Check out stuff like Walgreens store brand of Ensure or any of the high protein nutrition shakes..........warm, flat, white grape juice - - - - stuff like prilosec (omeprazole) .........also try the L-Tyrosine as per the Thomas Recipe ...........cant endorse the tyrosine and do it justice..........also perks you up.......try it !!
Hi,
I am just on day 9 so I can definitely relate. I went back to work on days 7 and 8 and when I had something to do , I felt great. Now it's saturday and I have no energy either. I have been living on gatorade. Have you been able to eat? I can't eat too much yet. I've lost 10 pounds and I am thrilled about that! But, I think if I ate, I would have more energy. My son is at his dad's for the weekend and I feel really alone. You are so lucky to have such a supportive husband. That's was the hardest part for me, last weekend and the first few days I felt really alone.
I have been taking Melatonin and Valerian root to sleep. It has really helped. You are right about the coffee....but I have been drinking it and it almost makes me wired, but the energy doesn't last.
I felt great on day 5.....you made it!!! It's an awesome feeling isn't it? I couldn't even remember what it was like to be clean. I am really proud of you!!!!
Keep it up!

I am taking Valerian Root and Melatonin also. I still havent been able to sleep the whole night through. I have a ton of anxiety and I dont feel ok to drive to go get any vitamins because I am sooo shaky and I would have to drive my two children as well. I found some of my husbands centrum multi vitamins for men. I took one of those, hopefully thats ok being that I am not a man LOL. I really just want to feel ok again. I am going to send my husband out for some vitamins when he gets home from the car show. Hopefully these shake will start to calm down soon because I cant just sit on the couch all day. Plus my mother in law is stopping by and I have to be able to act normal around her because she has no idea about my addiction. Thankyou all for your suggestions!
You can order vitamins online from GNC so you don't have to go anywhere...of course tht does mean you have to wait from them to arrive. I think the vitmains realy help wih energy as does getting some fresh air and exercise so taking a walk with the kids would be great for you. If you get too tired you just go back home. Good Job!
