Answer
eVERYONE REACTS DIFFERENTLY HOWEVER ALL THESE meds are addicting before you come off it alert your md, you must gradually cut the dose in 1/4 every 7 days as all the anxious insomnia symptoms will come back even worse.  ask your md. feel free to email again.  All of these meds you should have every 3months blood tests to check liver and kidney after the first year only yearly.karel
