it is a difficult question, Jes... Problems with sleep are common as you know. I had them for some months (2/3 months )but i was happy with having 6 hours of sleep . So my question is that maybe you are getting too ansious about this issue. I would not speak of insomnia if you are sleeping at least 6 hours. Wait for now to see how it develops, you are yet on the early days, so the speak,
well its my fifth day clean and of course sleeping is not great yet. having trouble falling asleep but at least i am getting at least 6 hours of sleep. im hoping to get an answer to my question. my last post. after how long can i attribute this to insomnia and not withdrawal, so i can talk to a doctor about sleeping pills. the otc stuff just doesnt work for me. and i dont think its only withdrawal, however it may be at this moment. but i have had trouble sleeping for as long as i can remember and tried otc meds then also.
so how long should my sleep be erratic due to withdrawal? i dont want to tell a doctor now then he puts me on sleeping pills and there is a chance that my problems of the past are not present anymore. after how long can i attribute this to insomnia and and not withdrawal?
yes i have tried melatonin regular and extra strength. my girlfriend buys many different brands and kinds of otc sleep aids she finds at the store otc, that i too have tried. i don't know the ingredients. i only drink water, Juice, and milk and eat healthy. it doesn't matter if i work all day or sit on the couch. I don't like tea and wont drink it. i can only think to consult a doctor.
Have you tried melatonin or other OTC sleep aides?
