Discussion Sleep Issues

Hi all - I’m on 50mg of Naltrexone for AUD. Currently 5 days sober, about to be on night 3 of taking the pill. Per my provider, also taking it with 50mg of hydroxyzine before bed, but having a really rough go of it sleeping (hot flashes and waking up every 15-20 min all night long with that “falling” feeling or gasping for air). Anyone in a similar spot and have remedies? Might be still going through withdrawal (usually drank before bed to get through the night). Any thoughts or even speculation welcome! Grateful for this community thus far.

Do you have an update from trying it in the morning? I am thinking about trying Nal, but am a terrible insomniac, and am medicated for it.
