Profound Insomnia
Posted , 2 users are following.
My insomnia began with physical addiction to Xanax, and a horrible doctor did NOT taper me off of Xanax.
I had horrible seizures and then beyond hell insomnia. He then prescribed very, very, very toxic
neuroleptics. I became a total zombie on a very poisonous neuroleptic !!! I developed TARDIVE DYSKINESIA !!!! ( a terrible neurological, permanent brain impairment ) This was 26 years ago !!
I was then prescribed Klonopin which helped me sleep some, but is EXTREMELY physically addicting.
I tried repeatedly to safely ween off of Klonopin, but could not, because of bad insomnia. I was in
the "psychiatric trap." Today, as of the start of 2020, i STILL have horrendous insomnia. Sleep maybe
3-4 hours per night. .. This all started due to Xanax for high anxiety... I would have been MUCH better,
if i had never taken even one Xanax. If you have panic or anxiety, please do not take pills. Go to
a talking therapist, and then exercise, eat right, and maybe go to a Natureopathic Doctor.
