Sonata Withdrawal

Posted by 1lablvr on October 31, 2006, at 14:16:12 [reposted on November 1, 2006, at 17:52:05 | original URL]

I have been taking 5mg. of Sonata for sleep for a month. My psych Doc told me just to quit, no tapering. I am having terrible withdrawal symptoms, namely rapid heart rate, tugging heart pain, and , obviously, insomnia. The only thing worse was narcotic withdrawal after knee surgery. She advised me to take 25 mg. extra tenormin before I go to bed. This takes the edge off for 3 or 4 hours, and allows me to sleep.

I am also on Pamelor, Klonopin, Tenormin, Carafate, and have just started with 10mg of Lamictal.

I am extremely sensitive to all meds, and any change. I am in great physical health. I have some leftover catapres from when I was coming off the narcotics post-surgery. I remember I took them for 5 days, and felt no withdrawal.

It seems unbelievable that I would have such horrible sensations by reducing it to .25mg of Sonata a night.

Thanks,
1lablvr
