solid opiate use for, I don't know, a few years. Cost me my job, came clean with my family, moved back to my parents to try and get better. just looking for some support, if anyone wants to talk.

Don't. Get xanax.  If you were addicted to opiates you'll just get addicted to the Xanax.  And that's a bear to get off.  I've had to go thru withdrawal from benzos twice.  It sucked and that's some major anxiety. I thought I was losing my mind.  Try Celestial Seasons Sleepy Time Wellness tea. It's got some herbs that help you relax..  If you can't sleep take a Tylenol pm, there are not addictive.

Timmy, you were on opiates for a few years so it will take time to get off, i know as addicts we want immediate results but that is not the case.  It is a process to get off the opiates and it takes time for our brains to function normally, but the good news it can be done.  I would not trade an opiate for a benzo and i would stick to "natural' remedies. Rest/sleep is going to be few and far between for a few weeks but in time it will all come back.  Stay positive and just take it day by day or hour by hour if need be.

Am I going to need to get my hands on my xanex script? Feels like i'll never get any rest without it, or am I just filling my head with ways I can use something else?
