Withdrawal and insomnia (w/response)

[Guest guest]

<<Dear :

I have been reducing my clonazepam intake from 0.25 mg daily to 0.0225 mg in

about 5 months. I was doing more or less well. I was sleeping ok. This last

week I added magnesium Citrate capsules, 100 mg twice a day, one capsule in

the morning and one around 3-4 pm. After 5 days on Magnesium I developed

insomnia. Now I have 3 days in a row and I only have slept about 4 total

hours, with one night of total insomnia.

My question is : Can magnesium cause insomnia during withdrawal? or maybe

because I am near the end (planning to get off by April 15) I am developing

this because of withdrawal per se?

I am beginning to get desperate thinking about returning to my intense

anxiety.

Thanks for your advice

** , magnesium helps people sleep. Your problem is most likely a part of

withdrawal. When was your last drug reduction and how much was it?
