Wish I could sleep.................

Today was day 2 on subs .50mg and it was a bit rough. Good news!! I finally found the hylands stuff for the legs that helped that problem to be more tolerable. But I can't sleep, nausea and vomiting :( I'm not sure if I'm just sick or if its from the decrease?? Just hanging in there hoping something will kick in sleep. Just wanted to give a update.

I am glad you got some sleep finally.  I know this may not be the answer you are looking for bud but I like what PorVida said.  If you cannot sleep than you cannot sleep so try to relax and do something else to get your mind off of it.  That is what I would do when I was up all night.  
Hope it gets better for you.

Well I finally got about 3 hours. I would have maybe slept a bit longer if my hubby wasn't so loud at 4:30am getting around for work. I. Just couldn't fall back to sleep after that. I hope I can get a nap in today even if its just 15-20 minutes. Thanks for the support I can't wait for all this to pass.

Ah, Elusive Sandman where art thou? I know the feeling. The sleep will come. Just try to hold fast. I found, as PorVida mentioned above, that decoupling from your symptoms -- like lack of sleep-- was the best thing to do. Music helped, staying on this site helped, as did guided meditations on YouTube. Congrats on your taper. You can do this!

Hang in there. I found when I can't sleep I would just read or pray and not think about sleep. I would also try to think about the positives of quitting without dwelling on how I felt.  This usually helped me relax and sleep
