aaawwwhhh sweetie...sorry you can't sleep.

guess you don't know about me...hehe.   i am not an addict...the mother of three...so i'm not the one to ask about that...wish i could help.

4:30?  what state do you live in?

how many clean days do you have?   ok...i'm going to give this a shot BUT do not quote me...lol.   i think from what i have read that RLS is a huge part of the w/d process.   i also think, if i am correct, that PAWS doesn't kick in til much later.   hope someone else will either tell you i'm right...hehe...or to shut up...that i don't know what i am talking about...lol

i have rls bad myself...had it my whole life.   when my legs are so bad...i wait til i'm so sleepy that i can't hold my eyes open...soak in the hottest bath that i can stand...and dive into bed right quick while the heat of the water is still helping.

huggs,

there is a member here named avis...i can't remember exactly what it was...but...she recommended a couple of supplements for your symptoms.   you might want to start a post to her and see if she can help.

i have found through the years that "inactivity" causes my restless legs to be worse.   the more active i am...the less my legs hurt.   something to try !?!?

Hi,
I'm day 25, and I ended up taking Avis's advice and started taking L-Tyrosine (an amino acid).  She also takes 5-htp (which is supposed to "compliment" the Tyrosine, but I don't take it b/c  it  is contraindicated for use with anti-depressants (which I take). I also take 1000mg. of C and  B Complex (100's). Both are recommended on a addiction recovery site by natural medicine experts. Also recommended at that site was another amino--L-Theanine, which a friend brought over yesterday for me. I'm going to start taking them today. You can buy all of these at a vitamin or natural food store.

I too, am suffering from a significant amt. of anxiety, so I'm trying everything I can. Day #15 is fantastic. You're doing an amazing job!!!  Best of luck to you.

Warmest Regards,

--Athena

PS. I went to rehab a few years ago and learned that there are some statistics that show people who take aminos during their first year of recovery had higher rates of success (those who didn't take them tended to relapse). Don't know how accurate that info is, but it motivated me!!

My first week I went to the health food store and bought over $400 in vit, herb, minerals when they told me to take them with my meal my husband and I laughed because they were bigger than my meals.  I did get the l ty...... I pulled back from it a little though because it seemed to bring on a little anxiety.  Not sure that was it though - on line someone said to take 1000mg and 5000mg  is suggested on the bottle.

Yes, have heard reports of it causing anxiety instead of helping...that's just WRONG! lol! ANyway, I take 500 daily.

That's hilarious about the pills and the gal telling you to take them w/food lol!...not to mention most of us can't eat much in the beginning of w/d!

Hope you do find some relief,
