This smell is making me crazy

[Back2Me]

Ill start a new thread since my last one is getting long and hard to keep up with on the ol iPhone.  But this SMELL that seems to be emitting from every pore in my body is killing me. I force myself to take a shower every day even though it hurts but man this smell just comes back with a vengeance. And it's not sweat. It seems to be real heavy on my face and hands. It's disgusting. I remember this before but it seems way worse now. Anyone else have this problem? I know I'm still just starting day 4 and am not rushing things but things would be a lot easier without dealing with this too. Oh well just another reason to never do this again I guess. But does anyone really known why this happens exactly?

I can't sleep either. Only thing keeping me going is this forum.

I hope you are able to relax some and get some rest. I dozed for about 30 mins but it's harder than usual. I'm in the semi truck with my bf and we'll be driving all night. Much easier to sleep when you're not moving!

The insomnia is par for the course, dude. What I would like to share with you is what happened to me re: benzos. I wasn't a benzo person, either (still not one.) When I came off Methadone on Dec. 25th followed by 20 days of Suboxone the w/d's were so sustained that I used Klonopin & occasionally Xanax when I had to. I used them off and on until about Late Feb. I noticed that my tolerance was building even though I didn't use them every day. I dropped them like a hot potato because I've seen how hard they are for people to kick. That's when the true hell broke loose in terms of utter sleeplessness. That was all of March for me and well into April. So, beware, my friend.

Should I try an Ativan or klonopin? There is zero danger of me abusing either of those not my thing. I just remember I did that before and upon waking felt super panic and worse. I haut don't know. Ill try the backwards number thing and for the massage yes I do but she is asleep. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow if I'm not done in by insomnia. I just don't remember if this is normal or not. I do wonder one thing though i was hitting the ambien HARD like 3-4 x per day just up to like yesterday for about 3-4 days through the worse of it. I know I know bad dangerous choice but I was desperate. I just wonder if this insomnia is some sort of ambien rebound thing as well for the past few days? I'm out ambien now. Now I can abuse thiose so it's good they are gone. But maybe this is just normal right now with h WD?

Try to relax as much as you can and make sure it's totally silent and dark as possible. Count backwards from 100 over and over. You will find yourself skipping numbers and losing your place, then you will wake up. I don't know if it was keeping my mind from jumping all over the place or what, but it helped me get some sleep. Take an epsom salt bath as hot as you can handle it first, the relaxation is good rest, even if you don't sleep.

Hey Back2Me, do you have anyone there who can give you a long massage and/or foot rub after a hot salt bath?
