I've rediscovered energy! I'm like doing things, like sweeping while waiting for the laundry to spin. The down side is dreaming. I'm normally a vivid dreamer, and they're back. Ugh. Weird, creepy, scary dreams. I don't wake up, thankfully. Not yet. Insomnia is how my entire depressive state started, way back when. Leery of that insomnia thing.

I use Headspace for night time stories and night time waking.

Yes, vivid dreaming is part of the withdrawal process.
That's how I had my stroke.
I was having SUCH A TERRIBLE dream, I stroked out.
I have fully recovered, thank the Lord.
