Casper,

I just got up for the day, having my coffee and see that you have 6 posts on the first page. the top 3 posts are yours. That tells me that you are in distress. If you are having hallucinations, please go to the ER. Do not wait until tomorrow. This is not normal as a symptom of withdrawal.

Stay within one post so members can follow and help you. Let us know how you are doing. Please go now!!!!!

ok, casper

now, make sure you're drinking a lot of fluids and i mean a lot of them ( water, gatorades, aquarius..) to keep running your system, organs and brain  and to help detoxing through sweating, it's essential keeping hydrated.

Another user just posted this..

By the way the hospital didn't do much. They said they offer no detox there and I have to look around for one after the weekend but I am so ready to go be locked up for a couple of weeks right now regardless of anything else.

good hearing from you, casper !

we're worried , you know...

it seems we're our worst enemies and we think that we can do all by ourselves...what ga guy said in his thread is the plain truth and we make things worse being that way...  but it doesn't have to be this way... you don't have to wait more for the worst to come to just ask for medical help, pls. It's not a matter of being tougher than anyone else or having the willpower to endure whatever comes here and then having to give up. It's a matter of not hurting your health more than it's already been harmed ...your system, organs, brains are already hurting enough and asking you to help them and to do things better for them.

you're being really very brave ....take the next step, pls, casper :)

Hi Sarah ,

He sent me a message and is going to the clinic to tell them what's going on with him and see if he van get some meds to help calm him down. He said he was experiencing both auditory and visual hallucinations until today and that he is at his breaking point and even mentioned suicide but assured me he would not act on those thoughts, that's just how horrible he feels.

I wrote him back and tried to give him encouragement and asked him to update me asap, if I hear anything I'll post it.
