Day 6 here and at midnight west coast time I will be going into day 7.
I get very emotional at times. Depressed and sad. I want nothing to do with with the pills anymore. I just want a good nights sleep!!!! I initially feel very very sleepy, So I shut down the TV and within the hour I am stretching my legs, kicking the covers and just exhausted. No matter how tired I am, this mild achy feeling in my calves just never goes away.
I am certain you are all saying, "Yeah Yeah, I know what your saying" But I just have to talk about it. It makes me feel better knowing I am not alone. This can be a very lonely feeling. I have a very supportive spouse, but I only tell her of the good things happening now that I am off the stuff.
Yes, there is alot of good stuff happening, it is just this hopeless feeling at night. Everyone is sound asleep and I am not.
I also can get a little irritable during the day as well!!!!
I really appreciate all you guys and
ICAMAIDIDICONQURED_ very cool to see you doing better as well.
Peace to you all |
The RLS and the miserable nights are for sure one of the very worst parts of detox. No one is belittling what is happening to you I promise. This RLS sadly is often one of the last things to leave us. It lasted for me for a good while after the other detox symptoms were past. For some it goes sooner.
Not to sound corny but a good old fashioned humble prayer is not out of the question at this time. I don't really know too many other things to suggest. One thing that may help is to hit a really good hot shower or better yet a hot bath. That WILL give you some relief at least for a little while. At this point I know any relief you get is welcome.
Hang in there. It will get better. We just have to pay the price for the errors in judgement we made while using. Once we go through what you are going through right now it makes us wonder why we ever did this to ourselves. It was enough to make me stop doing stupid things ... hopefully it will work for you too. I will say a prayer for you. Mine get answered pretty often. Good luck to you and God bless. Keep posting.
