Congrats on making day three man.  The work day will be over soon and you can go home and try to relax.  I wasn't aware of the Hylands Restless Legs stuff when I went through wd's but lots of folks on here recommend it.  It definitely seems worth trying.  Might help you sleep and or relax etc.

Keep pushing man.  Each minute gone is one less minute of withdrawals.

Hey there I'm on day 8 of cold turkey withdrawls.  I also want to cave after the first few days but I just kept pressing on and by day 4 I felt significantly better.  I still have the Rls on day 8...they aren't as bad but still there.  Try taking a long walk before bed and when you get home rub some icyhot or bengay on your legs (it feels amazing), try taking some melatonin and hopefully you will get some rest.  You can do this!

Have you tried Hyland's Restful Legs?  I read about it on here and bought it at CVS pharmacy.  It is homeopathic and when I did have a night with the leg thing going on, I opened the bottle and tried them, and I sware they worked.

Soma and flexeril are boyh muscle relaxers. They should help you relax and sleep, especially if you have the restless legs at night. Hang in there.

Been there. It's tough but you can do it.  When you're in the middle if it 10 days seems like a year. But it's a small price to pay for all the high times. Good luck!

The third or fourth day is almost always the worst and then things get noticeably better each day.  The fifth and sixth are better then 7th and 8th better still and by the 11th, 12th 13th you may not be feeling any physical wd's at all.  Getting a good nights sleep seems to be about the last thing to return to normal.

Having to work while going through the wd's is tough but doable.  I'm talking from experience.  It ***** but it goes by.  Sometimes actually being busy helps.  If people ask what's wrong tell them you're sick.

Thank you. i need all the hepl i can get. 2.5 days done and a lifetime of freedom after. the chills and the no sleep *****. What is going to be the worst day i think it is the third. i pray it is not the fourth. I have to work 13 hours that day with the public and I canot call out or I would. Right now I wish i could time travle for a week ahead. Thank you for everyones help.

Hey man, you can do this.  Another few days and you'll be feeling a lot better.  The feeling scared etc. is just the addiction, it'll be gone in a few more days.  

By Friday you'll be feeling a lot better and by the Friday after that your physical withdrawals will be gone.  

Take some benadryl or nyquil at night, it helps a little.  

The thing to keep in mind is that every minute you get through means one minute less of wd's to deal with.  Just push through it.  If you slip up now you'll just have to start all over again and redo the two crappy days you just went through.
