Hi again
A supplement is a vitamin..
It is something that "supplements" your diet.
Yes the supplements that I suggested, are ones that you can get at a good health food store..
In fact if you go to a really good specialty store, that ONLY deals with health products and vitamins, you can ask some of the sellers there what you are looking for and why. They can have an awful lot of knowledge and would not at all be surprised to have someone come in and tell them they need help to get through narcotic withdrawal...Most of them really know their stuff..
Congratulations, your doing great
Hugs

Is everyone gone?
oh I didn't know there was a second page. I am still throwing up and it has been 7 days, is that normal. I am not dehydrated, but I can't keep anything down. Did anyone out there have the stomach symptoms this long?
If you continue to throw up I would see a doctor or go to the ER.
Your doing great. Congrats on 7 days clean. That is a HUGE accomplishment.
Here is a list of some OTC med's/remedies that may help you. You shouldn't take them without talking to your doctor because none of us know your medical history.
I am sure you know what you can and cannot take. So here is a list. Click here.

If you continue to get sick please see a doctor. Drink a lot of water right now to stay hydrated.
Hang in there!! You will gradually start to get your energy back.
Your doing great!

First off...congratulations you are on your way! Everything you talk about not one of us here has NOT experienced what your going through at one time or another! As you describe your symtoms and talk about walking around your house....I am literally jolted back in time! Those feelings are horrible and tough to take....but the good news is...is that it does get better! I promise! You would be way way way worse off if at this point you think you find any comfort at all in taking a pill!
Keep going....please go to your Doctor and explain whats happening with you and be completely honest! Perhaps you need some counselling now...or a good program...meetings....or outpatient therapy! I am telling you it has made all the difference in my recovery from this insidious disease!
I hate to say this but....stopping the dope is the easy part!!! No kidding...now work on you! Drink tons of water..and keep walking around..its good for you...take some vitamins.....B12 was especially useful to me...and eat bananas the potassium in them is invaluable!
Welcome! and you are doing just fine!!

Hey there
If you are throwing up so much..you need to get some electrolytes in you a.s.a.p. Gatorade has some in it i think..read the label...im not trying to scare you but honestly, if you are throwing up that much, your electrolights are off, and if your blood presure is really high, you need to go o ER..you could even have a stroke if this continues..doesnt matter how young you are..this can happen..
Please see a Dr or the ER a.s.a.p. and post back let us know how you are..

thanks for all the responses. I made it through day 7, but when I look at my face in the mirror I can see that my eyes still don't look right (dilated). I have been begging my brain to please start making some endorphins, this is taking so long. I didn't eat anything today except a tiny bit of soup and some crackers because my stomach felt like it was digesting itself, so I haven't thrown up since this morning, but my stomach is still just rumbling. I have been drinking water and gateraide..... so I don't think I am dehydrated. I didn't take any ativan today thinking maybe that was messing with my brain chem. I just don't know what else to do except wait. I never would have dreamed that anything could be this bad. All of you who have been through this are SOLDIERS. The last thing I want is a pill. I just want my life back, and I am getting so tired of this. It really helps to hear it will get better, that is totally keeping me going right now. Thanks to all
Glad you are at least keeping down some gatorade since this morning..
and YES honey you definately WILL get better and better..you sound totally commited to staying away from those horrible addictive pills, which is great, and feeling as awful as we do when we withdraw is to remind us of that...
If we didnt suffer at all, do you think we'd learn our lesson as well??
hang in there love, your doing awesome..
