When I have taken Unisom, my experience is you do wake up pretty foggy.
With melatonin, if you dont take too much, you wake up feeling pretty restful. I think all sleep aids- natural or not- have a risk of making you feel drunk in the morning.
Valerian is really good for sleeping as well.
how do you feel the next day after taking these sleep aids? Is it refreshing sleep or is like a druken sleep, you know when you come home from a bar and the bed is spinning, LOL that *****
Or you could take Melatonin, its a naturally occurring hormone found in the brain, and it works like a charm, every time.
And the up side is that its not a drug.
keep your head up man..i have the same problem with doing it one day and then not the next...except that i do have wd symptoms...it is a horrible thing to live this way...i am going to the doctor on monday to get prescribed saboxone...also i think that people forget why they started using pain meds...if it is related to an injury then that is a whole other situation but if it is related to a trauma or something like that i believe that if you find out what is causing you to be addicted, it will be eaiser to quit. luckly and unluckily for me i do know why i take pain meds...so finally facing my problems that made me do this stupid **** in the first place may make me a whole person again...stay strong everyone...peace
Hey, I'm so glad u found something that works. I couldn't find anything that would knock me out for more than an hour or two when I'm goin' through withdrawals. Even perscripted sleepin aids, like Restoril. Never used Unisom though. I will definitely try it next time. How are u doing? What day are you on. I'm still taking 2 pills one day then going about 2 or 3 days without then 2 or 3 pills one day then 1 or 2 days without. Not havin' withdrawals this way, other than craving a pill. One day I'll get over it. Hopefully. :( Reply back k? Take care and god bless, Lil. :)
