they can wreck havoc on you.
When did you start the modafinil? Do you take it first thing in the morning?
How long have you noticed decreased sleep?

Thanks bizi. I have been weaning off benzos for only 11 days, since I started taking Baclofen which is kind of a safer replacement, apparently. Gone from around 4mg a day to 0.5-1mg. Have tried tapering off Clonzepam before and it was hell but this last 11 days has been easy thanks to the Baclofen. The idea is I will taper off the Clonazepam over the next couple of months and then taper off the Baclofen (which is much easier to get off, I hope!)
I have notice the decreased sleep for about a week. First broken sleep for about 8 hours then broken sleep over 4 hours. Going to take meds tonight (Olanzapine) to try and knock me out. If I do this for a couple of days I might be able to reset my brain.
