It turns out this medication isn't even supposed to be taken for more than 4 weeks and is highly addictive (thanks a lot Doc). Luckily I read up on it and voluntarily decided to quit taking it before I suffered any adverse effects.
I've heard some pretty scary stories about people having problems months and even years later after taking sleeping medications. |
Sorry to hear about this schola, and it's exactly what I want people to be aware of, and have a method to correct. Clonazepam isn't even a decent sleeping tablet because it is waayy too long acting, so congrats on getting off it safely.
I hope with the support of places like this
