Look everyone on here tells you there personal story and it's always good advice.. A lot of people who attend NA or AA say " don't replace one habit for another" (swapping drugs). Soma is a muscle relaxer it helps you sleep it is not an opiate!!! I took Xanax every 3 days or so at night to help with sleep just make sure you don't take the soma's that often I would only take it if you haven't slept in a couple days. I did that with Xanax and it got me here and I'm almost day 60 and I havnt taken a Xanax (benzo) in 4 weeks. I look at it if you can help minimize withdrawals for a bit to help you get through it is okay by me. Main thing is, not abusing another addictive drug with soma's are. That's why they say don't take it but you need to realize if you take that everyday for a few weeks you'll develope an addiction to that so all I'm saying is be smart you now know your an addict. Depending on what you took and how much for how long to determine if the way your feeling is permanent. I would say day 5 is way to early to say your done with w/d your just having a good day there will be bad days as well. Mental battle is down the road and people say that's the hardest part. Replacing your addiction for a hobby or something is important atleast it's what they say in NA. I think it will come back to hit you but you're getting close to a week so your progressing wait till day 21 that's when I think you can really tell a diffrence and everyday after that. Although I'm day 58 and still have issues (small ones). So hang in there don't take another sons for a day or 2 then if it's bad again take a half of one atleast until w/d ease up. A lot of people won't agree with me but I understand a sleep aid every now and again to help the w/d is okay. Take care

Glad you are doing good!!! I am on the struggle, I have had to take blue footballs to keep my anxiety under control. I know I'm adding fuel to fire, but this anxiety along with the withdrawl from the hydro, is about more then my stomach can bare. That's why i take the blues. Mist if the time just half if one two times a day. I have been moving like a 80 year old man and I am a 35 year old X- Athlete!! This is one of the toughest things I have ever been threw!  On the struggle,, but I'm glad your doing good!

Thank you kellygirll,I was just looking for a natural sleep aid. So that won't work for me then. I did try melatonin tonight for the first time....it's 4:15am. So it either didn't work or takes longer than 10 hrs to kick in. lol.

Good for you for feeling good, Just my opinion but taking somas, benzos, or whatever is not going to help you detox. You are just adding fuel to the fire, just be careful, the best way is to tough it out w/o more addictive meds. Just trying to help, not judge. Take care of yourself. XX C.

krissy soma is a muscle relaxer and you need a prescription for it

[Krissy_123]

Wow that's great to hear!! I know you were having a real hard time. I don't know what soma is though? Can you just get it at the pharmacy OTC? And it helps with sleep?

Soma is helpful for a lot of things but you will face withdrawal from soma as well.
