53 hours in and doing ok till now ,WOW all of a sudden ,i was up too 5-6 pills a day 30ml each and everyone says the 3rd 4th day it gets better this feeling of hopelessness is for the birds. Have family support behind me and know i can i just asked my wife to get the rest of the pills that i have stashed all over the house and flush flush flush , there are so many everywhere omg,anyway feeling like crap right now and very hopeless.......
Hey guys thanx for the support. Im still at work about to finish some paperwork and im doing ok today still have to sleep but no downward depressing feelings today. Yest. i left work i was beat as of the first day back ,but when i got home my kids wanted to go to the carnival next town over at first i made the face but then i realized these kids really havent had anything to do with me in a week. So off we went had a great time i was able to eat a sausage and pepper sandwitch lol and for some reason my body hates soda or sugary drinks ,i would always have soda through out the day and now im having green tea instead of coffee and apple juice hmmm look at me on a health kick.
Well guys glad ur still with me here and who knows one day we might even be standing next to eachother somewhere and never know that we had in my eyes such a great impact in eachothers lives ,be well my friends and see u tomorrow.

Glad to here your days are getting better and Congrats on day 6. Are you getting anymore sleep? For me I sleep for an hour up 20 mins and sleep an hour. But I should be grateful I am getting any. No sleep makes it tough at work. So keep on keepin on your doing great.
Great on day 6! If you re-read your posts from the beginning you will see the struggle you had and how good you are feeling now, 'They didn't say it would be easy, but they did say it would be worth it' love that quote.
OK so day 6 is good i dont feel so cloudy today, still not sleeping much but i did get 3 hours this morn. Got up waterd the veg. garden got my wife coffee and dropped both kids off to school. Today is day two of work its going to be long but it will be fine. Tomorrow is the real test Thur.s we pull double shifts meaning 9am to 9pm haha get some, I didnt have the crazylegs much last night feels good to just be able to lay in one position for more than 20min.The fireball in my chest comes and goes now but one thing i noticed yest. while working i just went into this sad like state of mind didnt last long but i most deff. didnt care for the feeling.

The first day back after only 5 days detox is quite impressive. I don't think I could have made it. So a big CONGRATS on day 5 and making it through work. Hoping tomorrow is greater than today and get some sleep. Post you later.
You would be shocked and amazed how long you can go without sleep! When I detoxed from ambien and phenobarbital at the same time, I literally went weeks without sleeping for more than 15 or 20 minutes a night and some nights not at all... for several in a row! I think my longest stretch without ANY sleep was about 9 days. And then it was only a 5 or 10 minute nap every few days. It was the hardest thing I think I have ever been through....or at least the longest I have ever went through! But somehow your body gets through it and it evens back out!!!
I didn't tell you this to scare you, because that was an EXTREME case of coming off sleeping pills. Anyway, it will get better soon. Just sleep when you can, and relax when you can't!
Good luck!

Im not asking for much just 3 to 4 hours is all lol.The fireball in my chest is still there i thought it would be gone by now but hey it has to eventually leave. Its so hard to keep my eyes closed at night so agrivating, I think ive tryed everything from warm milk to melotonin to sleepy time tea NOTHING. How long can ur body hold up without sleep? well back to work i go, be well my friends and thanx again...

Hello my friend just went back to work today and am at lunch. I am happy for you as you sound much better today. You will get through this just keep up the great attitude and sense of humor. I am pulling for you.
Thanx girl and i have been telling myself that every min. of the days lol, im at a point now where i would never go back i put to much time and effort in this past week to through it out the window. Went for a drive this morn. felt good i smiled alot today and just to see the look in my wife's eye's when she looks at me now is awsome. Like im a superhero lol she really had no idea of how hard this is till i let her read my post's and she got to see what i was going through.Lucky man i am she rubbed my back for i dont know how long last night till i fell asleep ,i think it worked have to ask again tonight. What a diff. alittle human touch can make at times.Well thanx again girl.
Say to yourself 'I can get through' this. You only fail when you stop giving up trying to succeed. Thinking of you, Nicky.
Yes found pretty much all the supplements exept for the highland stuff went to every wallgreens around and cant find i dont even know what it looks like have to look it up today and maybe go there with a pic. lol, Just left my Dr. didnt even get to see him and to be honest i dont think i wanted to hes not happy about how im doing this he wanted to ween me off with suvoxon, but from what ive read about it i want nothing to do with it. He told me on the phone the other night to stop being such a macho man yea right im thinking if he only knew how macho i looked curled up in a ball on my bed crying my eyes out. Think im done with him also. Its time to start over with everything and this guy hads u pills like smarties .....Ohh u ran out 10 days early ohh ok just come in YEA YEA YEA no thanx .Thanx guys again for watching over me through this.

Later guy's.
Hi All,
I have been where you are at and it is a massive ride.... My husband has been withdrawling all week as well from our social, recreational use that somehow over a year got out of control... It has been hell to deal with him, but patience is essential here and I know this from first hand experience and withdrawl myself...
Try these things without using other perscription drugs...
Take a SHOWER (As many and as much as you need to)
Tylenol PM at night or any OTC sleep ease - I found these also help in quarters and halves during the day for severe agitation. When you are too tired to even move, get some hot tea, take 1/4 or 1/2 of one of these and get in bed for a little bit and read, doodle, whatever... Sleep, sleep, sleep through it if at all possible and as much as possible... Get outside in the wind and move your body every time you have a moment that you are not feeling ill from the WD.
I have to tell you that the only non opiate I found to help with the WD was Tramadol in a low dose.. It helped SOOOO much with the symptoms that it was amazing. It also can be slightly adictive, so I do not suggest more than 2 a day for a week probably (OF COURSE ASK A DOCTOR) but it is not an Opiate and that is the difference. It does however give you a slight opiate feeling and it relieves pain from WD.

I here ya, life is sooooo much more then money & possessions. Its great you keep up with your cousins in the old country. I wish I could but I am a Slovak(Yugoslavian) and that's not such a good place to be these days. Keep up the good spirits it will help you through this. Just think about how great it will be in Sicily. Keep on keepin on your doing great.
Yea about 2 blocks from me actually on the same st lol media everywhere going door to door , what were they like did you know them along time ,Man this is north jersey we barely know our neighbors after ten years. we all just see each other on the way to work in the morn or when we take out the garbage some nights. What a life, i love going back to Sicily every year and just watch my cousins ow they live ,work is the last thing on their minds ,they come home every day for a 2;30 hour lunch go out every night , no one is rich but they sure are happy i tell you.
How ya doin, it seems like you are feeling I hope. If you aren't eating you should get some ensure or protein drinks as it is extremely important to get protein along with the vitamins. Hey did you see the news about the suspected terrorists being arrested in Elmwood Park? Just goes to show they can be anywhere. I hope you have a good day today and get some sleep tonight. Keep going I am behind you 1000%. I wiil pray that God gives you strength (and maybe some sleep).
Try to eat..I read on here that somebody ate Protein shakes when it was too hard for him to eat..I am day 18 off of vicodin and I forced myslef to eat. As natural as possilbe. Your body is healing and needs its vitamins and minerals to get the job done! I know its easier said then done but all you can do is try.
My husband went through the same thing with the sleep..He tried everything phamacutical (sp) xanax..ativan..lunesta..valium..nothing helped. I went to the vitamin store and got a bottle of cal/magnessium..cost 15.00 and then went to Walgreens and bought Hylands restful legs...He had a rough ride but looking back believes this did help him..they are natural remedies ...my husband is on day 18 and still takes the mineral suppliment daily and if having trouble sleeping he takes the restful legs stuff...hang in there....you are getting there. Starve the beast out. sleep is natural so once things leave your body and things level out you WILL sleep! Stay busy ..keep your mind on other things it does help.

Hey im still here , I was hoping for alittle sleep last night time goes so slow when u dont sleep, but still here. need sleep so bad.And as for music love it but the only thing i play is musical shears and worked on stage as an educator for 10 years. If the sleep was there i really dont think today would be so bad lol or maybe its ok to be numb from no sleep.
Just checking to see how your doing. I hope you feel better than before. Hang in there I know it's tough but you can make it to the othert side.
