Day 5/6
I didn't post much on day 4. From stomach issues, to extreme insomnia, to just plain bad feelings I just came here and read other posts for strength. I am happy to announce on day 5 I actually slept 6 straight hours, I haven't had any symptoms today and I think the RLS has calmed down. Here's to five more days 
No need for pills anymore!

What's amazing is I'm really into Trance, House, Electro music and I find if I sit at the computer with a little Deadmau5 or just something with a sick drop that all the feelings go away and I get that rush(in shorter intervals) that I did with the pills. Its been the biggest thing that's helped besides a slew of vitamins, otc leg cramp stuff, and Benadryl. Thanks for the words of encouragement!

I had trouble falling asleep for about a week. Now I sleep better than I ever remember. It's such a wonderful feeling.
Late this afternoon I had my strongest urge so far to just say "to heck with it" and have a couple of drinks. Part of talking myself down from actually doing that was thinking about how much I love sleeping now. I don't want to ruin that (along with everything else that's getting better -- some faster than others, of course).
Anyway, the point is...Congratulations on Day 5 into 6 and I'm sure that you'll be sleeping soundly soon!
Best, ODog.

So I will go back and relive the nightmare of these withdrawals if I ever get the urge again.
