There are pretty simple methods for extraction that you may find by doing a good search.  
You still have a couple days of discomfort it would seem. Most people indicate that day 4 is the worst with things steadily improving after that. You may want to talk to a Doc about an antidepressant.....although some amino acids, 5-HTP or SAMe, are also reccomended............

You are not whining!  I'm on day 9 of the process, and those first few days were just horrible. Keep coming to these boards. They have helped me a great deal -- just reading other people's experiences let me know that I'm not alone, and neither are you. The people here know too well what you are going through. Just about anyone who has stopped opiates has experienced what you are to some degree. Some worse than others. Days 3-5 for me were the worst.  I just kept telling myself  that it would pass, and it did. I'm still struggling with symptoms of withdrawal, but they are definitely much less than they were five days ago. It will pass!  I've read a lot of posts about using the anti-anxiety medication klonopin, which is supposed to heal a lot with the anxiety and help you sleep. This, in combination with the other parts of the Thomas recipe (see the link at the lower right hand part of this page) seems to help a lot of people.  I did it without using the anti-anxiety meds (which I wish I had had).  Good luck, hang in there!

Can you get some anti-anxiety meds? It will take the edge off...but only get enough for liike 3-4 days, you dont want to get hooked on those.

I took Ativan for my first 4 days of WD and i must say it helped a lot. I also took B6, Milk Thistle, Detox tea, a good multi vitamin, Emergen-c, Iron Pills, joint supplmenet, Omega Fish Oil Pills...I didnt just take these for the WDs, i've been taking them for a while now...

Let me know if you need any other info on any of these...they helped me greatly. I'm on day 5 and I must admit, feel a lot better. Plus, for me, day 1-2 were the worst. Day 3-4 i felt i was getting better, eveyone is different. Hang in there, you're doing great!!!!

[wings444]

Aww ty very much, This is day 2 and I feel like **** but. I do have everything you just mentionsed. Should I be doing all that now???? Cause I'll do anything to feel better!!!
I just hope the vitamins dont make me feel sick>>??? I hope tommorrow there is a light at the end of this.
By the way how many adivans did you take each day??? Im not sure if Im taking to much or not enough???
Thankyou for your help

everytime i tried to stop, i felt the worst on day 3, and MUCH better day 4. hoping that's the same case for you! i know its hard, but try to stay busy, go to a local neighborhood and walk around, people watch!

have you thought about using subutex or suboxone as a tool to detox? you can safely use it for a week to avoid most of what you are feeling now....if it's truly that bad, just an idea.

i am on it now, a longer 6 week plan and taper, and it's been great!

Hang in there wings, you are through 2 days now. Since you c/t from 15 a day it will not be easy, but your gonna feel like a new person when this is over. Keep thinking of the reasons you quit and we are here for support. Let us know how you are.
