Remind me how much you were taking and for how long? Percocet?
I think it's very tough the first 3 days and then it's annoying and then it's learning how to live without the pills...but it takes about 72 hours to eliminate the drug so that's why I said 3 days...
There are things that really help so don't ignore their importance. Fluids are the most important and then minerals. Your body just needs it!! Multi vits are great and get some extra capsules of magnesium and potassium to take,as well. It works right away for RLS!
It helps a lot to post on the forum so stay close!
Amanda,
great job, I wondered about you last night. It is going to get worse before it gets better. Day 3 with no pills was the worst day for me. By Day 4 and 5 physically, I was better except occasional stomach issues. I am still having sleep issues on Day 11 but nothing horrible.
How long will this w/d last?????
I will try hot showers. I dont have a bath in my apt. but I amtaking multi-vitamin. I slept but woke up like every 3 hours. I just hope I can stay like this not using
Thank you! Last night was really difficult but in hanging in there. How are you doing?
Amanda- Hot baths with Epsom salt really help. The magnesium in the salt is absorbed through your skin and it's very soothing and relaxing to the muscles. It's wonderful! Epsom salts are inexpensive and you can pick it up in most grocery or drug stores.
Don't dismiss vitamins and minerals either. You need them right now! Pick up some Cal/Mag supplements,as well,and force the fluids; especially Gatorade.
All the above works pretty quickly, too! Did you get any sleep?
