My god I need energy an SLEEP!!!

Hello All,

I hate to ask the same questions over and over but my god when will I sleep at least 3 hours in a row???  I made it 2 last night, but that was followed by hardly anything after.  I can hardly keep my eyes open at times.  Can anyone help.  Im in day 10, exactly 12 hours into day 10 to be exact.  I hope there is something that can be done here.

Thank you for listening,

Mark

Hang in there 10 days is awsome!! Your sleep and energy will come back I promise. Stay positive and keep in mind that nothing happens over nite. Your body has to adjust. Each day will get better and better.... Big Hugz

Thnks, as I move arround I seem to find energy, but not much. Im going to start exercising again,**** I have to. Im a gym rat and I cant even get my *** off the couch after  I get my kids on the bus! Sux, but ill get thru.  Im into day 10 so it has to start getting a bit better every day, or at least I hope it does!

I also use a sleep aid that I got from my doctor. There are several but I use amitriptyline and trazadone. I still find that once I wake up there is no getting to sleep but I am getting between 4 and 6 hours.  When I was first in wd it was bad, even with the meds, but it does get better.

hi.. sleeping good was the worst part of wding....you are not alone...i thought i was going to lose my mind cos you feel so awful....i used melatonin and a grocery store sleep aid for about 2 months....after that sleep came naturally.....everyone is different but you will get back to normal.....it just takes time so hang in there and congrats on 10 days...keep fighting and i hope you sleep well soon....maria

Sleeping was never the hard part for me. I ALWAYS wanted to sleep. I just never wanted to get off of the couch or help out with my kids at all. I just backed away from everyone during the day, I looked forward to the night time so I could just collapse into bed.

Hang in there. Things will get better, :-)
