Opioids wd's all i want is sleep

[ixy]

I've been doing dope on and off for about a year. I'm kinda being forced into wd right now since my connecet got busted and i'm in a new city so i havent found anybody else yet.
anyway. i just fucking want some sleep right now this is the 3rd night in a row i haven't slept at all. I tried nyquil and weed, but no luck. Does anyone have any advice on otc meds that will help me get some sleep.

Shit you can buy online and in some herbariums, like k2/spice and Kratom have really helped me through WD's from opiates, and other WD's as well when there were not better options.

Kratom is god awful tasting but if you prepare it right, and take it with Grapefruit juice, your wd's will ease enough for you to sleep.

If you've been into some heavy stuff the kratom will at best rival taking a few vicodins.

Stay strong.

You can't die from insomnia...if you don't feel like sleeping don't sleep.

^ I dunno what you read but the OP said all they want is sleep, but they can't because the opiate w/d.

OP: Try a hypnotic benzo is available, Temazepam works wonders, even in heavy w/d 120mg can knock me out for a good 6-8 hours which is years it seems in withdrawl...

I'm the exact opposite during w/ds: all I CAN do is sleep. With horrifying nightmares. Not much better.

What works for my run-of-the-mill insomnia is antihistamines (doxylamine, diphenhydramine), though these cause serious depression/drowsiness for days afterward. Kava feels just like benzos and is a great OTC substitution if benzos work for you. Tricyclic antidepressants like Elavil and Anafranil put me in the deepest sleep coma of my life when I was prescribed them years ago, though you don't want to mix them with other antidepressants.

Other stuff that might help:

Nyquil
Prescription sedatives (Ambien, Lunesta)
Indica weed
Valerian root
Vigorous exercise during the day
A warm bath with Epsom salts before bed
Imodium (technically an opiate, may help withdrawals indirectly)
Vistaril (prescription antihistamine for anxiety)
Calcium/magnesium supplements

I just moved to brooklyn and i guess i could go back to jersey, which is what i had been doing, but i don't have a car and the only guy who would meet me if i wasnt' in a car just got busted.

I think i'm gonna try backing whith weed, as long as i can get it down, it usually makes me more tired that way. kava kavas a good idea too.
