When my husband had his heart attack and I had to get less than 10 hours I was a jombie. The only aide I take at night is my Clonazepam and Amitryptyllin. Spelling I'm sure is wrong on both those meds. But if I don't take them I don't sleep well at all. So is that addiction???
Weren't you a nurse? Its about the risks vs. benefits becaues yes, long term benzodiazepine use can result in physical dependence and tolerance.
