JPA, I think you hit the nail on the head when you said "sleep anxiety". How are you going to overcome that? That is your big challenge. If Remeron helps you get through the night, why not take slivers of the med as you practise relaxation? It's still a hard med to discontinue for some, but you have to go through a period of really crap sleep before your natural sleep architecture re-establishes itself. That means getting off all meds and relying only on supplements and relaxation techniques. You are right, after many years on sleep meds you have become psychologically as well as physically addicted. Things will improve, but I know it's hard to feel sh*tty as you work towards your goal.
