The hylands stuff doesn't really work either I got a solid 6 hours sleep last night on my own without anything and today being day 10 I don't think I have much longer to go to get through the night. :)
Sorry, I just saw your comment @ already trying the melatonin...maybe the Calm Forte might work..try what you can..
Have you tried Melatonin?.. It really works & you can get it @ the drugstore with the other herbs..I take one @ night & it knocks me right out & I'm not groggy in the morning. Also, Hyland's "Calm Forte" is a homeopathic tablet that helps you to rest. Good Luck!
The Benadryl worked last night got 8 hours of sleep finally. Feel a little grogy this morning but that's worth it. I just can't wait untill the day me and my pillow can spend the night together all on my own lol. And te other problem went away to ;)
Completely normal man! I would be exhausted and then come bed time I couldn't sleep if my life depended on it. I would lay tossing and turning and then my mind would start spinning. It was bad. It took about four weeks till I slept normal. I was taking a LOT of crap though for about three years.
Give it time. 8 days is awesome and you got through the worst of it. Hit me up if you need to talk.
I know time will return to normal eventually and I'm not expecting it over night but I find it strange how I physically feel 100% but yet when the sun sets my body completely transforms and has a mind of its own. I literally can't hold my eyes open but yet I never fall asleep. I've tried melatonin and every night it works less and less I've tried alterail Benadryl and everything else. Nothing works lol my body hates it. I know better from my mistake in life and ill never put my self back in this predicament.
Congrats on 8 DAYS!! Can I be direct, and tell you that you are expecting too much too soon?
Using opiates definitely affects our hormone production, muscle tone, etc.
Give your body/brain/organs time to heal....and they will begin to produce testosterone naturally once again.
Sleep will come, too. You can try melatonin, sublingual dissolves under your tongue, for sleep. Or Alteril....they are both natural. In the health pages under amino acid protocol....there are suggestions on how to take melatonin....while detoxing from opiates.
I know at your young age that you feel you should bounce back, like, NOW but please just give yourself some time (the gag word) (and longer than 8 days) to heal and for your hormone levels to re-adjust....cause they WILL.....promise~
I'm fine with out them don't think about them or anything. I'm 100% mentally no nothing going on with me just those two problems. It's like the will is there and it eventually comes up but doesn't stay up lol soooo awkward to talk about lol. And the sleep I think I'm just phsycing my self out. I think I can't sleep so I don't cause I'm genually tired but idk I'm gonna try not taking anything tonight and try falling asleep all natural
I guess the ole dreaded word. TIME. Give it time.
How are you doing about staying clean?
Hey. Great job on clean time.
When I quit my sex drive went crazy. I didn't have any problems but again everyone is different. I've heard others tell me they were repulsed at the thought of sex. How was it on the percs.
For me I couldn't do anything hardly while using
