    You have a major prescription drug addiction and your body is very tolerant to sedative hypnotics. 8 klonopin and 40 mg of valium should put someone in a coma or kill them. You better be careful benzodiazepines will fry your brain. Take it from a former benzo addict like myself. You think opiates and speed messes you up? You wait until the benzos start frying your brain. The withdrawal from them is horrendous and it can take years for someone on a dose like you are on to wean themselves completely off because the withdrawal symptoms are that hardcore. You can actually die from coming off benzos cold turkey due to seizures which you would be at high risk of having seeing as you are on mega doses of benzos. You should check out this addiction forum for sedative hypnotic drugs http://www.non-benzodiazepines.org.uk/

    Get help for your prescription drug addiction before you swallow yourself into a mental hospital.

    Gidday matey!

    Yes many people who have had drug and or alcohol addictions (as myself with alcohol) have acute problems with their sleep patterns.

    It's got to do with the central nervous system not releasing certain chemicals that induce sleep.

    And even when tired, because of years of our mind and body not knowing when tired means sleep, ...I think you'd know what I mean, then we have have confused it somewhat!

    It takes allot of discipline and practice with time to get a format of sleep routine happening.

    I know what it's like to maxed out with drink and serapax and still be doing whatever I was, (maybe another blackout?)

    when I probably should have been clinically dead many times!

    And yes your body is very immune. We normally keep that high tolerance for I don't know how long? A good few years I'd say.

    So I know where your at!

    And if it's any help there are thousands + thousands of us!

    Hooray for YA yeah?

    Don't take more than the prescribe dosages of your medicine. The drugs you've listed all have an effect on your nervous system (and therefore your breathing) and you could easily overdose.

    Your insomnia is probably related to your past drug addiction and your need to see your doctor to have your medicines adjusted. My guess is that your nervous system is still used to be revved up by the speed and has not yet returned to normal. Your doctor may be able to give you something else.

    Until then hang in there and be proud of yourself for having the courage and strength to stop. It may take a while for your body to fully adjust, but it is well worth it. Good luck and best wishes!

    This is too much to take. I have taken them too during a real tragedy in my life. They are addictive. Since you have already been an addict, please don't use these meds like that. I take Desyrel for sleep and it works well. Talk to your Dr. Be honest about this and he should be ablt to help with a sleep aid that will work and not so habit forming.

    Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress,

    dietary and medical problems. By making

    small lifestyle changes like having a fixed

    daily routine, relaxing and eating properly,

    insomnia can be cured. I found the information at

    PS...Truth hurts...you're simply a precription drug junkie...don't kid yourself...go to the toilet and dump them in...now see how you're able to sleep better once they're completely out of your system.
