The insomnia is the most difficult part as it plays tricks on our minds. I took Nyquil for the first week as I was already on valuim. Pushing your body to limits and hot baths are helpful. I downloaded relaxation meditations to my MP3 player and programed my mind to listen and relax. The more I say, "I can't sleep," the worse it is to fall asleep. Don't give up on trying to sleep in frustration though. There is an over the counter med called Simply Sleep by tylenol but it does not have tylenol in it. Just the benydryl. Try just 1 and then another 1 an hour later if it doesnt work. Best of luck.

Try Valium! The only thing that worked for me!
Also, ask your doctor for catapress. It is for help going thru withdrawals.
Good Luck! I get muscle spasms thru my whole body....that is what keeps me up all night! Twitches are the worst!!!

Don't take anymore ambien or benzos . Exercise.  Trazadone is o.k if you arent able to sleep.
