#7 day

[do_it_to_it]

Well i am on day 7. I feel pretty good now except for not sleeping. I tried several different things to try and sleep. All have been otc sleep aids and have not been succesful. Will xanax help with sleeping? I have taken xanax before and i remember sleeping for 12+ hours.But that was before i ever took a pain pill. So i didnt have problems sleeping then. My doc wrote me a script for them but before i waste money on more useless pills i was just wondering if it is worth it. I dont care if i only sleep for 6 hours or, Anything has to be better then none. My eyes are so black right now from lack of sleep. geez i look like a drug addict!lol

Avoid the xanax if you can... you are doing great and lack of sleep is something we have to go through. It takes some time for our bodies to get normal, give yourself the time without addicting aids. I know it is hard but try some relaxing tips like going for a walk, taking a hot bath, maybe some melatonin + valerian root ( they are not addicting ) or other non addicting remedies... your sleep will come back, slowly but it will come back... Congrats on your clean week !! :)

I have always found xanax helpful for sleep. Just be careful because it is addictive, and has a high potential for abuse. The best thing Ive found thats non narcotic is amytriptaline. I doesnt get you high, but when you turn off the tv and close your eyes, you will go to sleep.
