tried benadryl for sleep? I find it as effective as the sleep meds but it is friendlier to me. No rebound daytime anxiety from it. The sleep meds like lunesta and ambien just caused all kinds of daytime problems for me.
Not sure what your experience with the benzos is. Xanax or diazepam could calm things fast.
I guess you aren't sure where to go from here. As far as myself, I'm not sure where to go from here either. I just wanted you to know you aren't alone.
