I don't wanna get into a lot of detail here. Anyhow 7 days ago i stopped taking suboxone. Most of the physical symptoms are gone. I have been using kaldopine for sleep to no prevail. I've been keeping active during the day as much as possible walking, push ups, sit ups, and alot of stretching. Two things what can i do that well help me sleep and what can i do for my anxiety. I don't wanna continue taking the kalodpine but thats the only thing that helps with my extreme mood swings, is there any natural supplements that help. I have to go back to work In 5 days and i'm just scared these symptoms are gonna enable my performance at work. I'd appreciate any suggestions.



Thanks,
Matthew

Do you mean Klonopin (clonazepam)? There are plenty of natural supplements to help sleep but we need more information about what you're currently taking.
 
yes klonopin .25 twice a day basically for anxiety. When i have took them in the past they knocked me out. I have never abused them in the past and i'm confused why they won't help with sleep issues. I haven't smoked pot in years and recently started just to get through the stomach issues. I'd figure that would help with sleep as well but nothing has worked in the past 7 days. I get an hour or two max a day.
 
I recommend picking up some melatonin and some valerian root supplements. Both are available at health food stores. Avoid all stimulants (including caffeine) and make sure you're eating right, etc. Weed helps a lot of anxiety and can be safely mixed with those things. If those don't work, I recommend picking up a sedating antihistamine (availability depends on what country you're in...) like Benadryl (diphenhydramine), Sominex (doxylamine) or Phenergen (promethazine) to help get you to sleep.

The sleep will return soon.
 
Another thing i have dmt i wanna use it i think it could be therapeutic in a certain way. I think it could go good or bad does anyone have any suggestions. Like is my mind still to fragile or could i possibly have a revelation and shed light on why i became an addict to opiates in the first place.
 
If you haven't had any sleep in a week, do not do DMT.

Wait until you've gotten back into a normal routine and aren't sleep deprived before even thinking about taking super powerful psychedelics.
 
This is for the what it's worth department... A few years ago I was on only 8MG Suboxone daily and ended up in jail for a 3 month stint. I was a bit sick to my stomach for a few days but not that big of a deal. What was a big deal is my legs twitched for over 30 days when I tried sleeping at night and my sleep was deprived also. All I can say is I have never heard of people dying from a lack of sleep. Just saty strong and find something to keep you occupied during your long nights. I dunno, maybe try reading a boring book, that always puts me to sleep.
 
well i'm on 7 days with no subs or any other opiate. I have been using benzos in moderation just to keep me somewhat level and hopes they would help me sleep but nothing. My question is what well help me sleep.
 
The lack of sleep is torture man.. I know.. it's a big reason I would end up relapsing when trying to get clean off of H or bupe. The insomnia accompanying withdrawal, even after the worst of it is over, is so intense that drugs that would knock most people out for days on end don't even help give us 15 minutes of shut eye. I get it bad too..so do a lot of people I know. As annoying and painful as it is to be so sleep deprived..you wont die from it and eventually your body will start to take the sleep when it needs it and you'll slowly return to normal. Hang in there.
 
i know i just dont wanna be a zombie at work. Thats not for five days though. i just don't wanna look fucked up and be accused of being on drugs when i'm actually not. Being sleep deprived and doing physical labors a bitch.
