Monkey- the PM will definately help you sleep. The reason I recommend Benadryl is because the PM has so much Tylenol in it. And if you have pain pills, it probably ALSO has Tylenol, and it can screw up your liver if you take too much. So be careful. Also, when I was in detox for Xanax, the hospital gave me benadryl, rather than some kind of PM thing..it helps you sleep though..
MonkeyBear, just be careful with the Tylenol PM.... it won't be a problem as long as you're off the Vicodin, but if you do take the Vics again AND take tylenol to help you sleep, that puts you at a greater risk for acetaminophen toxicity/overdose (as I'm sure you know, the most dangerous part of the vicodin isn't really the hydrocodone but the acetaminophen/tylenol).
My tylenol overdoses is due to people taking one drug with acetaminophen in it and then taking another one for something else w/acetaminophen in it, w/o even realizing it.

Hello to all and good morning well today is day six for me and last evening was very hard. But I made it! Today I feel really good. I awoke with a very good song in my head "I can see clearly now the rain is gone" I hope all of you are feeling as well as myself. Thanks everyone for all the responses and advice. I just love this board. You have all taught me to accept my disease and face it head on. I like to re-read my post and wow what this addiction does. If you try to quit you feel every emotion one can feel. I can only hope that people with addictions can find their way to this message board. Thanks again. MonkeyBear225
