Hi,
I am new to the board and look forward to meeting others to get support and give support. I am in the process of tapering off of long-term benzo use
(stable dose) because I feel I am oversedated in the mornings. Since I have been on benzos (since 2000) I have not had any appreciable REM sleep as diagnosed on 4 sleep studies and very well might be exacerbating my severe obstructive sleep apnea. My next goal is to get off Prestiq, followed by Adderral. This will be a work in progress. I have been diagnosed as Bipolar I and have been hospitalized 5 times within 18 months. I am currently stable on Lithium. Looking forward to getting to know you.
