I have this going on too. I had to stop antidepressants and an anxiolytic (fancy word for a benzo.) I was on Klonopin for a few years. I was basically at 1mg or .5 mg each night for sleep.
I recently tapered off--going from .75 to .5 to .375 to .25 to .125 over the past 5 weeks. It has sucked.
I am now 4 days off the klonopin completely and 3 weeks of the SSRIs/SSNRIs. I had trazodone but this also was making me feel weird.
I hope I will sleep soon too. I lay awake holding "As Bill Sees It" and then in the morning I have panic attacks and want to stay in bed (go figure). I resisted a fake napping day to try to let my body accumulate fatigue. I know to lay still and relax (as best as one can) and then trudge through my day.
I had one teabag of earl grey this morning.
I just want this to go back to normal.
Peace.
