Melissa simply dreamed of getting a good night's sleep.

A layoff at work, the birth of a child with special needs, and relationship problems with her husband—consumed by anxiety, she didn't notice the dawn, then another night—and then another sleepless night. But is it possible to unlearn how to sleep?

Chronic insomnia affects 33% of the adult population (PubMed Central).

To treat her insomnia, her doctor prescribed benzodiazepines. Thus began her story of a waking nightmare, when her entire body turns into a taut nerve, and a fire burns beneath her skin.

Physical dependence and irreversible brain damage are the price one pays for this "pharmaceutical magic." Melissa overcame this to tell her truth about the drugs prescribed to millions today.

Melissa Bond is a poet and journalist. She will be a keynote speaker at the 2022 National Coalition Against Prescription Drug Abuse Conference. In 2021, she was an invited speaker at the National Down Syndrome Association conference.
