Symptoms...scared

I am tapering down from Oxazepam (originally prescribed for sleep which it never really helped still only 2-4hohrs a night) I have had wd symptoms since initial drop from 37.5mg to 22.5mg. The past 2 nights I have my original symptoms which are not being able to sleep because a deep terror overwhelms me. I even took benedryl last night and it did nothing. Please help I am scared of not sleeping another night. I’ve been holding this dose for almost 2 weeks now. Do I go back up? Will this end? I’m scared shirtless right now

Is there anything out there that can help me sleep that’s not a Benzo or antidepressant?

I feel for you , I am in the same position and have been in the past.

I just wait it out there is really nothing else you can do.

Hope sleep comes for you soon.

I'd wait it out too Miracle.  But that's just me. 

 

I know the terror is terrible, terrifying, but is does abate eventually.  It begins to reduce.

This is from the Insomnia section (the body scan link). Maybe you might find some useful information there.
