This is day Nine for me.  I am still not sleeping "right" either.  I get 6-7 hours every night, but it is interupted sometime in the night.  I usually wake about 3 AM and get back to sleep within an hour. This pattern started after day 5.  Before that I was getting up at 3 and not getting back to sleep for a couple of hours.  I guess it will get better and better. My Doc says it can be 4-6 weeks until your body and mind are completely "normal."  I don't know if I have ever been "normal"

I've been reading this forum for about two months preparing myself for the big day c/t. Well I did it, last pill was Tuesday at 7:00pm of last week. I was a pretty heavy user about 15 perts a day. I truely believe that all the advice that I took piece by piece from all of you is what made this work. I luckly have a rx for xanax and I just slept the first three days. When to the drug store and got the vitimans b12, hyland leg, milk thisle ect. Im back at work today and feeling wonderful. As for sleep if you can get your hands some xanax or otc sleep aid that might help. I also took 3 motrins before bed for the leg cramps.
