Up at midnight

[leahlee18]

Ok this *****. Ive slept great the past 2 nights and here im up. I took a xanax but its not working. Can i get use to these? I slept from 11 to 3 today and a couple hours tonight then woke up.  It *****.

When I was in rehab they gave me clonidine, valium, and seroquel and I still was up all night, zero hours of sleep, not even minutes.  I have always suffered insomnia though and because of that and my anxiety I literally couldn't sleep correctly for months.  What I found that was odd is when I finally did sleep some in a night I almost felt too racey and anxious the next day, it was like I almost just preferred to be tired and zombie like so I didn't think much in the beginning at least.

A lot of the OTC meds make the restless legs unbearable, so I wouldn't recommend Nyquil, Benadryl, or Unisom.  Try SleepMD.

it will get better but I will say that the other meds could hold you back just jump and be done that way all you have to wonder about is normal stuff if that makes sense ?? the mind game of is this pill helping or hurting is just another battle I found that the natural way with vitamins and normal food is the best way for me but that's me good luck today and remember you did not get hook in two days so it be over real fast either..

Totally normal and a total pain in the ***....i know, but part of the process that we all seem to go through. I had some valium during my w/d and i found it didnt help at all! In fact, i found it made it much worse b/c i couldnt sleep but now was even more tired! Some people try the melatonin or valerian root....might help, just didnt help me. Just push through it and keep moving forwards....no turning back now!!!
