Take the clonidine.  It is there for a use.  It is non addictive.  Your vision and hearing may be part of the anxiety caused by blood pressure variations.  It will help, I promise.

Be patient...most say 3-5 days for acute withdrawal symptoms.  Does not mean everything will be perfect.  You will still have energy problems, sleep problems, etc. for awhile.  Your brain is struggling to reset itself and it takes time.  It is remembering how to make the dopamine that it stopped making because the pills were doing all the work.  It takes several months for the brain to repopulate the brain.  You will see a gradual improvement every day, but not immediate.  Check out the most viewed health pages to the right of this post.  Foods that increase dopamine is a good one to read.  There are others that might be helpful as well.  Just keep moving when you can and rest when you need to.

You have probably been overdoing it.  Try and force yourself to go for a short walk then come back and relax on the couch.  It's okay to rest since you haven't had much sleep but remember the more we exercise the sooner our energy comes back.

thats the worst thing about detox is sleep and the last thing to go back to normal, if it is real bad maybe a dr. could prescribe you a sleep aid, but you should get a little more each night, my back hurts and keeps me up all night, but i dont have any medical back problems ugh

I will never leave this site after I get feeling better i will continue to help ppl on here! And I agree pat you have helped me in many ways the past few hours. I've had 6 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours.
I think I may take some NyQuil tonight to help me sleep. Is that a good idea?

It helps me alot to hear about other ppls problems and to help them with how I am feeling because I don't want any other person to feel this way! I would never wish this even on a person I hated the most.

Thanks sweety
I just know how scared I was when I found this forum and all the wonderful people that helped me through my many withdrawals.  It's nice to be able to pay it forward.  
I really do feel badly for everyone that has to go through this and I really care.  We all do and we never forget where we came from and where we could be.

You should really start to feel better soon if you are on Day 5 without any pills.  Try going for a walk and get some fresh air.  It will feel wonderful.
I bet it makes you feel a lot better.  Make sure you eat something too.  
It will help you sleep.
