Panic anxiety and insomnia?

My tolerance to Klonopin caused me the same trouble. I used to be able to take 1-2mg and it would help me to fall asleep. That stopped working last year and I tried all the typical hypnotics (Ambien, sonata) but I built a high tolerance to them as well and the insurance company and doctors don’t want you to take them every night. So my doc went old school and put me on 100mg trazodone. It’s been working well for me. When I first started talking it one thing I did not like was it made me feel like I could not swallow. And I have rituals to help me sleep, so I used to always need a wintergreen lifesaver or cough drop to suck on, but then I felt I could not swallow so it was weird. I actually no longer need the candy anymore and by eliminating it I don’t feel that weird inability to swallow anymore. The two things that I really like is that I will start to fall asleep within 20 min of taking it and I don’t wake up feeling groggy or drunk or tired. I actually stared to wake up before my alarm went off which is something I never said in my life. It was quite the contrary — before trazodone I used to sleep thru my alarm without ever hearing it. If you haven’t tried it I would suggest asking your doctor about it.

I can also break the 100mg in half if I don’t want to fall asleep but if I’m feeling panic or anxiety. But I found that since I cut back on the benzos, my tolerance has dropped, and now I can actually take 0.5mg Klonopin and it eases my social or situational anxiety

Good luck and I hope you get your meds worked out soon.
