how do you determine what dose and the frequencey to take during the day when you get up at 4am and usually go to bed at 9. sleeping is very difficult, only 1 hour at a time and usually nightmares also. im trying to withdraw from 40 mg. but seem to be stuck there. i went to a detox center in dec. for 6 days coming off 100 mg. that part worked but felt lousy for many weeks afterwards. maybe it was the drugs they gave me to detox. i certainly dont want to do it that way again. i have a chronic back and neck condition from a faii off a roof at work in 1997. didnt take pain meds until the past year or so. anyway im trying to come opff them. i liked this post very much but would like a little more advice please...
