It's the witching hour for both of us. For me tonight it's to Benz or not to Benz. I think I will just becUse I think my body will heal better if I can sleep some. And I don't think it's good for a body/brain to be without sleep for like 5-6 days.
The only thing I'm aftaid of is when I have taken those before who WD I would sleep for maybe 30 mins and then wake up in a huge panic attack. Then be dog *** tired all day. So I don't know. But I know you will be feeling Better soon. Today some clouds were lifting. The morning was brutal but it got better. No sweats or anything. Here's to bein a living zombie! SLEEP OR BUST TONIGHT!

I'm good. Feeling almost whole again! We were in the middle of nowhere ohio all day yesterday and I had no phone or internet. Missed you guys! I've had probably 5 hours of sleep total so I'm sure that has helped me.

Hear, hear......to zombies it is.....we are ALREADY zombies.....just hope it doesn't get worse....ugh....I agree....when I try to take something....it works for 30 minutes, and then makes the cloud even worse the next day. Since it's been so long since you've slept though....you might try it and see if it'll work this time. It's a true gamble though.....

Good luck for both of us..... (are your sweats coming back now that it's night time?).......something's gotta give.....we'll keep each other updated i'm sure....

Definitely hope not, but don't be discouraged if you don't get much yet.  It took a few weeks for sleep to return for me, but it did get a little better each night and now 5 months later I am sleeping better than I have in years.  So know that it IS temporary and unfortunately, very normal in these early days.  As VIC said the Melatonin works great for lots of people.  I took (and still take) magnesium, about 500 - 1000mg before bed.  Potassium helped me too - w/sleep and restless legs stuff.  I still eat a banana every night (might not sound so good to you right now though I know :(  In any case, you are doing great......hang in there; these few nights, or even a couple weeks, are a small price to pay for a lifetime of clean!!!  Sending sleepy vibes your way :))

Hi..I was reading your other post not sure if I went in..Are you using any Melatonin??I was using this after 40 days when I stopped the cloindine..I went c/t from the Methadone & 2 other drugs..So my issue will be different then yours..But I found that when I took the D-3, Cal,Magnz and a Melatonin I Sleep OK..Now I have 215 days and all I want to do is Sleep..I posted once about the Sleep and I got some Great Info..NurseyGirl had some Hot Information..Well they all did..We all have to kind of experiment with what does us justice.BUT This will pass when the body recycles back to a sleep pattern..Good Luck and I wish you Pleasant Dreams Tonight...
