You might want to jump pretty soon if you are already feeling that way so you dont end up prolonging your WD you have done great you are hitting the home stretch.

until you go all the way off that's why we said now would be a good time to jump..once you jump  diarrhea may last a few days .For some the sleeplessness can take awhile I would exercise everyday it can help with the sleep.

a few weeks before you are sleeping as well constantly it took me 4 weeks before I slept great again but I got sleep before that point it just tended to be broken i would sleep a few hours then be up for an hour or two and go back to sleep.
