Greetings, y'all. I'm on day two of tapering off. Yesterday, I was able to keep it to one beer an hour from noon until midnight and only had very mild withdrawal symptoms, like a headache. I didn't even shake at all. The plan today is to start tapering a couple of hours later then to only have one ever 1.5 hours then only to taper after work for the next few days to slow down until my body is ready to make the final jump without being at too much risk. I know tapering can be risky in terms of relapsing, but I'm extremely committed at this point and I know others have successfully tapered, so I know I can, too.
But I do have a question. Everything I've read says to use melatonin or valerian to get some sleep during the insomnia caused by the withdrawals (I was up literally all night last night). I found a product called Alteril that has both melatonin and valerian and also L-tryptophan, but it does say not to use it with alcohol. But given that I'll only be having 7 or 8 all day today and almost all of it will have metabolizd by the time I'm ready to go to bed, this really shouldn't be an issue, right?
Thanks in advance for any help and if there's a better place to ask this question, point the way.
