Only 16 hrs CT & this *****!

[AloneAndAddicted]

Ok guys I'm 16 hrs into my CT and feeling ******....can't focus, legs are crawling, stomach is turning and I'm grumpy as hell!  None of this is a surprise but it still ***** just the same!  I don't know what is worse right now the legs or the head!  Thank God I have no access is all I can say.....THANX for letting me vent!

Benedryl can make the RLS worse...get in a warm bath and soak for awhile.  Eat bananas also as they are high in potassium.  Keep drinking fluids.  You cn do this!!

be careful with the benadryl it can cause nervousness and anxiety. just saying.....

Thx Gnarly.....hate counting minutes but I'm proud of every one of them!  The highlands RL isn't working yet....or maybe it is!  Anyway thx so much y'all are a godsend and away to keep me positive & distracted.  My husband said "you getting sick because your never cold?" when I just turned the air up lol. if he only knew!  Boy does this suck....I took 2 benadryl & a flexeril along with all the supplements and don't even feel like sitting nevermind sleep!  I knew better.....1st time shame on my Dr.....2nd time shame on me.  I feel like I'm getting what I deserve!

HI  welcome to the forum ......congrats on 16hr the first few days are the hardest if it makes any difference to youy your now in acute withdrawal and the symptoms shouoldent get much worst but they do get old quick especially qwith no sleep it just seams worst .....this is all about attitude and a positive attitude goes a long way....you may have to reach deep down to find it but it worth the effort it means the difference between suffering and discomfort....this is 1/3 physical and 2/3 mental be ready to fight it out on both fronts ....I truly believe this is a battle one or lost in ones own mind remember to force the fluids and take a hot soak for the rest of the symptoms.....chances are your not going to sleep tonight if you got a chance get to the video store and rent some funny movies it will keep you bizzy all night and take your mind off how awful you feel ....I tell this to everyone starting out.....'''you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile'' it will serve you well as you go threw this keep in mind the symptoms are only temporary and you will make it threw this its kinda like having the flu with restless legs and anxiety the hingleands restful legs help me I took 3 an hr it homeopathic so you cant O/D on the stuff and it will settle your legs and arms you can get it at walmart or wagreens in the herbal dept for now keep posting for support we all want to see you succeed im up late 10 to 12 mountian time if you need to talk hang in ther ....good luck and God bless......Gnarly

Thx for replying guys!  I took the hylands/ mag/k+/ multivit/b complex.  Forgot anything for mood.....my poor family!  In tears right now...it's my 6 yr anniversary & my husband implied what he wants!......not a chance poor qui but I can't sit for a min never mind go to bed right now!  LOL. I think I really need the valerian root or something else for mood and anxiety cause I also quit Cymbalta & Ambien......groan!  Thx for listening!

[atthebeach]

hey hun. deep breathes. did you take the hylands and magnesium? take an advil,extra strenth tylenol for your head. try to relax. getting upset and more stressed out is worse.
take the valerian root. take the immodium. pray,pray
