Benzodiazepine addicted

[Sinbad]

CBD drops will help you sleep but are no substitute unfortunately.

Indeed. He'll just be addicted to whatever chemical he currently takes to sleep.

Go to bed tired and forget the "you must sleep 8 hours" nonsense.

Then you won't need the drugs.

To be honest with you guys, I don't see how a psychiatrist can help me because I'm not mental or anything it's just that I have a sleeping issue mainly because I'm too addictive to the tranquil effect to the tab I was taking.. I have no anxiety, depression nothing.

You're an addict and dependent though. You can't function properly (sleep) if you don't take your chosen poison. No different to the guy that can't get going in the morning if he doesn't drink a couple of beers.

You need to find out why you can't fall asleep and why you need something to help you sleep, there may be some underlying issues. Rather be safe.

You're asking the internet for advice on how to deal with an problem you are experiencing specifically related to precisely the sort of issues psychiatrists are specialised in dealing with. It seems obvious why it would make sense to speak to one about this.

You don't have to be a raving schizophrenic to qualify.

Wouldn't an org like sanca be able to direct to a community rehab centre or something similar?

Again... take a week off work and deal with the insomnia for a few days. How long do benzo withdrawals usually last? I don't understand how insomnia is your issue here - it's part of the withdrawal process of being addicted to a drug. Go through it and get it over with and stay clean; stop using it as a reason to stall. Withdrawals are ****ing uncomfortable, get it over with already.

BUMP. How did this turn out? What did you use, or are you still on Benzo's?
