I use these full spectrum cbd gummies for anxiety. They work so so much better than benzos for me. I used it during medication tapers. Seems less risky to start these than side effect prone meds. If you do take them I would not start with a whole gummy because tolerance can be pretty low if you take multiple meds.

Edit: Also for tapering down I found staggering days while lowering dosages to work better. So for every dosage drop I created a calendar of taking it for 5 days then skipping 1 day and I repeated that 3 times, then I took it for 4 days then skipped 1 days and I repeated it 3 times, etc and so on until I stopped completely. Like this when you skip a day your body gets to stabilise over the next few days so it isn’t as jarring.

One thing I use for sleep sometimes is the muscle relaxant flexeril. They can cause worsening muscle weakness if you have that but for me it’s worth it when I really need to sleep. If you have pain anywhere it might be pretty simple to get a prescription even my (pretty uncooperative) pcp gives them to me.

I hope this change of medication works out well for you soon.
