I'm going to try a couple more (2x25 mg) to try and get a few more winks, hoping it will help me through my withdrawls. Of course, if I could get past teh anxiety and panic attacks, I probably could get some good sleep.

I don't even know what my piont is, other than I want some more sleep. Just sayin'...
Me too. I think the DTs and cravings aren't so bad except no hunger and no sleep. I drink Boost for the former, started taking Benadryl for the later. I got a few hours in. I'm so tired now but I go to bed, lay down and am wide awake.

Thanks for the heads up, I won't be doing this for long. Dang it, trade one addiction for another. I was a month off cigs but have smoke 3/4 of a pack since I started on my DT (it does calm my stomach and really helped with the early cravings).
