I am currently:

I've been taking Carbamazapine for a couple of years (600mg) and I've found it really helpful. The only problem I have with it is that it makes my mind less sharp; my thinking isn't as clear and my memory isn't too good. It's extremely unlikely that these drugs are going to kill you in your sleep! It's not surprising you're sleeping a lot though; they're all sedating drugs. I suspect the Clonazepam and Zopiclone have been given on a short-term basis though. I mean, if you don't feel like you need the Zopiclone to help you sleep, then don't take it. Same with the Clonazepam. They're the kind of drugs docs prescribe for prn use in urgent situations (to use as needed rather than regularly) - if the urgent need to calm down isn't there any more, it should be okay to reduce the dose or not take them. Probably best to double check that with your doc or psych; I'm only going on perseonal experience here, I'm not medically trained



And the illusion of love is the only promise of defence, and even that will crumble.
