Immodium is a med for diarrhea. It's also an opiate but it doesn't cross the blood/brain barrier. It does help a few other WD symptoms, too.
Yes, keep reminding yourself why you don't want to go down this path! It's a dead end. Exercise helps a lot so don't minimize that! When you're moving, you're producing endorphins and that will help your mood. Also, eating well and drinking plenty of fluids.
Take a look at the Amino Acid Protocol in the Health Pages. You'll be amazed! Scroll down and look toward the right...
Thanks I will! I'm going to throw the two bottles I have away...and yes I agree. I have friends who take too many pills to count a day, and I've been finding inspiration and motivation to quit through their struggle. Thanks again :)
Do you have any advice for the mental addiction aspect? I guess I just have to keep reminding myself....what the consquences will be if I continue.
Hello,,,,,,,,,,yes just quit, and be done.
You are very lucky to have avoided serious consequences...
stick around..

Thanks so much for the response! It means alot to have someone to speak with about this besides my Fiance. I agree....sometimes I think I may not be addicted psychically but mentally I believe I am. Which is so HORRIBLE! Okay so I will take your advice on the Immodium...is that for stomach pain? Never mind I'll just look it up lol. Okay so I took 1/2 a pill at 5:00 pm yesterday. Before that I didn't take one for two days....and I've been experiencing mild stomach aches, that come and go. But my mood is horrible lol. I will keep you updated, thanks so much again :).
Hi there- I doubt you are physically addicted to any great extent. I'd say just stop taking them and take some Immodium. The tummy issues should be the worst of it.
The mental and emotional part of this is another thing...I think you're dependent on an emotional level and that needs to be worked on. Only you know why you need a pill to be happy. Take a look at that and go from there...
