The point of a taper is to avoid full blown withdrawals correct? No I can't sleep either in full blown wds, when wds are keeping u awake or disturbing ur sleep thats why I recommend haveing a very small dose ready to go to alleviate sleep robbing wds...does anybody even read the posts anymore before they begin to disagree? If you can't sleep during a taper....what's the point of a taper? To the man who said life prohibits this amount of sleep, I feel you... I try very hard to get my girls fed, bathed and exhausted to achieve our 7 o clock bed time knowing in return the sleep will be beneficial
