Sleep?

When should I expect to have sleep again? I'm on day 5 of a 3 week tramadol addiction.

My doctor told me anywhere from 15 to 20mlg. It's natural but you don't want to overdue it. I'm proud of you

Congrats on day 5!!!  Sleep is one of the last things to come back!  I wont be much help cause I was able to sleep through my whole detox!  But most people cant and Im sure if you just hang on others will be on to give you some great advice!!!  At least you are getting 5 hours a night!  Not sleeping wont kill us just make us tired and uncomfortable!  But it must be so frustrating!!!  Keep on doing what you are doing and someone will be on soon that can give you some advice!!!

Okay, I know how horrible it is too not get sleep epically when you are so exhausted. I didn't start get real sleep im and I mean only Couple hours until day 9 or 10 with the melatonin. That's about when I started exercising to. I'm so sorry and I know it is hard, you have to find your strength. Push through. I know you can do this. Someone else may know something to help you sleep. But I here for you

Melatonin is a great sleep aid, I get the 3mlg tablets and take 4 my doctor said I could take anywhere from 10 to 20 mlg. Just try and hang in there. I know it rough but you can do it.

Hello. Have you tried over the counter sleep aids. Melatonin is all natural herb that helps alot.
Others should be able to help more. I'm sure they will be on soon.
