Hi Kate,

A word of caution on what they may be prescribing to help you sleep. I have a close friend who went through hell when she tried to stop taking the meds. Almost two years later and she still has withdrawal symptoms. She didn't work for one full year. If it is a benzodiazepine you may want to do some research.

There are several sites on the web that have information. Also note, the drug you are being given may be a benzo under a different trade name. Hope you are well soon.
