So, I’m on day 19, and while I usually sleep for at least 6 hours a night, it’s always 2 hours – wake up – 4 hours, it seems. But, after the first few weeks of insomnia, it feels a million times better even to sleep this way, now.

Just thought I would post an update. Eating a lot of protein seems to help, too. Eggs and bacon every morning, some kind of fresh meat every afternoon. And lots of bananas! I’m 99% sure that if you don’t eat healthy, it will take you infinitely longer to recover.

Other than the sleeplessness, I feel like I’ve made a full physical recovery. While I’ve heard that it can still come in waves, or every other day, or whatever, I’ve been feeling fine for the last 3 days, and unless I eat crappy food, I feel normal most of the day… until night hits, and then I get 5x more energy somehow and can never sleep.

Good luck to anyone who finds the willpower to stop subs… even if you go right back on it, you should at least understand what quitting it is like, I think.
