48 hours and think im dying

[cid5693]

I'm still hanging on. Throwing up gagging terrible. Did get 2 hours of sleep. Feel like I'll never sleep again. When is this nightmare over.

Hope you're hanging in there.  So many supportive ppl here.  You can do this.

How are you feeling?  You should be getting over the worst of this very soon.  As soon as you can manage, try to get some fresh air and a little bit of exercise; it really will make a big difference.  Be sure to keep yourself hydrated and get some food down as soon as you are up to it.  Hang in there; it will get better.  Keep us posted on how you are doing - we are here for you :)

This part is only temporary so keep fighting.  I know you feel awful, i remember that well but brighter days are ahead.  Lean on us as we are here to support you.  You can do this~

Just think, you will NEVER have to go thru this again if you just stay the course. Tell yourself you have the flu (little bits advice). Tomorrow will be better. Distract yourselve with music and mundane task. Exercise will speed things up even a short walk . You have to go thru it to get over it and you are doing GREAT! Stay strong and keep tapping in for words of encouragement. Hugs are on the way.....

It gets better, been off methadone for 4weeks, went threw some bad days when i did my last decrease, but it does get better, make sure you drink plenty of water, if your vomiting your loseing all your water, its very important, dehydration is serious stuff been there not fun, if you hate water i understand i force my self to drink it, but its needed, good luck and God bless you John

Keep on moving forward. You're making progress. Stay in the now, forget about the future and the past. Take it one minute, hour and day at a time. You're going to get through this. You're our next miracle!

2days is great!!  It's not a walk in the park but you will be so much stronger after the worst of this battle is over. Which will be very soon!  
Do everything you can to stay hydrated. It's is very important part of getting through it.  If you can get a hold of some coconut water it's awesome!!

[neveragainplease]

It will get better soon. You're in the hard part but it is worth it.

yes, hang in,,,, you are near the peak of this mountain, don't look back, one step at a time, one hour at a time... take a long bath, say to yourself that you can do it !!! you will sleep again only not now, you are saving your life, to hell with insomnia although i know it is one of the most tiring things in the world but active addiction is much worse, keep walking one day more, cid !!:)

Staying hydrated is really important.  Try drinking a shot glass of clear liquids, Gatorade,  ginger ale, etc.  Popsicles can also help with hydration.

Just a few more days and the worse is over. After that its just lingering milder stuff. I'm on day 23 and it's still no party but its not like that first week.  But you already have two days in no use going back now and wasting all that misery right! And I know the hell on earth from withdrawls trust me I went cold turkey off of a serious pill and heroin habbit. And yes I did not think I would make it. Though I might die and all of that. But you will not. You will make it through. I never thought I would get past those first 4-5 days but somehow I did. Just keep posting and try to distract yourself. Your brain will start to heal and you will feel better before you know it.
Ps. I did not sleep 5 minutes for six entire days! I didn't even think that was possible!
Hang on in there :)
