Many people who quit using sleeping pills experience withdrawals. Withdrawal symptoms can last several weeks depending on how long you have been using the medication and dosage levels. The best way to manage withdrawal symptoms is by going through medical detox.
The severity of withdrawal symptoms varies from person to person. Common symptoms include:
- Seizures
- Delirium
- Body spasms
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Sweating
- Depression
- Hallucinations
- Confusion
- Heart rate changes
- Tremors
- Vomiting
- Nausea
Most withdrawal symptoms associated with sleeping pills are not life-threatening, but complications can occur if you are not careful. Rebound insomnia is one of the most common withdrawal symptoms people experience after quitting sleeping pills. Rebound insomnia happens because the body is still dependent on drugs to fall asleep in the first few weeks after quitting. During this time, a patient’s insomnia returns, sometimes worse than they previously experienced.
