So far people have suggested between two different benzos, even smoking weed lol. If only I knew what would give me even the slightest bit of rest then I would've taken it immediately. Like I said earlier nothing has been successful with my chronic insomnia so far so I'm desperately open to taking suggestions from anyone at this point. This must be what people with fatal familial insomnia or sporadic fatal insomnia feel like, the complete inability to enter REM sleep or anything past the first stage, though there are rare occasions where I dream but it only lasts for minutes. ( Forgot to mention that same psychiatrist at the time gave me ativan which did nothing at all for anxiety and benadryl which caused restless leg syndrome. ) So basically they conpletely ruined my life and somehow made it worse in attempt to "undo" it.

Benzos make you very addictive. I dont think its a good med in general. Probably just for some days when you have a crisis but you shouldnt take it in general you need to Küpper the Dose to have the same effects
 
Do people eventually accept the fact that they've been crippled by the medication and go about their life or do they constantly reminisce about the past and how things could've gone differently, not that thinking about it helps anyways. I'm not gunna lie I tend to be a negative person that tells myself I'll never make a full recovery, I expect something but I'm guaranteed that certain side effects and damage will persist for as long as I'm alive. People tell me to accept it and move on but I genuinely can't bring myself to accept my current state of life. Hell sometimes I wish my former psychiatrist knew exactly what it felt like so she wouldn't hand out injections like they're candy to people who don't even need it in the slightest. Now I know what hell on earth feels like, or being a prisoner of your own mind. ( oh look I'm no longer a greenlighter newbie yay)

So far I've heard alot of mixed opinions on what I should attempt to do, in the end of the day though I'm no longer concerned about addiction or side effects as long as I get some form of deep sleep that's all that matters to me.

I hope you eventually manage to recover from those feelings. Nobody whether schizophrenic, psychotic, or completely "ordinary" people should ever have to experience any of these terrible side effects. The only thing giving me some kind of hope is the support and understanding of people here.

Thank you so much, I'm certain I'll make some kind of recovery, I just don't realistically see how people can make a full recovery as if it was never in their system to begin with.

There’s plenty of people who have made full recoveries here are some of the guys who have hopeful stories @paranoid android, @Kaatrina, @Bogdan, @Hopefuldopeful, @Decisive, @Jonnyhalo, @Bigsmoke420, @iridescentblack, @Steph78, there’s more but I can’t think of them off the top of my head.
