Suggest Treatment For Insomnia After Weaning Off From Clonazepam

Hi, can I answer your health question? Please type your question here... I am getting off of Clonazepam and am down to 3/8 25mg tablet from four T. This last half is really difficult. I ve been getting rebound insomnia (have not slept for three nights), and was prescribed (as a sleep aid) Remeron oral 15 mg T, of which I was taking slightly less than 1/2 at bedtime and 1/4 in the early AM. I put up with the side effects (ringing in ears, slight dizziness, slight headache) because I was getting good sleep. Four nights ago, it stopped working. I m exhausted and feeling discouraged. I m very sensitive to most sleep aids (Sudafed, Ambien, even some homeopath sleep aids.) L-Tryptophan has been helpful, as has Clonazepam. I do all the stuff recommended in sleep books (cool dark room, no screen time after 5pm, etc.) , but it s not helping in this case.I ve worked so hard to get off of the Clonazepam and don t want to add more. I need to get some sleep! Any suggestions?
