Hi everyone,
Last night I slept with no sleeping pills!!!! For anyone who isn't familiar with my story, I am a relatively recent anxiety sufferer, and have been on sleeping pills for 4.5 months. My first attempt to get off the sleeping pills was a failure, and very traumatizing! However this time I decided to take it slower and try to taper over a month. Well, its been 2 weeks, and I'm done! Wasn't worried at all about it last night when I went to bed, and my boyfriends hacking cough (getting over a BAD cold/flu) did wake me up a few times, but I could get back to sleep. Yee haw...one more monkey off my back! Here's hoping that this continues, and that I'm able to stay off them for good!

PS. If anyone is thinking about weaning from sleeping pills, drop me a line, I accumulated quite a few tips/strategies that helped tremendously!
