I wonder if i have shocked my system too much ?
Cut the caffine by at least 50% , cut the nicotine by 50-75%
Have not taken any Xanax in a few days , I was taking .25-.5 at night .
Not daily ,but 1-3 times a week .
Have not taken any OTC sleep aids in a few days either .
Used to take Z -qulll .
I slept good last night ,for about 6 hours ,But the stomach is messed up today and was yesterday .
I still have a lot of vacation ,I called in today .
I know I could not ,or would not want to deal with limited toilet space at work today .
The bathroom is like everything else we have at work ,marginal capacity for the workforce size .

It sounds like you're cutting out too much at once. Why not one thing at a time gradually? Or is the addictive behavior rearing its head in an inverted way?
Just some first impressions ....

Im a planning type of person ,I like a road map laid out . I don't think im obsessive about it . ?
A laid out plan ,reduces stress in my life . Now there are times the laid out plan wont work ,I just shrug it off and reset the plan .
Ill be the first to admit I like things where I can find them , especially tools on the farm . At work I write down what I need to do . at the end of the day I wrote down what I have left to do so ill know where to start tomorrow . I do this as a stress reduction plan -and it works for me .
.
Im trying to work on the sleep problem ,I just set a point in time and consume no caffine after 9 am . My cutoff has been 11am -12 pm for years .
I would drink about 4 cups coffee ,then 1-2 diet cokes (12oz ) then I might have a 20 oz bottle .
I still use my Copenhagen I just reduced the size of the pinch I put in my mouth .I used to go through a can in 1 to 1-1/2 days . Now a can will last almost 4 days .
The Xanax was just taken a few times a week ,seldom 2 days in a row .
So not taking it for several days is quite normal .
I guess the most I have ever taken in a day was 1 mg , and that has been so few times I can recall most of them .
Amount prescribed is .5 mg ,Normally break those in half and take one on those nights I know I wont sleep .
I would think it very odd ,id have any kind of dependence on them ,A 30 count bottle lasts several months .
I have not taken a Klonopin in so long ,I cant recall the last one ,I get 15 of those 1mg . I normally cut those in half as well
I have never used the entire prescription of either of these ,most of the time it expires and I throw them away .
I will go months and not take a advil or Tylenol . No other prscribed meds .

I take a magnesium supplement to help with sleep. Insomnia is like a punishment. Hope you get some quality sleep.

I really suggest you see a Dr before starting an supplement, but especially magnesium in your case right now Karate
There are medicine interactions too as there are with most supplements
Magnesium — Health Professional Fact Sheet
Health Risks from Excessive Magnesium
Too much magnesium from food does not pose a health risk in healthy individuals because the kidneys eliminate excess amounts in the urine [28]. However, high doses of magnesium from dietary supplements or medications often result in diarrhea that can be accompanied by nausea and abdominal cramping [1]. Forms of magnesium most commonly reported to cause diarrhea include magnesium carbonate, chloride, gluconate, and oxide [11]. The diarrhea and laxative effects of magnesium salts are due to the osmotic activity of unabsorbed salts in the intestine and colon and the stimulation of gastric motility [55].

Yes ,plans change .
A little diversion in plans is to be expected in farming .
