Still going...

Ok so I am on day three of withdrawals. I have had to work everyday, and just wondered if w/d's come in waves. Like I feel fine one min, and than the next I am hot all over and cold, and anxiety kicks in. I just wonder how much longer. My drug habit was perks 10 mg five a day and I was on them 8 months. Also can't drink my usual diet drink anymore it is making me sick as a dog. What is up with that?

I would hold off on the Cider Vinegar for a week or so, or are you using it as a cleanse for your withdrawal???.......That has to be a serious  "GutBomb!"  

Congrats on day 3 and still managing to WORK.......OIY!

Luv,

The only thing I am taking is BRAGG organic apple cider vinegar.  three teaspoons in a glass of water three times a day.  I am also using Medical Cannabis.  Cannabis really helps with the withdrawls.   In the past I have had VERY VERY bad leg kicking.  At night they would kick HARD about every 30 seconds and that was through the whole night.  This time I have not experienced the leg kicking as much.  I am having very bad headaches and my blood pressure is quite high.

Oh and I also take Lexapro that was prescribed for depression about a year ago.  And 100mg of Trazadone at night for sleep.  God bless all the people looking for answers. I hope you find peace and happiness.

for me they did come in waves...working is not easy..but for some staying busy can help...staying home and thinking about how bad u feel is not always the best remedy.we r all different....be sure u drink plenty of water..take ur imodium if u have the runs...if u need sumpin for sleep be sure to address it cos if u r working u need ur sleep/everyone does and it is important to recovery...lack of sleep can make one very weak.....keep posting

  It is good that you are still able to work!  When you get home, try a hot bath, some chicken noodle soup or something for your stomach,  you will need the energy from some kind of food.  Be good to yourself and know that you are just abt. over the hump now and you will feel better soon.    The anxiety is common too, just try to know it for what it is,  it will come and go too.

  You are still in withdrawls, tomorrow will prob. be bad too.  Get the immodium, otc pain meds, going.  The hot and cold thing is very common too.  All this should be starting to get better after tomorrow.  For now try to treat the symptoms.
