starting day 2

Day one wasn't too bad.  I know everything will digress from here.  I am taking clonidine and the amino acids with hopes that it will lessen the wd symptoms.  To everyone who is at the same stage lets keep fighting together and come out on the back side of this weekend feeling renewed.

The Clonodine seams to help quite a bit. I am still worn down but the RLS has not been a problem.  Also the other "side effects" I remember from last time seam to have lessened.  I would have to give the Clonodine a thumbs up however I am also taking the amino acids.  I did not want to take any chances this time.  Ronnie I have been using Ambien but if you don't know anyone with that Melatonin otc has been known to help some.  Thanks to all for the encouragement.  I also wish all struggling with this a smooth and peaceful day. Lets fight on until tomorrow.

How are you feeling with the Clonodine??  I will be quitting Sub soon and want to try Clonodine.  I heard it helps with the restless leg at night.  That was my biggest problem when I tried quitting before.
