Anxiety with Restoril?

Posted by sheilac on March 26, 2012, at 13:49:13

I have been taking 30mg of Restoril to sleep. It works after a while, but I have had the worst anxiety in the morning. At first I thought it was the low dose lithium - so I dropped that. Then I thought it was the cup of coffee (never had anxiety with one cup of coffee before).
I thought Restoril is a benzo that is supposed to help with anxiety and sleep.
I am wondering if I wouldn't be better going back to 2mg Klonopin in the evening and Ambian or melatonin for sleep.
Could it be akathesia I am experiencing with Restoril?
