WOW!  4 days is great!!!!  It is true what has been said before me....you need to get up and move around!  I know that it is hard but once you do it it will feel better!  I got hit with a huge wave of depression a few days into my detox and it felt overwhelming!  I just came here and posted and got some good responses and it helped!!!  I started back to work right after that and it helped a lot being busy all the time!  Are you working now?  If not just get out and do something that you enjoy doing!!! And keep posting it really helps!!!!

I found that i was getting too far into my own head during detox. You need to get out of your head, music, movies (comedies especially), these will help with the emotional changes that come with detox. More than likely you will go up and down with the depression, dont make it any worse. Go for a walk, i know its hard, but force yourself!!!!!

Congrats on 4 days clean!!!  That is a great achievement!!  Try to get up and move around as much as you can.  Gotta get those natural endorphins working again!  Do you battle with depression when you arent taking pills?
