How long until insomnia goes away (Tab Withdrawal)

[tryingtochange]

Day 6 and still fighting.  Some symptoms are better and others are still there!  I still have anxiety and a hot burning feeling in my upper body and scalp/hair!  I think my insomnia hit its peak last night as I don't think I dosed off at all!!  When does the sleep problem start to go back to normal for most?  I was only taking 3-4 10/500 a day but it was for 3 years!!  I'm just ready for this to be over.

Day 10 and feeling even better!!!!!!!!!!  Every day I feel a little better,  this morning was a little rough but much better this afternoon!!!!!  I just need sleep so badly and i'm not gonna take anything Rx!!  I tried benedryl two nights ago and it helped a little I think I got three hours of sleep or so!  But then felt hung over the next day.  I have some valerian root and think I may try it tonight but I don't know.  Just wish sleep would come back already!  Other that that everything is all good:-)  To anyone else going through withdrawals right now it does get better I promise!!!!!!!!!!!

Congradulations!  You almost have this thing beat.....The sleep thing is kind of funny, it comes back quickly for some but slower for others.  I am about 70 days off of methadone and about a month off of any kind of opiate.  I am definetly sleeping better but no where near normal yet.  I use Benadryl and I also use melatonin.  Melatonin is excellent in combination with the valerarian root and also acts as an antioxident that helps purge your system of the remaining toxins and bi-products of your opiate use.  Starting out years ago I started out taking about as much hydro as you were using and you should be about done with the physical affects.  Where you will need to really fight is in about a month when you have long forgotten the misery you went through and that is when a craving will sneak up on you.  This is where aftercare comes in handy!  Keep this in mind.....every time you relapse and then try and quit it becomes increasingly worse.....Each time I detoxed it became worse and worse.  This is the time to jump off and stay off.  I by no means ever was as bad as some on here but if I could have jumped off years ago when my habbit was manageable, I would have saved a lot of undo torture.  Like I said I have a little bit of time now and I still have symptoms.....Good luck!

The sleep thing is a continuing aggrevation for sure. Thats great. It seems like there's been a wave of people coming in the past few days in their 3rd,4th, or 5th day saying they are totally despondent and see no end in sight.

Hopefully they will catch up to your thread and see that if they just hang on a few more days, they will start to see thing change for the better..I'm happy for you :)

DAY 11 and even better!!  Feeling great, still could not really sleep with melatonin, valerian root, and rose hips!!!  It made me sleepy but I just kept dosing and waking all night till about 3am  then it was just awake lol.  I know it's getting better though.  Yesterday I actually went out to eat at outback steakhouse with my wife and son for dinner which is great cause my anxiety has been making me not want to leave the house. But everything is getting better every day!!!  I think the worst part about it at this point is the no sleep.  I think people confuse depression and anxiety and stress with just not being able to sleep. No sleep takes a huge toll on the body and mind!  But I keep faith in God and keep praying and I know things will be perfect soon!!

I still just want to SLEEP!!!!  I wish it would hurry up and come back to me!!
