melatonin is natural and perfectly safe.  if it doesn't help, you might go to the health food store and get some kava kava, also a natural relaxer, and non-adictive.

Thank You... Was just unaware of this, I never even heard of this pill before i came here...
Gonna take it tonight and pray to God and maybe then i can finally sleep again.

Thanks Alot

Hey hopeless,I'm right with ya at day 10,and have been taking Melatonin a
few of the nights that I was going nuts with insomnia and tremors.The 3mg,
I have also,but the bottle warns not to take more than 3mg in a 24hr. period.
It may help somepeople,but it wasn't strong enough to make me sleep or
relax at all,but it may help you.Your body or brain makes that stuff naturally,
I think,so don't worry about taking it. Either it will help you sleep or not,but I've
never heard of anyone having any side effects from it.I needed Xanax or Valium
just to get a nights sleep after being up for 7days straight.Thank God for Valium,not that I've been looking to take any more damn pills,but it's been a
Godsend to me for the past few days.Your bdy needs REM Sleep to heal it-
self from your withdrawls,so if you have to,go get a script from your regular
Dr. if at all possible.Mine only gave me 7 pills,and was deathly afraid to take
the Valium at first,because I have in the past,had bad reactions from taking
different meds. I just took a quarter of the pill and waited about a half hour,with
no bad reactions,so I kept taking a little more every so often,until the whole 5mg pill was gone,then laid down,and slept for most of the night.Got up in the
morning with the withdrawls starting up again,but at least I got some sleep.
Try the Benzo's hopeless,if you really need them,it sure was a lifesaver for me.
Good Luck and stay full of hope,hopeless.

Thanks for the advice...
Hey what is the Benzo's?
Sorry is it over the counter stuff?

Hopeless

Sorry L's,Benzo's I think,are like Xanax and Alprazelam,which are the same
drug,I'm amost certain.Unfortuneately,if you can''t find them on the street or
from a friend,you'll need a script.It took me like almost a good week to get
my Dr. to give me some,which was horrible,since like I said before,I went thru
the worst parts of my withdrawls without them.The generic name for Valium
is Diazepam,which for me,worked better than the Xanax.I'd highly recommend
anyone starting or into bad withdrawls with the classic signs of insomnia and
tremors,to get a strong sleep aid.It may be a lifesaver.I still can't beleive I
went a full week with no sleep,but the nightmares almost over,Thank God.
Good Luck L's,and I hope you can get your hands on some sleep aids.The
OTC stuff,just didn't cut it for me,even popping 6 or more at a time,but just
one Xanax or Valium should cure your insomnia and stress for a few hours
at the least.Peace.

be thankful it was only a week.  try 25 nights of only 2 or 3 hrs fitful sleep.  that's my story, and that's with prescription sleep aids.

i also took it..i took one about 8 or so then 1/4 right before i laid down..sometimes it worked..sometimes not..but i would at least get a few hrs of sleep. it does relax you alot. and yes it herbal so no chemical stuff.
hope it works for ya and you can sleep

Hey Lucy,just when people think they have it pretty bad,someone comes
along,as yourself did,and makes you think you aren't that bad off.This forum
shouldn't be about who has it worse off than others,just for support and help
to get through times of need. I've never judged anyone and will continue to help
anyone that I can.I do feel bad that you are going through this sleep problem
thing,really.I did go through hell,and am still not out of the woods yet,as I'm
really in deep with a serious oxy addiction now even though I'm well on my way
from the bad Methadone withdrawl symptoms.I know the oxy is just masking
the Meth withdrawls,but am still really scared,along with most people on here.
It's hard not to offend people when your scared,angry,and irritable form lack
of sleep or just plain feeling like **** from the withdrawls of one's DOC.
Please don't take anything people say personally,most of us are seriously just
trying to help and get desperate help ourselves.

not offended.  i don't offend easily and my reason for being here is to help, not hurt.  I want something positive to come out of this.  I must admit, I'm a little cranky,no sleep and all.  sorry if  I offended anyone.  not my style.  I just want to help and hate for anyone else to get hooked on methadone.  it is such wicked stuff.  should only be prescribed for terminally ill folks, in my opinion.

Lucy
