Congrats on 6 months off!!!  Wishing you continued healing!

Thank you, everyone.  It's been a brutally hard road - as all of you know - but I'm here to assure you it does get better and the journey is well worth it.  Continued healing to all of you.

Congradulations Moby, Love these posts.  So encouraging.  Linder

Moby,

 

CONGRATS!!!

 

I was really worried about you when you posted back in September about being fearful of coming off of Ambien. I wrote a long rant about the evils and perils of that drug in the hopes that it might nudge you a little further toward getting off.

 

Well, I don't know we folks here on BBs nudged you at all, or if you made up your own mind and just did it. Anyway, how you did it is not really important... the fact that you did it is of paramount, dare I say, lifesaving importance!!!

 

Congratulations to you!

 

By the way, each successive month off of Ambien, I sleep better and better... not 100% yet... but improving every month both in average time slept each night and in terms of sleep quality. Just wanted to let you know that sleep continues to improve slowly over a long period of time after stopping Ambien.  You have more healing and ever-improving sleep to look forward to.

 

Did I say congratulations?  Hmmm... I just cannot recall. Must be the benzo brain  , so in case not, I'll say it again:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

 

Best Wishes on your continued healing,

 

Albie

Thanks Albie!

 

It was your encouragement (and advice from other members) that convinced me to kick Ambien.  I also found a benzo addiction doc who switched me to a low dose of Trazodone to help me sleep.  I take 25 mgs. of Trazodone and I'm slowly tapering off that.  My sleep is generally pretty good now, but as you know, Ambien was a nightmare to kick. Even though I still have some mild symptoms, I'll take those over the way I felt on Klonopin and Ambien any day of the week.

 

I really appreciate all your advice and help, and I wish you all the best.

Thank you Mobyk for posting your success story.  It was just what I needed to read after the last month.  I will be 5 months free tomorrow but still suffering horribly.  I am so happy for you - continued good luck with your success. 

Love from Hoping2BFree

Hi Moby - I sent you a Personal Message - but it was returned to me - would you rather not receive PM's?  I apologize.

Sorry Hoping, my computer glitched.  I sent you a personal message.  Let me know if you get it.

 

Moby

Yes Moby - I got it - thanks for the encouraging words.  Continued healing and happiness to you.
