Hey all- I need to know because I am considering medical intervention soon. I have been using prescribed opiates for about 5 years. This last time I stopped oxy about a month ago and had no problem because I still was taking about:
1) 100-120 mg daily hydrocodone + opium tincture
2) 12-15 beers a day
3) 12.5mg ambien every night, and sometimes I would forget and take a second one.
4) nicotine
5) small amounts of valium here and there (half life is crazy long though)
I haven't used any opiates, nicotine, or alcohol for 11 days. I took tiny amounts of the ambien day 1,2,3 and tiny and gradually less valium days 1-6 (in the last 10 days only used 20mg valium total).
The first 9 days I didn't sleep ONE BIT. I was done with the usual WD stuff in 3 days, but the insomnia is crippling me. Day 10 I slept 15 minutes at around 4am and then woke up and at 5am got another 15 minutes. Last night again ZERO SLEEP.
I am concerned that with all that stuff I CT'd that I'm in unknown territory and I don't want to end up in the hospital where they will surely pump me full of benzos and/or hypnotics and subox or something.
The only thing I am taking now is Clonodine 2mg X 2 per day.
Has anyone gone this long without sleep, and if so how long until at least 2 hours a nights returned for you? I don't want to take anything, no cravings at all right now for any of it, but I am extremely worried and don't know if I am giving myself brain damage or something.
I know all the above was stupid in combo, it took 6 years to get to those amounts.
