Ode and SOS congrats on your decision to get clean and I admire your courage to begin this journey. Hot baths for the restless legs seem to work wonders for many.............as many as you need, ten a day if it helps or more. Bananas help this also cuz of the potassium. There are amino acids and vitamins that some people swear by, just to to the search bar at the top right of this page and type in Thomas Recipe, there are a few powedered shake mixes at GNC that have all the suggested aminos in them.
Walking helps the legs also. I have heard that advil pm works for some people better than tylenol pm. If you have clonidine or ativan it can help with sleep.
Hang in there and remember we have all lived through the flu and the physical part of this is much like that, it will pass.
All my support

Im on day and this morning i felt like **** i had anxiety the sweats the chills and i took a 2 hr nap i feel alot better now i had a headache but took a advil for it and i feel real good. I know its just the start and the storm is coming i can see the clouds moving in but i will do this no matter what. I hope you guys and gals will do it to. God bless.
yeah sleep would be great, REALLY hard to come by.
I'm finishing day 2 and havent slept since Thursday.
Good Luck.
my advice is to try to bge a few xanax or ativan to help wih the anxiety...just for the first 5-7 days, and something to help you sleep. exercise helps after that in small amts for the restless leg ****, and the energy level takes the longest to come back. Just keep pluggin away. I know how hard it is..if you want to go the herbal route valerian route is for anxiety (kind of like valium but natural) and melatonin. Immodium helps with diarreah
