Day 38, I got out of treatment about 1.5 weeks ago and was doing well. The treatment center prescribed gabbapentin and I ran out on Thursday, I haven’t slept since. I Googled gabbapentin withdrawls and I’m very surprised treatment prescribed that. Haven’t slept much since Thursday and I feel like I’m at square one, depressed, anxious, insomnia…
Anyways, just seeing if anyone else had this experience
I started to take melatonin for nights when I can’t sleep.Sometimes our thoughts or other things keep us up …I tried zzquil for awhile until I realized it was leaving me feeling addicted…realized it has 10% alcohol in it and decided to go with more natural route.Melatonin relaxes your body alot.
If you are stressed take some of that and like @Oliverjava said drink some calming teas.
When I had a bathtub I would take baths with lavender in it and play some relaxing music, it really helped.
Hope this helps!
Thanks guys, feeling better after 8 days. Benadryl seemed to help the sleep a bit
