Aa
night
Man o Man I have this horrible dread of the night now when it comes. No sleep horible rls. Oh but I dread the day too so I guess I am in a bind for awhile. EEEWWWHHHHIIINNNEEEE
Mike;
You're whining like a run over dog! This is the stuff we need to remember. Put this in that "selective memory" of yours, and I will also keep it in mine. I really do feel for you. Nobody really understands this unless it happens to them, just like anything else in life. You do know that it's almost over, so stay with the program. I sure hope I don't have to eat these words. This is for myself as well. If I tell you you must do something, then I too must not fail to do the same.
Kim, you are bad! I'd like to tell your husband on you.

Nights are better for me now, but they were like this never ending nightmare!! My legs would hurt soooo bad that I just wanted to cut them off and my arms too. It made it even worse because everyone else was sleeping away and that just pissed me right off!! LOL!! Anyway with time it has gotten better and I've learned, even now, to take a walk around 10 or 11 and then come in and get into a hot bath with some Epsom Salt. It relaxes me and helps me to drift off. I'm over 30 days clean and I still wake up over and over during the night, but with each passing day I do get a little more sleep than before. I will keep you in my prayers and just hang tough!! I know you can make this work because if I did anyone can!! LOL!!
Ah, the dreaded nights....I know them well. I'm a night person by nature, but nights have been hell for me ever since withdrawling. They are horrendous even now....that awful anxiety, heart racing, claustrophobic kinda feeling. I still have that feeling in the days too, especially the past three weeks, but it's hella bad at night, without adequate distractions. Don't know what to say, but I'm feelin' the same.
yeah sad my arms to mainly left hand and left leg make ke wanna punch holes in the walls.
I am trying to keep this in mind so I can and will remember. Selective memory is something I do well obviously. LOL
Mike, I can certainly understand.
Nights were the worst. I wanted to just tear my arms and legs right off.
I would rub in Ben-Gay and wrap my legs in ace bandages.
But, I didn't believe it ever would, but it does go away.
Took about three weeks for me, but I was on the vic's for about 10 years.
Just think of every pain as the drugs fighting their way out of your body.
It's also a pretty good reminder that you may not EVER want to go thru that again.

I used to like the nights too..A long time ago now..but now i dread them..sooo i am usually on this site trying to remember why i'm doing this..and just keeping busy..I am so very thankful for not having rls..i did many times before.I don't know why i didn't this time..but i won't look that gift horse in the mouth..no way..and it used to be my arms too..that sux!....and thanks Mike..i need them too..xo
When u cant sleep///get up and do something else for a while so u dont associate the bed with sleeplessness...take a hot bath...read or something and try again later...good luck and thinking of u
I hear ya,I still dread the night sometimes.Sleep is better then it was,but nowhere near what I would like for it to be.I remember when I used to love the peaceful silence at night,everyone asleep safe in their beds.Now some nights I want to break out the pots and pans and wake them all up.My husband snores but sometimes when I'm going stir crazy being up alone,even if he's not snoring I'll shake him and tell him he is just so I have someone to be up with me for a little while.lol Hang in there.Peace.
thanks for the suggestions I will becasue I sure don't want to go back to using right now at all.
Try listing to some music and hot baths to settle you down. You are coming off a strong med. It will be easier in time. But you will have to keep fighting and dig deep for the strength.
I'm sorry Mike..I wish you were feeling better..it is going to happen!!!! I am praying for you all the way!
