Meant to say I'm NOT doing so well

I dont know if I can do this. I haven't slept in 2 days, my mind is a crazy mess. I'm thinking about drugs every minute. Someone please give me some advice! I was thinking about going to the er and telling them what's going on...but I have no clue what they'll do or even if they're lock me up! Help!

I gather you aren't taking any amino acid supplements?

If you have any green or black tea,  brew up a strong pot and drink lots of that. It is the natural source of Thiamine, which acts like a natural Valium and relaxes you.

Take a Calcium and magnesium vitamin supplement at night, along with the tea or theamine supplement. It will help calm and relax you

Truthfully, I didn't sleep for 2 days and I started to lose it.  I tried every over the counter med/herb/supplement under the sun ... and nothing.  Wide awake.

I called my doc for an Ambien prescription.  

I can't tell you how much my attitude/outlook improved after getting sleep.

You can absolutely do this...u've made it this far and what happens when u use again? U'll have to put yourself through all this again. I've been clean for 72 hrs and it's rough. I have a runny nose(stopped up nose), eyes watering, coughin, achy and have trouble sleepin. It feel like my skin is extra sensitive and my whole body feels like I have to get up and move at night...tortures me! Are u taking any vitamins?

Take some deep breaths. What are you w/ding from? When was the last time you used? Is there anyone there with you? Sleeplessness is common wirh opiates, and so is chaotic thinking...but tell us more so we can get a better idea of where you're at.
ER would help, not hurt you.
