I have been doing the program and now I'm on session 5. I have been taking Cloppzan or Klopin for 5 months now. one pill 1 miligram and then I started doing from 34 to one half. I have been on one half for 2 weeks now and it worked for the first week making me still a little tired to get a good night sleep. Now for the past 6 nights it's not making me tired at all and I have not been sleeping at all. I have been tossing and turning in my bed all night. Im a stay at home mom with two girls at 3 and 5 and now all I feel like doing is laying down but can't go to sleep. I just started running again and I even did a foot massage last night. I'm so lost I can up up to 1 miligram again but I have done so well with 3/4 for months I thought it was time to go to a half and I did so well for a week. Any ideas of what I should do.

Hey,

You are tapering too, fast. It's a benzo, so you should do it 5% a week taper to smooth out the withdrawal effect. If you want a smooth taper there's a program that will help you. It costs to do the program but it will help you.
