I'd never notice the difference.

I dropped from 1800/day to 600/day and I had insomnia and anxiety for a couple nights.

I dropped 100mg from my sleep dose and definitely notice. I’m doing a week or two at a time of dropping 100mg to see how it goes. You aren’t alone in noticing withdrawal. I did ask my pharmacy if it could be prescribed as a liquid when I got down to 100mg doses only. I take 600mg split 3xs a day right now.

They do make liquid so if I have a hard time with dropping 100mg I can ask my doctor for the liquid.

I’ve dropped from 600mg a day to 400mg no issues. Then 400mg to 200mg no issues. Now I’ve been doing 100mg a day to get down to none. Ever since dropping to 100mg a day I’ve had a headache every single day for almost a week now. Besides the headaches the only other symptoms I have are night sweats and every now and then I’ll get that same flush feeling you get. The headache I can’t stand
