I agree with brian. I'm an old vic addict and I know if I was only taking 6 per day, which by the way is within the guidelines of some vic prescriptions (depending on strenght) of 1 every 4-6 hours, it shouldn't make him sick like that. He is doing something way more than 6 vics or he is taking them all at once. Being sick is our bodies way of getting rid of toxins. But remember, he has to want OUT. Read some of the threads, especially Brians. We are here to support and help in anyway we can.

Brian, I'm glad you worked off your steam. You know I used vics everytime I had a problem, there they were and I could numb the problem away. But we know that that is a lie, just gives us one more thing to be pissed at ourselves for. It's so hard sometimes. But you sound like you got a good vent with your workout. I'm glad you're better this morning, yes? You know, I always liked that saying, "Peace Out".

You know, I always liked that saying, "Peace Out". | thank you , and yes i do know how that goes every time anything happens ""time for some vics"" it was a simple fix but was just another problem .
so yah the main thing now that is really kicking my butt is insomnia Ive been trying to sleep for hours now and it reallys ticks me off I'm tired but just can't fall asleep . i can deal with it physically but mentally it's really getting to me now! anyone any advice on over the counter sleep aids ? I am taking "nexium " daily for acid reflux so anything that would go with that ?
well on another note i only have 10 days left for vacation myrtle beach here we come . 14 long but short days  so my stress level should be a (0) again . alright going for coffee can't sleep morning all....
god bless us all

Hey Brian, Sorry to hear about the lack of sleep. I would agree that if there is one lingering present that the good ol vic's give us is NO sleep. I am on day 17 and still only get a few quality hours. But the way I look at it is simple. Ill take the long nights instead of the alternative. I continue to use Sleepy time and Tylenol pm. I know some do not feel it works for them, but for me it has done the trick. I promised myself I would not trade one pill for another. Altough, Tylenol is a pill, I do not feel bad taking it. Have a better day B. |

yah Ive always had some kind of insomnia or just was a vampire and liked the graveyard shift , but i really don't think it's got to do with me not taking vics anymore . i'm now geessss over a month clean now and feeling great .but this insomnia just started to effect me within the last 2 weeks now driving me crazy .
i am going to get some Tylenol pm or Advil pm and see if them work but want to check and see if it's ok to take with nexium first ( anyone)?
so yah thanks for the advice a lot , and glad to meet you . your doing great in your recovery just watch them mental cravings they can creap up from no were !
thanks again t.t.y.l.
god bless us all

Another thing you might try if you can do it with your nexium is melatonin. I used to take a little valarian root too. The room has to be completely dark. I also listen to classical music at night. I was using ambien at the beginning, but it doesn't work for me after a few days anyways, and didn't want to trade one drug for another, either. My mom uses unisom, pretty much the same as tylenol p.m. Try your tylenol p.m. and maybe a little sleepy time tea. Maybe a hot bath. I don't know. I'm just throwing things out there. My boyfriend was a terrible insomniac.
Enjoy your vacation at Myrtle Beach, relax in the sun and just let yourself become of the beauty of the place.
When I go to bed tonight, I'll wish rest and good dreams for you.

Glad you're sleeping better! Being tired and not being able to sleep is maddening. I'm hanging in there. Some nights I sleep better than others, but I guess that comes with the territory and will come together in time. I'm hanging in there, having ups and downs, but been real busy getting ready to go to Seattle to see my son, leaving Thurs. Have a great vacation!
