A great, cautionary article. Thx for posting.

Benzos are horrible. Stay off them! I took lorazepam for sleep for a long time and I didnt think I could ever sleep without them. Now I sleep great with nothing but melatonin & Tryptophan. I say if anyone is hooked on Benzos-Get off them asap!

Re: Common Sleep Meds Highly Addictive
they have given me a boat load of different sleep meds over the years. i need them sometimes but i have yet to find one of any class that isnt to strong for me
Re: Common Sleep Meds Highly Addictive
The two worst things about Benzos: 1. Foggy headedness. They F**** your head up and make you feel like crap.
2. The withdrawals from them can literally kill you

No doubt. The withdrawals from Benzos can cause cardiac arrest...Most people who are quitting benzos need to be monitored by a dr so they dont kill themselves. Very dangerous drug! Warning: Dont be fooled, benzos kill people.

I do shift work and have a very tough time adjusting to sleeping at night once I get "switched over" to sleeping during the day while on night shift. I use melatonin to help with this but it is only moderatey effective and not always. I will definitely look into these two things you mention here!
