Help needed! On day 4

[Stungbythebee]

I've never posted but have been reading for months. I'm on day 4 cold turkey from 30-45mg Percocet a day. Haven't had too bad symptoms but I feel like I'm carrying a 2 ton weight when I try to get up to do anything! Just hoping for some encouragement.

Hi honey, put yourself on the BRAT diet, Bananas,Rice, Applesauce and Tea. Drink lots of tea and water and water because the diarrhea will dehydrate you very quickly and that has it's own problem. Dark chocolate is very binding as well. Eat and drink only these items. Gatorade has too much sugar to to be useful in my opinion.  Stay strong, you're doing Great! Happy almost day 3.

Oh how I wish I could take some Imodium!! That's all I've done is go to the bathroom!!!!!  Drinking Gatorade. Tried to drink some broth but as soon as it hit my stomach it was back to the bathroom. I go from being hot to cold I can't even figure out what I am! But I'm trying to keep positive but it's really hard!! Check back in a while. :•(

Good morning. I slept off and on but was up often because of the diarrhea!! I can't take immodium because of my recent issue with a bowel blockage. Just lying in bed right now. I feel so weak. I guess I need to start drinking some of the Gatorade I bought. Sooo sleepy. Don't have any energy. Probably going to just take it easy today. Try to get as much sleep/rest as I can. That going to the bathroom every 1/2 hour really takes it's toll!!  I'm glad I flushed the pills because I know for sure I would have taken them a long time ago!!! So I'll check back in a bit.

Hi! I'm on day 18 off sub taper. You may have come across my posts. I just want to tell you about what I did for my rls. It was so bad my mom took me to er cuz I was punching and scratching my legs I couldn't take it! They were no help once they find out youre withdrawing its basically too bad so sad. So I did a lot of reading on here and found people used magnesium, potassium and I got GABA because that's like your body's natural nerve relaxer for lack of better words. I got them at a healthfood store. GABA is the only thing you cant get at your local pharmacy. I spent 15$ and it was a miracle. That night I took it and I had almost no rls and I slept like a baby. I also used a heating pad on my calves because they were the worst and also used Icy Hot. That smells awful but it helped me. And I wanted to say I admire you for flushing the pills. I could never in a million years do it if I hadn't started on a treatment program. You are a brave person so if you can do that than you can pull through the next week or so. As you've read its hard and I thought Id never reach this day. BTW I always have dreams of pills and I haven't had anything other than the suboxone in two years. Sometimes ive even woken up and thought I had them in my bed. weird. Good luck and everyone on here will help you get through. Reading old posts, new posts will pass the day away. and you may find a trick or two to lessen your wds.

Just woke up for the third time with soaked bed sheets! But I was smart this time! I folded 2 sheets so when this started I just take the top one off and change the pillow case! These cravings are killing me. I had a dream that I was in a glass room. There were these huge pills all around me taunting me. Making fun of me because I couldn't get out of the glass room to get them!! I'll check back in a little while. Thanks everyone!!!

I am here too. Just had to work from sun up to sun down in the yard. Getting things away for the Winter!

When you get the hot & cold put a cold towel behind your neck and also on the forehead. Just hang in..YOU have come to far now!
