Thanks for sharing your story Wendy Coop.

I’ve been on that spiral for years. I used to be able to get by on 4 hrs of sleep & still function fairly normal the next day. Now, I can barely function on 8 hrs of sleep. I take Clonazepam 4 times per day for Generalized Anxiety & Panic disorder. I also have xanax on hand for breakthrough anxiety & sleep.

I try not to use the xanax every day, I don’t want to build a tolerance, that’s what happened w/my Klonopin over the years & why I’m on a higher dose now. If I don’t get enough sleep, I am physically sick, weak at the knees, dizzy and get vertigo off and on. What symptoms you suffer from with lack of sleep?

You’ll have to update and let me know how your schedule is working & if you were able to stick with it. Wishing you the best!
