Sleep med weaning process

Welp I stopped getting withdrawal effects from seroquel a couple days ago, meaning the nausea and general lack of appetite stopped. (I think I just like barely ate anything for a week I lost like 4 lbs lol). Now I am starting to go off the benzo which is Ativan currently. Took .5 mg last night. I’ve never had a hard time going off Ativan in the past so this is less for fear of withdrawal symptoms and more out of fear that my crappy sleep lately will create psychosis problems for me the Ativan has been helping with so I’m sort of testing if that comes up. Last night was fine though.

Kind of annoying dealing with my natural circadian rhythm again though. I really am not sleepy naturally until 4 am. Then I wake up at 2 pm. Lot of wasted time.

Yeah. Once I get off these though I’ll just be on depakote and modafinil which is nice. Then hopefully I will have xyrem for any further sleep emergencies. I had to go off the seroquel & benzo to be prescribed that anyways.

I took benadryl an hour ago and the crap doesn’t work.
