Thanks for all of your input. I think I might try the dramamine or some ginger tea. I am reluctant to use the sleep aids you suggested because i dont hear real good things about them........if anything i will try the melatonin or tylenol pm or even nyquil. they always worked well for me as long as i did not have opiates in my system....kind of weird. Thanks for all your suggestions and taking the time to post to me. It means a lot to me.......thanks.
Luv,

I know, I am very nosey, reading other people's post. But I agree with Lotsatrout you are all so super !
Love ya all , Nosey Mary, lol
Ga Guy.... You're alright in my book my friend. You really take the time to post specifics along with Fladdict and a lot of the others. It is nice to see your posts. I could say the same thing about so many others it's just that I happened to read this reply.

Hey Nauty..I know you didn't pose this to me..but, I am so sorry you're having such a rough go at things. I don't know what your monetary situation is..but, if sleep is a major concern, and you're getting wary of the valium (which I understand..it scares me too)..then you could get a doc to prescribe a sleeping pill for the next week or so. I use Ambien CR occasionally and it works well for me. The other 2 big ones are Lunesta and Rozerem. They are all expensive, but every one of them have free 7 day trial certificates on their websites. Maybe alternate between them? Rozerem is a melatonin derivative and is supposedly non addictive. Just a thought. I found that my sleep improved dramatically after a couple of weeks..so, if you can get some sleep until then, you may improve very quickly. Like FLaddict said..Dramimine can help with the nausea. It's an antihistamine..so, it may help with sleep, too. I also use flax seed oil..tastes terrible, but it's does great things for you. I noticed that my skin wasn't nearly as dry after taking it. Anyway, just wanted to give you some suggestions. The only thing I can truly offer is prayers, and you're in mine. God bless..may God speed your recovery. You deserve a quick detox just for being so great at your taper..

Hey honey, yes i would for sure get a different valarian. I always bought the liquid extract kind and put it in some tea to help hide the taste. For nausea, I think some of the Otc motion sickness stuff should help. I used phenergan when I detoxed but that is prescription.
I am glad you have support. Its very much needed in this stage of the game. I am running out to do errands but will be back later.
