Hey guys
Thanks for all the help last night. I was soo lonely for sleep. I took the benedryl at 330 and it worked. I feel like a zombie right now, my eyes are red, but im going to shower and fight it. And maybe get some exercise today.
So my dr said if the traz didnt work we can try serequal for sleep?
I can tell you one thing the Seroquel will work for sure so you have no excuse to try the drinking regimen .Glad you got some rest.Cris
Thanks Chris. Thanks everyone. Im going to shower and try and go about my day.
Justin...I dont' know about all these drugs to get you to sleep. It seems to me that maybe you ought just chill out and let it happen. Nature has a way of helping us out when we most need it. You're over thinking this whole thing.
I'm so glad you at least got some sleep. Probably more than I had in the beginning. You're right on track, so relax. It's all gonna be good.
excersize is a great idea!

Dear Red:
Serequel is a very good drug. Sleep is so important in early recovery.
I would also cut out all caffeine products and replace with 8+ glasses of water.
Vitamins are also important. Red if you can exercise 4-5 hrs before you plan on sleeping.
The serquel will work like a charm.
Good Luck--Jeff

Cow girl. Ok well the benedryl is not bad to take. Maybe i will just take that then tonight. I wound up reading last night. I had an old psycology book in my room from college. I read the chapter on anxiety and learned how to deep breath last night. It may have worked
I'm so proud of you Justin. You are very proactive in your recovery. Most won't ask questions or look for ways to help themselves. They just want to whine about it or put others down for what they think might be right.
Good for you.
Jeff..I'm really glad that the sequel is working for you. I don't know much about that drug since I try to keep all chemicals out of my body now. Plus, I've never needed it.
Just wish I could quit smoking and get the one last chemical gone.

Reddod, How much Traz. did you take? My prescription says to take 1-4 50mg. pills each night. My Dr. said take one and wait 1/2 hour, if not asleep take a second. Wait another 1/2 hour, if still not asleep, take a third. Wait another 1/2 hour, if still not asleep, take a fourth. Up to 200mg. per night. I am a 100 lb. female. I have a friend who takes 300mg. per night. My doctor said for the following night, go ahead and take the amount it took the previous night, to get to sleep all at once. I don't know what your doctor said, but talk to him about how much is safe for you to take.
It would be nice if you could ride this out and let sleep happen naturally. However, it seems your insomnia has reached a point where it is affecting your recovery. Please don't use alcohol to sleep. Being groggy from sleeping pills is better than being hungover.
I worry about this because insomnia caused me to use again and again. Each time I would get past the worst of WD, and my only symptom left was insomnia, I would go get oxy. It was a little lie I told myself. I would think "if you just get a few pills to take for the next few nights, you won't abuse and won't have WD." Let me rephrase, that was a HUGE lie I told myself. It NEVER worked out that way. This was one of the main things that kept the cycle of abuse going for me. Please do not fall for this lie! And don't substitute alcohol. You will get through this.
Take care, Atlas
