Thanks....You are too great.....love you all cin
hey there momma donna:
welcome to the forum(there is always room for one more!).
so your daughter wants off the big herion bird? your post
sounded as if you have the beginings. first of all: do not let
your daughter medicate herself!
now this next part isn't exactly legal so-- use your judegement.
maybe add:
injectable visteral
injectable codiene (or codiene tablets oral)
lots of l-tyrosine (use Thomas's detox formula)
give just enough codiene to take the edge off (1-3 grains) im
only. taper this off rather rappidly.
administer the visteral liberally. again im only. if you give
her this stuff with codiene, she may not realise when she isn't
getting any codiene, and just visteral.
save the tranks and sleepers for later she (and maybe you) will
need them!
If your daughter wants to leave the house, let her. if she is
above legal age you can't hospitalise her against her will. if
she doesn'r want to talk or sleep or what ever, don't make her.
Momma your a RN so use your training and common sense here.
i won't bullshit you- both of you are in for the ride of your
life! Opiate detox (even heroin) won't kill you, it will make
you wish to die, but it rarely kills. monitor her blood pressure
and have cattapres (spelling) to keep it below the level that
her cranium might blow off. the first 72 hours are going to be
real bad. your daughter won't be lilely to walk off and score.
the following 2-3 weeks are when she will most likely relapse.
good luck and the speed of all the gods!
keep an angel on both your and her shoulder!

ps: post closer to the top, it makes your posting available
to more people--good luck and hope to hear more!!!
I wish Brighty were here...she had a daughter with heroin problems...I know how you feel,,,I am also a nurse and when my kids get hurt I scream for my husband...lose all professionalism...as far as detoxing from herion..is there any way you can convince her to go into a safe rehab facility? I don't know much about it...I did the demerol dance several years back and that alone was hell...Skipper may be the one to talk to....let me see if I can e-mail him for you hang tight Love to all cin
Hi , My daughter is at home with me and trying to detox from heroin. She last used yesterday, 1/4 of a pill. She has a couple of clonopins and I have ativan 1 mg and ambien 5 mg that I am hoping will help. She is very restless and feels feverish and just wants me to leave her alone. I am afraid that she will convulse and tried to get her to go to the hospital, but she doesn't want to. How can I help? I bought immodium and motrin and some vitamins niacin, mag and calcium but she doesn't want to take them due to nausea.
Any help anyone can give would truly be appreciated. I am an RN and feel so helpless to help even being in the medical profession doesn't prepare you for this and seeing someone you care for in such pain and discomfort. Thanks and God Bless!
You do what makes you Happy! Don't let a control freak run your life. I am sure trying to get off the pills isn't helping your mental and emotional state. But speaking from experience here.....If anything he says or does to you, doesn't make you feel good or better about yourself. If he cant' be there for you emotionally, physically and spiritually. YOU don't need him. He is just a leech who will suck the life out of you. Do for yourself. Make yourself number 1. He doesn't deserve someone like you. You are honest, compassionate and caring. Sounds to me he could take some cues from you. Be strong.....Susan
