So im having so opiod w/d and I have .5mg xanax, which im hoping will help me sleep later. Do you think this dose will allow me to sleep considering I dont really have any benzo tolerance? If not im considering taking a shot or two to help out, what do you all think is this enough?
 
It will help, but to what degree depends on how big your opioid habbit is and how far your into withdrawals.
 
I highly doubt that will be enough to get you to sleep, .5mgs is a pretty low dose even for non-tolerant users. If this is your first day of withdrawal, or you have a really small habit you may be able to catch some sleep, otherwise you can only hope...
 
Seroquel can really backfire, it really ramps up the restlessness for some people. I'd imagine this wouldn't be an issue when taken with pregab.

I know your looking for some immediate relief with what's on hand, but I've found the combination of gabapentin, baclofen, cannabis, and magnesium citrate to do wonders for opiate withdrawal. All can be purchased online... pregab is better than gabapentin, but it's pretty hard to get ahold of and you can't just easily order it from an OP like you can with neurontin. Stocking up on these meds will really save your ass in the future.

yeah the seroq can be a bitch for all the side effects, it also completely loses its sleep aid quality in short order. start low, use sparingly, you can probably get a couple nights relief before you are up around 125-150 and then it becomes a completly different animal.

good luck man, light at the end of the tunnel and all that
 
Trazedone- wheneve I loose someone close to me, I'll ask for Trazedone, and finally sleep when the parents & siblings have exhausted themselves of taxing me with reasonable ?s, that cannot be answered. Knocks me the fuck out. Bad are erections after an few days,, they'd go away. Usually take it for about one week at night. Benzos cannot help me sleep when I'm dealing with a passed friend. Trazedone isn't controlled (USA) and usually well tolerated and if you've not taken often, very strong.

Best wishes, "...a shot of two to help out" if you mean dope then you're really tapering, which is ok, but make a plan and stick to it.
In Colorado Medicaid, "PCIP" now pays for methadone. Just saying...
