Thanks for your sleep status update!! I'm clean 65 days, off sub 37 days and still dealing w/the insomnia issue. I, too, have vit, aminos, melatonin, benedryl, nothing much puts a dent in it. I am a sleeper....once I get there. Never in my whole life have I had trouble sleeping. I actually had a few "tired" feelings last night, but was still awake at 3:30 a.m. back up at 9am
Your post tells me my brain just isn't healed in the right spots just yet, ha!
Thanks again!
That is so encouraging weaver...because I am going through the same thing....the worst part is - i've NEVER (ie- even b4 my pill addiction) been a good sleeper...so this no-sleep thing is intimidating to me...anyway...glad to read this post
I started this post 20 days ago and am sleeping fine. I used OTC every three days to stay sane. I have slept great for the last week with nothing. I'm glad I didn't try to speed up the process, because my brain seems to be doing fine as long as I leave it alone. Thank everyone.
Bendzos? What the heck is that?
Anyway, be careful with getting prescribed a sleeping medication. It may help you sleep but it will also halt your natural sleep rythm so it is essentially a band aid and can become habit forming.
You are doing so good--keep on track and keep going forward!!
I agree. A short length of time on Bendzos might help get you back in your routine.
Agree 100%, you've come a long way!! That's one heck of an achievement, stay the course!
Yeah, thanks. Sometimes someone else has to say it for it sound right. It is catching up with me, but it's still better than any day of active addiction.
Hey there, Congrats on your clean time that is awesome!!! but I agree with you, don't go back on subs to help you sleep. I know you're trying to go all natural, but maybe talk to your doctor about a prescription for sleep meds to help you for a while. Just a suggestion, as it seems you've exhausted all the natural remedies out there and getting 3 hours is going to catch up with you if it hasn't already. Good luck to you.
