Way To Go Brother!!!

Dont worry about the sleep, yesterday (day 7) seemed endless....at least your getting 5 hours.

Try not to take that Ambein too long, after 3 weeks, you can find yourself sleep walking, and doing weird things. I had to quit after taking them for 5 months. But for temporary use, your okay.....

Your on your way to a brand new life! Keep it up my friend and God Bless!

Way to go rjs, Im glad to hear you stuck it out and didnt switch over to anything. You sound like your doing wonderfully well, remember just take it day by day, remain positive and the rest shall fall in place for you. So congrats on day7, most of the more intense w/d should be over, so keep posting your progress and you will be an inspiration for all those out there struggling with their own demons...good job and best of luck to ya!!!

Yes  - calcium / magnesium  - - ambien for sleep - - - and zanax works for panic / anxiety - - maybe I would recommend a heating pad on legs also.....that helps frequently.

hi.  have you tried taking the amino acids that they tell you about on the bottm right hand side of the page?  really works for the RLS, although i am still having trouble sleeping too.  also, large amounts of calcium magnesium before bed eally help relax the muscles!  good luck, Kova
