A member asked:
I'm on day 3 off heroin, i was doing it off and on for a couple months but now i'm quitting and it messed up my whole sleeping schedule. i haven't been getting good rest at all and i been up since 1 pm yesterday. what's your suggestion on what i should do
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatment Program : Insomnia is part of opiate withdrawal. It will eventually pass and your sleep should improve. In the meantime, some treatment programs suggest melatonin which can be purchased over the counter. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is also used. Another option which requires a prescription is Trazodone. All of these are non-addictive. Best wishes!
