Bipolar disorder or diabetes may cause vivid dreaming along with taking depression medication, sleep medication, and some over-the-counter drugs.

Question by G: is xanax or klonopin easier to get off after a few months use?
i want to get off now before i become more addicted. this is the longest i have used these types of medications on a daily basis. i get xanax .25 ( a quarter of a mg) and i take one in the morning and usually two other times during the day. one in the morning, either 1-2 midday and 2 at night equaling a total of a about 1 or 1.25 mg a day. so thats 3 times a day roughly 1 mg total. i got off after doing this for about a month and just had some trouble sleeping for a few days and was irritable at times. this was mild for 4 days or so and then i was fine. but this time, it has been about 2 months or so. im sure it wont be zero withdrawal, but 1 mg of xanax relatively low for only a 2month period of time correct? i have the option of switching to klonopin. i understand that can be helpful. however, this seems to be the case with people who have been chronic users and i trying to wean off over a period of up to a year. im going to wean off over 2 weeks. would this be helpful or possibly worse? i figure if its a longer half life, it may not be as strong, as it is “spread out” but usually the longer the half life, the longer the withdrawal period and this makes perfect sense, and is the case with opiods. klonopan seems to just help people with the xanax roller coaster effect of ups and downs, but answering me under the impression that this is not a problem for me, wouldnt just lowering my xanax dose be easier as i am already used to “being asleep” with it “worn off” since i sleep 8 hours and xanax has wound down by then usually? seems klonopan would only make sleeping worse getting off of this because it would be in my system during my entire sleep period vs xanax which is just present at the beginning…. any thoughts? please address the issue of short term use, as i can find no information on this other than klonopin being easier to get off of long term… thanks
