what is the effective triazolam withdrawal strategy?

Answer 1

I'm sorry but you really need to get the withdrawal strategy from your doctor. Withdrawing the medication will be based on how long you have been on it, dealing with issues that arise during the weaning process and implementing strategies to cope with the original problem (insomnia).

During this time period though, you will want to follow the routine strategies for coping with insomnia (in addition to anything your doctor recommends). The routine strategies include:
avoid or limit caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, especially in the evening.
make sure none of your medications are affecting your sleep
go to bed and get up at the same time EVERY day
save the bed for sleeping and sex only...no tv
exercise daily at least 4 hours before bedtime
limit bedtime to 8 hours
do not nap
relax in the evenings...don't do anything stimulating
eat meals at regular times
try to avoid a bedtime snack
when in bed, concentrate on relaxing
get lots of sunshine
keep your bedroom quiet, dark, and cool
try a sleep mask
avoid beverages at night
try using white noise

It might help to try and keep a sleep diary so that you can document your sleep issues. Contact me for more info on this if you want to spend the time doing it.
