Hello all. I could use some help. After being on Clonazepam for several years (most recently at 1 mg. at night for sleep & anxiety) my doc wants me off. He insists I taper in one month and I'm down to .25 mg. I've been using Benadryl and sometimes Tylenol PM. Went up to .50 one night, but will run out of meds quickly if that rate is continued.
Now I have terrible rebound insomnia. I've recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease (autoimmune hypothyroid) and I'm on meds and I'm a little better, but long road ahead.
This doc insists that I do this in a month so going back to him is not an option.
Please - any ideas out there? I could really use some help. Having trouble keeping up with a heavy workload due to little sleep and stress.
Thanks so much.
WBH
