I helped my son with withdraw. He took advil every 4 hours, benedryl, immodium, and drank Gatorade. Take the medicine in the least amount of time recommended. It was like watching hell. I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, but it is possible if you want it. Good luck...try to stay positive and get thru one hour at a time, don't look at the long road ahead just try to get thru another hour. Then be positive because you made it thru another one.
god bless

My son went through withdrawal at home, a couple of times. It got progressively worse. The first time, I didn't know what was going on. He just seemed "regular sick" - had a semi-rough couple of days and then was fine. Several months later, he detoxed at home and I stayed with him. It was bad. We'd gone to his therapist and asked what to expect. Immodium is supposed to help, but I don't know about that. It was really horrible. I don't know if we're allowed to post links on here. So I'll say: Google "how to quit heroin cold turkey" that's how we found some information we thought would help him get through. He was very very cold. Hot showers helped. Get a lot of blankets, too. he went thru this in the winter, maybe the symptom of being cold won't be as bad this time of year, I don't know. If at all possible, try to get into a medical detox. A nurse will monitor you and you'll be given rx for nausea, etc.
