I cant sleep!!! Any Ideas?

[Penelope14]

I,ve been off methadone for a little over a month now & all of the withdrawals are gone but I cant sleep, I might be getting 1 hour in per night mixed in with some rem, but thats about it, & its so agrivating! My mind keeps going & going & I dont know how much more I can take, also can a person get sick from this? Im starting to worry that I may colapse somewhere from sleep deprivation. I,ve tried melatonin & even mediation, warm baths, nytol, you name it, Ive tried just about everything to end up no where, any ideas or recomondations? Also how long does this last? Thanks Penelope

valium with melatonin 5mg val, 6mg melatonin. Use it for about 6-10 days max lowest dose to get sleep patterns in check. Gotta retrain your mind for sleep. I had to as well. Valium is the weakest of the xanax, klonopin etc. Trazadone workd very well to and least addictive but can be a but groggy at first in morning. 10mg of valium is about 1mg ativan comparable so 5 is very little and wont or shouldt cause you issue very short term. I would steer clear of ambien.

I Truly understand not being able to sleep,its a torture.Why not try a more powerful sleeping medication,something prescribed at least for a couple ofr weeks. john

Hey girl,I missed ya over the weekend.I still have trouble with sleep now and then and even when I do get sleep I haven't passed the 5 hour mark yet.What type of melatonin do you have?I had the regular pills but then I think nauty posted something about the sublingual ones and they work alot better for me.I've seen some people say to take benadryl.I know how frustrating the no sleep thing can be.I just keep hanging in there for that first full 8 hour sleep.Hang in there.Peace.

Not sure how long it lasts, it differes for everyone, you names a lot, but what about valerian root, or possible getting a script if you must, just be careful if you do!! Wishing you some good good sleep!!
