Thanks for the info, Mitch. No, I have had sleep problems for a decade+. I had the old-school ADs then Prozac (but no other SSRI)then the Wellbutrin. Doc didn't give me any Benzos until afer the Wellbutrin, because of the anxiety-related problems it exacerbated. First Klonopin, which was fine, then the clorazepate, which I think is weaker. However, now he wants to get me off them all together because I am "tolerant" to their effects, according to him. I have never increased the dose, or used them "recreationally". Don't get him. I have considered the sleep-study deal, and am going to try to rule out some possible physical causes, as I said in previous post. I always attributed sleep problems to my mind that never seems to want to stop thinking, not necessarily worrying. That's probably why Doc wants me on the mood stabilizers like those he has tried, but I have not liked: Neurontin, Topamax and Depakote to name a few. I really don't think he sees me enough to really know me and actually listen to what I am telling him.
