just wondering...

ok, today is day 6 for me w/o any morphine.  two night ago was one of the best nights i've had this week, so i thought the next one would be even better, it wasn't. couldn't lay still. does anyone know how long this one step foward, two steps back feeling lasts. i have NO interest to use opiates, none at all. but i'd like to sleep more than a couple hours. already use benedryl, just makes my mind sooooooooo tired, but my body didn't wanna cooperate. any OTC remedies?

benadryl made you real tired but coldnt sleep? Did you take it right before you went to bed or earlier? thats great day 6 just keep going like OC said. Benadryl worked great on me when I took it. Really helped me sleep and its OTC. Just take it right when you're going to sleep and when you finally get a few good days of sleep you wont need it anymore. Few more days and you'll be feeling so much better. DONT look back at this point, you've gone to far helping yourself just keep moving forward.
