I guess you are all right because I am probably dehydrated but I am trying my best to drink water and keep it down. I hope I can sleep tonight but I'm not counting on it. I prepare for the worst but hope for the best

So I take it you are going cold turkey without any other support.
I tell you if you can see a doc and get some Gabapetin you will be able to stop all the WD's. This stuff really works very well. It's used in detox clinics all over the US because it works so well. Why go though all this pain when you don't have to unless you want to make sure how bad it is not to re use?

Ginger can help some but their is better anti-nausea meds a doc can give you.
Wishing you the best

Just forget about the pee girl!! Are you doing your best to stay hydrated? I know it's hard when your nauseated and vomiting, but it's so important. Just small sips, as much as you can tolerate. I hope that this passes and you are able to get a little rest tonight. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully a better one!

LMAO... Thanks for the laughs. I will get some ginger in the morning. I tried alkaseltzer but it was so nasty it made me sick. So I guess that rules out pee too if I can't even handle alka seltzer... Lol

OH I am sorry you feel bad too..I agree with the Ginger. Ginger is shaped like the Stomach so it is good for the Stomach. A Tomato is shaped like a Heart so that is good for the Heart AND a Walnut looks like a Brain so it is good for the Brain..I seen that on Dr Oz..Just hang tight and go with the flow Girl..You can do this I JUST KNOW YOU CAN!!!!!
Bless

Id try it without the urine first (but each to his own, eh?! [Grin.] It actually tastes good & it works well. You got any in the house? Is there anyone who can get it for you around?

  one thing I tried and I don't think I have read it here is ALKA SELTZER. I was so nauseated during my first 2 days and I had a headache and I took the original alka zelzer, it helped me so much. Maybe you could try it. I sure hate that feeling but it does pass.  Hope you feel better.

I am only 30 days clean from oxycodone, but my first few days of detox I hopefully will never forget. When I would get tempted to give in, I would ask myself, "You really want to be free don' t you?" I would blame the physical symptoms on the pills (no kidding)
And then I would read the posts on this site for hours at a time. Everybody here was so inspiring, I wanted quality clean time and a clear head too! I think that it is our birthright (which we surrender to a bottle of pills)
You are going through a rough patch, but this too shall pass.

Here's a recipe for what my buddy Ric mentioned. It's a potent anti-nausea medicine. Take a 1" square piece of ginger, peel it, squeeze it through a garlic press into a mug, throw the pulp for good measure, pour simmering water into the mug & let it steep for 5 mins. (I gave this recipe to someone yesterday or the day before & it worked for them.) Hang in there Rosy, you can do this! Keep your eye on that prize!

I'm sorry you are feeling so rough. During my detox, I always had the roughest time in the evening and at night. I'm not sure what that was about. Hang in there and fight this. Try some ginger. It really does help. Please don't give up. This will pass and then you will have your life back very soon.
