Been clean 10 days, but still have..well..lets say what is going in solid isnt coming out solid. Happens several times a day too..any ideas? - Chris
Maybe its all that Soy Milk!!??? LOL...just kidding!
Imodium helped me immensely. Just for a few days until you get back to regular.
Congrats on 10 days!!
P.S. I just peeked at your website...you are a real boy!! All those gadgets...looks like you are well occupied!

Chris,
I only had that problem for 2-3 days but I can tell you that I totally agree with Kee-Kee. Immodium is the best for that problem. Have a good evening.

Chris,I really wish I had some def advice.but I have Chrons so I can totally understand.You could try some plain rice,with some gravy or butter for flavor.They also have pretty tasty prepackaged ones.I dont try to "harden up"but I do notice that when I eat rice it does happen(not for long with me)
Immodian is a good(i guess)suggestion.But I know people who have taken that & it ends up really being a pain in the Bum.
Hope you feel better soon

Chris, I know that Kee Kee said " What about that soy milk?" in jest, but.....
whenever my kids had diaharia, ( oh the he.l with the spelling ) - the squirts
the first thing the pediatrician said is "Keep them OFF dairy products". He explained it like this. Diaharia, " the squirts", are a wound, and dairy products open that wound again. My mom says the same thing. Try that and and the Imodium. Hope it helps. Love, Gracie

FYI.....Soy Milk is not a "dairy" product. So you should be ok with soy...but I don't about gallons of it! LOL
kee kee I still have sooooo much to learn from you :) Gracie
Gracie, my girl! You are doing so awesome..you keep it up. How are you today?
Its not the soy milk, its non dairy and was happening before the soy milk :) I will try immodium, just the recommended dosage?
Chris,
Yes. Follow the directions on the bottle. We don't want you to be the first case of ODing on anti diarrhea medicine. lol
I'm going to go along with what Gracie said about the dairy products. I know, I know it's Soy Milk not Cow Milk. When we are detoxing our poor bodys have been so abused how are our stomaches supposed to know the difference?

Took your adviced, took the prescribed dose and I'm actually feeling better in other ways too, not just the "solids" problem. I took a nap and usually when i do this I feel like s*** when I wake up, but I felt..fine..I wonder if immodium has any other properties that help recovery, maybe I'm just being silly. Peace. - Chris
Still working well, taking as advised. How long until I can stop taking these?, I'm on day 11. - Chris
Chris
you asked whether imodium has any other properties that help with recovery.
Imodium (loperimide) is an opiate it has the same action on your bowel as a regular opiate pain pill although it does not make you high. Althought there are some reports on the web that says that some children have been stoned on it by mistake. When I was detoxing I used it a lot (over the recomended amount) it did work but my Dr got concerned and said I may be replying on to satisfy my opiate receptors. That may be why you felt good on it.
good luck

Chris-
Just checking in to see how you are feeling. I am hoping much better by now.
Stick with the Immodium, but like they said...........Take "er easy on it. :)
Its funny, I still find myself always wanting to take more of ANYTHING, and kind of pill, even if I know damned good and well it wont do a thing for me...........I am working on this.
I always thought well if 3 Motrin are good, well 5 are better..............same with everything, never considering my poor liver.
Having to force the change...........but I am happy to say I only took 2 today, and I really did have a headache, and the two actually worked :)
Hugs, keep us informed.

Chris,
Happy Day is right on the money. I have used Imodium many, many, many times for detox. Imodium and Robitusin would get me through a whole week w/o Norco. It is VERY useful for detox, and not just for your bowels. It will fill receptors and slow down your racing heart, and as you discovered, it WILL help you get some sleep.
What it WON'T do is get rid of the post acute withdrawl depression we have all faced before. PAWS always pushed me back to the pills........
I can't recomend it, but I have taken it WAY above the dosage on the package. I would think that at day 11 or 13 or whatever you ar at now you should be fine at the recomended dosage on the bottle.
GREAT JOB by the way. I am inspired by your story and I LOVE your daily updates.
Keep it up!
peaceout

Just curious,
Robitussin for Detox, I must have missed that before. Never have heard of that one.
In what way does it help, I am just curious?
Thanks :)

Guess what then, I'm stopping the immodim. If this stuff contains opiates wont I go into another semi w/d again? I have only been taking it 2 days, I think I'm going to stop it now.
Oh Java Girl, I have had headaches since I was a kid. in my early adult years sometimes I would take 8 advil, the norm was four. Then i discovered Excedren Migraine, taken 2 as directed, does the job 90% of the time. I also have a prescription for maxalt, but I think the last time I took one of those was like 3 months ago, didnt even renew my subscription for that one..that always does the trick.
God Bless. - Chris

Java,
Robitusin is for the dextromethorpham (sp?). Not something I would recomend. It was a replacement for the opiate buzz that was gone durring w/d and it also slows down the respritory system like opiates do so it helped with the racing heart beat and breathing of w/d. Basicly it was just the best over the counter replacement. I would not recomend it. Bad stuff........
But I did LOTS of stuff I'm not proud of when I was using. I had a 60 - 90 Norco a day habit and when I ran out it got UGLY. And I still had to work...... so this was the only way I got through.
peaceout

Chris,
Glad you are felling better. best thing you can do the keep the recovery going is to exercise. I know it sounds basic, but it works. Sweat it out of your system and exercise will also help rebuild muscle and the neurons in your brain. Amino Vital (branch chain amino acids) and vitamins will also help you get back to normal. I was very surprised at how well the Amino Vital worked on my recovery...I took it for years as part of my training program but when i got hooked on lortabs i pretty much quite racing bikes. Now i'm back on the bike and getting back into form again..good luck and I'm glad things are solid again, Ha!

Johnny-
You did things your not proud of while using? My god your the first *wink*
Your not kidding..........I used to let guilt rule me, literally and had this (F the world attitude) I thought why did it matter, I have already screwed up.
I am starting to feel differently, slowly, finally getting some good help. It is hard though, in my head more than my body. But I can honestly say for the first time, while I have a bad moment here and there, I am excited for once, about life. Is a great feeling.
Oh, You went to work? I had to do that a few times.........and my god, It was hell on earth I mean it. People had to know something was wrong, I thought I was so good at hiding it. I wasnt.
Was curious on the DXM, I heard something on the news before about it..........Teenagers abusing it or something ridiculous. But during withdrawals I would try anything to feel better, I mean ANYTHING..........(dont recommend it ever)
You keep it up, Glad your here, and keep posting okay. I am still working on it but love to listen to other's stories.
Hugs.
