Bedtime

[Ses11869]

Getting ready to go to bed, hopefully tonight's the night I get some sleep, the insomnia has got to end soon right?

[Sonrissa]

NyQuil has a new sleep aid out called Zzzzquill! That seems to work pretty good for me. It's liquid and is absorbed better, at least for me. You might try it! Try not to stress!

I took melatonin last night with my lunesta and still didn't sleep

And theres no hang over the next day like with other sleep aids

[pillpopperhell]

Have you heard of melatonin?  Is a natural sleep aid.  I tried it last night.  I actually slept ok.  I haven't slept more than an hour since I began the detox so I was feeling pretty crazy........

Sleep will come. Just be patient. Everyday u are one day closer to getting back to normal.  

I'm only on day 4 but found that getting some kind of exercise during the day even walking helps me to sleep some

I really understand where you are at! Not sleeping for me was the worst thing of withdrawals! One night I played Pharmacist, and took all kinds of OTC stuff! I DO NOT, recommend you try that as it did not work and make me sick! You really need to try and not stress over it! Take something like Melatonin or Alteril about 30 minutes before bed! Make sure your bedroom is dark and cold. Lie down, and relax! Let your mind go to a happy place! When I stopped stressing, the sleep came! I started getting about 2 hours at a time, and it went up from there! I also have had sleep problems my whole life. I still have occasional issues! It will get better, Ses, I promise! Take care, you are doing great!

The problem is I suffered from insomnia prior to my detox, I've been on ambien/lunesta for years, now it's worse from the detox, haven't slept more than 3 hrs in the last 10 nights, last night I took a lunesta with a couple of melatonin slept from 400 to about 530. Other than feeling run down from lack of sleep I feel ok, just wish I could get some sleep

I would get some meletonin or something, I started on Benadryl and then I had to have my hubby get me a sleep aid, but now on day two of no sleep aid and slept 8 hrs. are you taking naps during the day?

[Ses11869]

Slept about 2 hours, it's really starting to wear me down, on a positive note I've reached double digits today is day 10

[Missshawn]

I hope you slept .. Benadryl was my only way of sleeping at 1st. Then when my strength came back., I just did a lot before bed

[luvabugga]

Hope you got some sleep.  I really didn't again...and it's really frustrating!
