Last night was kind of tough. I woke up about 1 AM the first time. I was still sleepy but could feel the half life of the Sub hitting me after cutting back like I have the last few days. I was definitely wanting some more Sub. I kind of suspected this would happen, but now I know what to anticipate when I reduce the dosage. I dealt with it all night ... would sleep an hour or so and it would hit me again. It went that way all night. I did not give in and take any meds though.

I know that this is the only time I will be able to make 2mg reductions, while I am taking larger doses. I need to take advantage of it while I can. When I got up this morning I did go ahead and take about 3mg again. I feel better now. I just wanted to see how my body would react to a 2mg reduction. I can handle what I dealt with last night. I don't like it, but it wasn't horrible....just a pain in the butt. I've been through a whole lot worse for sure.

I am curious to see if I experience the same thing tonight trying to sleep or if I can now maintain at 6mg with no hassles. If it goes ok with the 6mg tonight, I will plan on staying here for another 7 days or so I think. I will then knock off another 2mg and try it again. I will try to hold it at 4mg for about 3 weeks and give myself time to heal up some more before trying to reduce it again.... then another 2 mg. That will be when it likely starts getting tough. I know that the final 4mg will go much more slowly than this last 4mg has gone if I don't want to go into bad W/Ds, which I don't if I can do it like I have so far.
