[Da...] Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I don't sleep until I'm able to take my .25 mg clonazepam and that is at sunrise so around 6pm. Lately I haven't been able to sleep at night/ in the morning at all until sunrise. I have noticed a huge increase in ocd/intrusive thoughts although I had been unable to pinpoint the cause. Also increased dp/dr. I have felt this way sort of when I was younger and had first started taking clonazepam or increased the dose. I would sleep a lot but no matter how much I slept my brain still felt sleep deprived and I had strong dp/dr. Maybe I'm not getting enough REM sleep. This is a new symptom for me. The thing is I am over 8 months from my last cut and only taking .25 mg and was wondering if this could be a normal symptom from withdrawal months later? Also has anyone else had ocd symptoms or dp/dr or feeling of not getting enough sleep months after quitting benzos or lowering the dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Th...] Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Unfortunately as long as you're still on a Benzo you're going to experience symptoms... Protracted Withdrawal Symptoms can last a long time for most people that either CT or taper off of Benzos. I was a short-term (6 month user) and had PAWs for 10 months and then lingering milder symptoms until month 24 I would expect the unexpected. Keep doing your taper until you're off then real healing will begin Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
