I can’t believe this article was posted today.

I’ve been on clonazepam for sleep (.5mg) since 2014. Last Monday (a week ago) I stopped — cold turkey. I stopped for many reasons, the least of which was the dulling effect on my less than well-performing brain.

I realize I should not have stopped in that manner, but I did and I don’t regret it. It has been a tough week, but I’m finally seeing the positive changes of stopping. I may not be totally through the effects but I believe I’m over the hump now.

There was a very good reason for the doctor putting me on this drug for sleep when I started. It was my bad move to stay on it for so long. It is just another good reason to become your own medical advocate and to not take the medical profession’s directions blindly.

Bye, bye clonzapam!

Supposedly cbd works to help folks sleep. If interested look into Lazarus naturals, ax they have a very,good reputation and a less expensive product especially if a person is disabled or a vet. They get 60% off.

This is sold in supplement form as PEA. Life Extension brand has a chewable form.
Those I know who take it, including my wife and myself find that the most noticeable effect is it enhances sleep. Our family doctor says it is perfectly safe.

Abstract

All nations which have undergone a nutrition transition have experienced increased frequency and falling latency of chronic degenerative diseases, which are largely driven by chronic inflammatory stress. Dietary supplementation is a valid strategy to reduce the risk and severity of such disorders. Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endocannabinoid-like lipid mediator with extensively documented anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective effects. It is well tolerated and devoid of side effects in animals and humans. PEA’s actions on multiple molecular targets while modulating multiple inflammatory mediators provide therapeutic benefits in many applications, including immunity, brain health, allergy, pain modulation, joint health, sleep and recovery. PEA’s poor oral bioavailability, a major obstacle in early research, has been overcome by advanced delivery systems now licensed as food supplements. This review summarizes the functionality of PEA, supporting its use as an important dietary supplement for lifestyle management.

Try Ambein. I take it. It's not a benzo and it's not habit forming.
Works like a charm. No heavy headed ''hangover'' feeling the next day.
