> Jay advise why am I so tired cutting down on benzos would think it would be the opposite sorry really not hyjacking as on luvox and it doesn't sedate me just does nothing. Phillipa ps up early?
One would think, but it could just be fatigue from trapped anxiety bogging you down. And you have been on benzodiazepines for quite a while so your receptors may have to adjust to life without a constant state of them. I don't think you're the only one who has reported that happening, but of course everyone is different.
I am having idosyncratic issues with Valium reduction, but its more complicated and could be related to the disorder itself which is concerning enough.
And as for the up early part -- are you getting a regular sleep cycle, going to bed at the same time more or less every day, staying away from stimulating things (like PB) for a bit before bedtime, and staying awake in the morning hours even if you are a bit tired when you arise naturally, in other words good sleep hygiene that will bring about a better sleep cycle.That may be another clue to fatigue.
