How long does the early insomnia last!?

I have the same question…
Great question. I’m a year and a half sober and I still can’t sleep. I’m wound like an 8 day clock.
I’m using Sleepytime tea with valerian. A cup before bed at night seems to help me.

I used alcohol to sleep primarily. This has been the biggest struggle for me. Personally, the Librium got me through the detox part to sleep. Now I'm on a Rx of Seraquel and hydroxyzine. They work like a charm and I am HARD to put down. I would recommend Seraquel to ya ... melatonin helps some as well. But the Seraquel plus hydroxyzine has been best for 7-8 hrs then not waking up like a zombie. Neither is scheduled as a narcotic so should be no problem getting prescribed if you explain your insomnia. Good luck
It all depends. I take unisom gel tablets. Helps a lot
18 days still can't sleep. I am exercising non stop to just get exhausted. Hang in....
Best of luck! I'm 14 days in, Alteril has been a life saver. Box says to take two, but I've found once I hit a groove of taking one at about 10:30 I'm ready to doze off at 12:30. Seems reasonable, tryptophan and melatonin.
