I should have posted this in my other post..
I read somewhere on here that gatorade and bananas are good for withdrawls. I'm coming off of vicoprofen. Any suggestions to help ease some of the pain?
I've actually found that I can't really sit too long or lie down for a long time (restless legs) and I feel hot and cold constantly. I've taken some ibuprofen but haven't really been able to tell if it helps or not. I'm just taking everything minute by minute. I've been taking hot showers and that seems to help.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
Hey Valley,
Congrats on 2 days..You're doing well. I wish I could tell you what helps but I can't. I went into a detox, they gave me subutex and that helped. When I got home I had mono, got that I think from the detox, lol, so, I couldn't tell really which was part of the mono and which was part of the wd, I just kept popping motrin. And because I had mono, I couldn't stay awake anyway. So, I slept through it.

Valley,
The bananas are for the restless legs (potassium) Watch the gatorade though, I have heard not to drink it. Hot baths help alot.Good luck.

Gatorade isn't a good idea. I'm not sure why, but it really messes with your blood sugar and stomach. Stick with banana's or potassium pills.

Hey valley, welcome. Gatorade is a bad idea, stick with water and plenty of it. Use an electric blanket if the chills get really bad. hot baths help as well. vitamins too. stay strong.
Start reading, Travis. There are hundreds and hundreds of threads that are awe inspiring.
So glad you're here.

Two days is a very long time when if your like me you are literally counting down the seconds. You are doing great. A few things I have found helpful is Immodium for those wonderful stomach spasms and all that other fun stuff. Taking 2 Ibuprofen every four hrs. will help with some of the muscle and joint pain. I have horrible insomnia for several days after quitting cold turkey, and the only OTC med that has helped is the herb Melatonin. It worked wonders for me, you can get it at most any drug or health food store, I take one tab about an hour before bed and it allows me some sleep which if your like me is a GODSEND, and it is very inexpensive.
