DOES NATURAL CALM REALLY HELP WITH VIC WITHDRAWLS?

[MartiniGirl]

Im on my 4th day going cold turkey from vicodin. Was taking up to 10-12 a day. For the first 3 nights, I took half of a xanax to help me sleep as the anxiety is the worst for me. I'm done with using those, and so I went and bought Natural Calm and Melatonin tablets (1mg) to help me sleep. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had success with either one of these. Sleeping is really hard as my body was so used to getting them at night. Thanks!

thanks for the reply. I took xanax cause it really took the edge off, but only at night. I would just deal with the anxiety during the day, even if it meant constantly sobbing. I dont have any more, so I hope this works. I definetely feel a difference with the anxiety as Im nearing the end of my 4th day. I hope I can stick this out.  Thanks!

I have had wonderful success with melatonin. I still use it frequently. When I was in w/d, I took about 9mg each night. After the 2nd or 3rd week I was able to cut back to 3mg. I now only take about 1.5mg. Natural Calm with calcium is good to help the muscles relax. You should be taking this at night and your body needs this regardless if it helps with sleep.
