Can Xanax Cure Restlessness And Sleeplessness?

I am going cold turkey off Tramadol and I didn t sleep the first two nights. I bought Tylenol PM. It is helping a little bit.....but I m shaky during the day and it is still difficult to fall asleep at night. Would it be safe to take 1 .25 tablet of Xanax at some time during the day to take the edge off the shakiness and restlessness ?

uhhhhhhh......
cannot comment on your particular situation
BUT
stopping one addictive drug then using a second drug with a VERY HIGH POTENTIAL OF ADDICTION to lower the withdrawal from the first drug is not generally recommended.
