thanks for the reply beth....i just called the pharmacist and he said that 7.5mgs of temapazam is the lowest dose and that i'd be fine just stopping it cold turkey since it is only letting me sleep 3 hours at best anyways. he mentioned that getting a new medicine for the "bad nights" that would allow me more sleep would be a good decision; i just called me doctor and inquired about ativan and klonopin to take on the bad nights.

so how many hours did you originally allow yourself in bed when you started SR Beth? right now i've only had this insomnia for 2 months but my problem is both sleep maintenance and sleep onset. did you have troubles with both? i think it is going to be very difficult to convince myslef to get out of bed every 20 minutes and engage in a boring activity if i can't fall alseep - at that pace i think to myself "well, then i'll never be able to fall asleep!" did anyone else have these same doubts? thanks for the help.
best,
alex
