Details:
I have been off Tramadol for 22 days after abusing them for two years. I am having trouble sleeping. I went and bought tylenol pm, advil pm, and benadryl. I also purchased kava kava capsules it only helped for one night, but to no avail. Does anyone out there have any other suggestions that i can try? I am desperate and need to get some sleep before I collapse. I do not want to take ambien or any of those strong drugs, because I know I would abuse them. I would appreciate any suggestion.
thank you

Hi Luvy, I know exactly how you feel! I went through the same thing and it is very maddening.
Please buy some Melatonin tablets, they are all natural, and can be purchased at any pharmacy. They will help a bit. If it gets bad, call your doc for Lunesta or Ambien... the Ambien can cause people to do odd things in their sleep, so be careful with it!
It takes time for your natural sleep patterns to return to normal.
Are you working right now?

Hi Luvy... I wouldn't exactly call this recipe yummy... but you mix warm milk with cinnamon and drink after hot bath before bed. A guy i met in detox told me to try it... amazing how much advice is exchanged in these centers right... some good, some not so much:) Still, we try it all. I'm not fond of cold milk much less warm, but was so desperate i choked it down and actually got some much needed sleep... try it... what do you have to lose... besides sleep that is:)

I was perscribed seroquel to help with my anger and severe insomnia. As far as I know it dosnt have any abuse potential. It works great but isn't fda approved for insomnia. Might give you the munchies though:)

Yes I am working. I could not take it anymore so I scheduled an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow. My boyfriend is starting to suspect something. He does not know that I was addicted to the Tramadol. He went on a trip for a week and I decided to detox while he was gone, but little did I know that it was going to be hard, because I went cold turkey. I have never been addicted to anything in my life. I am so glad I found this site to be able to speak to people that know what I am going through. My family is very old fashion; I am suppose to be the golden child. lol. I do feel better just a little weak and without sleep it adds to that. How long did it take your sleeping patterns to go back to normal?

Hi again Luvy,
I took OxyContin for almost ten years, so it took a while for my sleep patterns to get back to normal.
I forgot to tell you about Sleepy Time Tea... it tastes like roadkill (not that I've ever munched on roadkill... ) but if you can add enough honey you might be able to gag it down, it might help.
You gotta get yourself to a doc, I took Xanax and I also took Ambien for a week. Ambien guaranteed five hours of sleep for me. But don't stay on it too long!
If you want to PQ me feel free,
