I'm guessing I aint alone not being able to sleep too good. Well, I spoke with my dr. and he wanted to prescribe some sleeping aid. I'm not to keen on some of those strong prescribed sleep aiRAB so I kindly declined. Well, I found an over the counter product that has been a God-send to me. Works better than anything I've tried.
 
I am right there with ya. The arabiens and Lunesta ect are great, but they can be habit forming and they leave me looking like a ZOrabIE in the AM. Not that I dont look like one after what I have been through over the last 10 days, but even so. I use either melatonin or Benedryl to get to sleep. Work like a charm if you ARE NOT in full WD's. Not much works if you are in the first 4-5 days of withdrawal.

Well, here's what i found. It's an over the counter all natural sleep aid called Alteril. It has L-Tryptophan, Valerian Root, and Melatonin in it. I've taken it the last couple nights and it has worked really well. The first night, I got 6 hrs straight sleep without waking up at all. Compared to what I was doin, that was great. Last night, same thing, a good 6 without waking. So....good luck my frienRAB, hopefully this will help.
 
I have had success most of the time with Melatonin, so would be interested in trying the Alteril sometime. I've tried Arabien but only take it in an absolute "emergency" situation. It's not addicting, per se, but the more you use it, the more you need the next time! And Benadryl makes me wake up groggy. :-(
 
hello BigRed.... yeah, i always had good luck with melatonin too. This is why I tried this. I'm tellin ya, it sure did work for me. Good luck...
