Try asking your doctor for something...my doc gave me Clonidine and Librium and boy was I knocked out for 5 days straight...which actually helped me a lot to get through the w/d symptoms...7 days clean today and sleeping much better =)

yeah, you're right in the middle of "no-sleep time".  The amino acids (see bottom right) helped quite a bit with me. 5-htp and melatonin and night seemed to help me.

btw, i was the same as you - 15-20 lortabs/day and went c/t 28 days ago. That first week sucked, but gets better every day.

you can do it!

Day four is huge. You are doing well. Benadryl? Melatonin? They helped me to sleep.
