Unhappy Need some advice......

I have been taking Dalmane{flurazepam }for about a year , I want to stop ....... I kicked the morphine habit that I had for a year but, this med is kicking mine . I have know idea how to taper off of this, what makes it so bad is it comes in capsules how do you taper off of that ? I only take 1 30mg pill at night but, it's beginning to make me feel groggy and sleepy all day. Please any help would surely be appreciated...... Dee

Re: Need some advice......

Common side effects of these sedative/hypnotic drugs include excessive drowsiness, confusion, nausea, tachycardia, nightmares and even (paradoxically) insomnia. Contra-indications include pregnancy and glaucoma. These drugs are not recommended for long-term use, and withdrawal symptoms have been reported.

this is what I have found on this drug maybe you can discuss to your dr about wanting to taper and he can switch you to a different bezo that will be easier to taper off of that can be broken down so you can tapper benzo should not be stopped c/t due to the side affects so this is one option I can tell you about also may look up dr heather ashton she has a benzo tapper that has been used very successfully for others and might have some more suggestions for you. Good luck. Kim
