Beating a dead horse

Really short update. Last night I slept for about seven hours. No sleeping meds at all. This is significant - I only hope the trend (if one night is a trend) continues.

UPDATE: Didn't sleep at all last night (3/16). This is the most frustrated I've ever been!

UPDATED UPDATE: Went to my GP this afternoon (3/17), and he explained that getting any sleep at all at this point was a bonus. In his experience, people withdrawing from Ativan take months to do it, experience terrible insomnia while in the middle of it, and a large percentage give up and go back on the drug because they get no sleep at all. So I guess I should consider myself lucky.
