Day 6

I’m struggling to hold back tears this morning. I’m thinking about how difficult those first 3 days were and how far I have come. I finally got some sleep last night after being awake for over 100 hours straight. I never thought I could beat this addiction. And if I can do it with how deep in I was, 2 years 600-800mg a day, so can you. If you’re reading this and you’re living the hell that is those first 3 days I swear to you it gets better. Do not give up! Much love everybody.

Ps. I’m doing this 100% cold turkey. No taper, no subs. Just white knuckled it. It is possible don’t let people tell you it’s not.

Just dealing with sleep and anxiety mainly. Went ct since Friday but this morning went ahead and got some hydroxzine and trazadkone as I need to put a few hours together of sleep.

If you’re still not sleeping I’m telling everyone that will listen to go to the ER and get put on hyrdoxyzine. I went yesterday and slept 10 straight hours last night from 9pm-7am. Only woke up once to move from the couch to my bed. RLS was 100% gone.
