You could try benedryl for sleep.  I have a cold and it did help to knock me out to help cold and get some sleep however it may just make restless feelings worse..You could try half a pill to see.....Cold sweats should go away pretty soon.  Hang in there you can celebrate coming off with a nice fireworks show..Keep busy and try not to watch the clock.  Walk a lot or circle a room like I did.....

God is with you.....You can do this...Stay strong

Oh, God love you for being so determined to do this for yourself and your family!  The road always gets a bit bumpy before it smooths out... you gotta stay focused and tough it out, hunny.  You can do it.  Make sure you eat a well balanced diet with alot of fruit and veggies.  Ibuprofen may take the edge off, too.  Melatonin is a natural and great sleep aid when taken in low-doses (1-2 mg before bed).  Also, get out in the fresh air and sunshine when you can, and let the beauty of nature soothe you.  This really helps, just give it time, and every day, it will be just a little bit easier.  God bless you and your family. - Blu
