Taking Tylenol for withdrawals

by PainKillsMe, Nov 04, 2009 04:40PM
I took 2-500 mg tylenols yesterday and 2 today.  Also took a xanax last night around 10 p.m. to sleep and it took me until 2 a.m. to get to sleep.  Does anybody think that is a good idea and should I be taking Ibroprofen or maybe even aleve instead?  Or should I rotate the tylenol and ibuprofen every four hours.  I am feeling better today than yesterday and its day 2, but I am worried about sleeping tonight.  I have never had a problem getting addicted to xanax.  Hydroco is another thing though.

using benzos durning WD is very risky many people that have never had a problem with benzos before end up with a problem. Cross addiction happens frequently.It did not seem to help you very much to sleep anyway. I would stay away from it. Changing between tylenol and Motrin is a fine idea .good luck we are here to help.

Thanks so much.  I did take restoril last night and fell asleep at midnight after going to bed at 10 p.m.  I feel much better today but not fully recovered.  I am going take it easy again this morning and see how I feel after I take a morning nap.  thanks for all your help.

just as soon as you can get off the restoril OK? I took them years ago they are do help for sleep but just like everything else if you take them to long you wont be able to sleep without them .....You are doing great ,I am here if you need to talk
