When couples try to overcome sleep medication dependency together

My partner and I both take sleep medications but we're trying to get off them together, and it's been awful — we're both anxious, neither of us is sleeping, and we keep triggering each other's insomnia while trying to white-knuckle through withdrawal. We know we need support but we're also trying to support each other and failing at both.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Simultaneous withdrawal is creating a feedback loop of mutual sleep disruption and anxiety.
