A patient was referred to us by her physician for having difficulty with discontinuing her prescription sleeping medication. She had been using it for 2 decades and was unable to quit due to rebound insomnia and withdrawal symptoms. The limited commercial dosing options made it difficult for her to taper off slowly, so she "trudged through life, exhausted with poor sleep, suffering terrible drug side effects, wondering if I'd ever be free". We were able (with her physician's order) to compound a liquid form of her medication in decreasing doses. After 2 decades of using this medication, she was able to completely stop after only 3 months, with no withdrawals or rebound insomnia. She writes " I just had to write and say thanks for the service you provide people like me, who fall between the cracks of "mainstream pharma." Today I'm enjoying life free of both the prescription medication and insomnia. I feel great, sleep great, and it just gets better every day!
