Day four is huge. You are doing well. Benadryl? Melatonin? They helped me to sleep.

[drmwvrjean]

you are doing so well!!  i know it is hard, but keep going!!  you should be very, very proud of yourself!!!  :)

[Kat8843]

tried both no help niquil helped a little but had to take 3tbsp not sure if that is a good idea.

doing good...keep going....how much melatonin did you take? it knocks me and my hubby out....i am hard to knock out and i was at the same dose as you approx.

I take 3 pills which are mcg on the melatonin and it works for me.... good luck!

Kat ,
hey hun. wow its already day four already !!!! Sleep will come soon .Try not taking anything thats what I had to do for awhile . Pretty soon you will have your first week under your belt ... keep it up.

Good going...sleep is an isse for many during detox..time heals all..hang in there...if it gets too bad..talk to your doctor and perhaps he can help u out...keep postingur

yeah, you're right in the middle of "no-sleep time".  The amino acids (see bottom right) helped quite a bit with me. 5-htp and melatonin and night seemed to help me.

btw, i was the same as you - 15-20 lortabs/day and went c/t 28 days ago. That first week sucked, but gets better every day.

you can do it!

Try asking your doctor for something...my doc gave me Clonidine and Librium and boy was I knocked out for 5 days straight...which actually helped me a lot to get through the w/d symptoms...7 days clean today and sleeping much better =)

Congrats...that is the exact amont i quit from after a very quiick and not good taper...I didn't sleep much either but your body will soon...For me RLS was the worst, and clonodine helped with that and sleep..But hang in there and you will make it...
