Is It Safe To Stop Benzpdiazepines After Regular Usage?

Hello Dr. I have been taking xanax for the past year, along with 60 milligrams of restoril. I have stopped taking my dosage of xanax, and it has not been easy. I am continuing with the restoril at night because I will go nights without sleep not taking them. I would like to stop all benzodiazepines, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
