It's day 10, yesterday I started taking Multivitamins, 5-htp , Essential Amino Acid, and melatonin.  It seems to already be helping with my anxiety but I still have bad diahrrea, is that normal for day 10.  Plus today I feel down not that happy, but over all I'm feeling better today.  I only slept about 4 hours last night if that, wish I could sleep more but I can't seem to sleep.  I just want to be able to sleep!  Is taking the stuff I am helping or is that not enough?

Great job getting to Day 10 !!!!  I'm on Day 17 and I can say that I still have the stomach and sleep issues, but they are getting better each day :)  I just keep thinking "I'll take these small inconveniences over a PILL any day !!!!!!  Keep up the great work and drink LOTS of water, I still do and it really helps.  It will get better and that's the way we have to think each and every day.  Look ahead and not back and you will be just fine :)))

Way to go on 10 days clean.  Today is my 10th day as well and for some reason every day is a rollercoaster. Some days great some not so good,  From all I have read and what I believe it can only get better day by day.  For me I was on a serious 3 year run so I can't expect to feel 100% in just a 10 Days.  I know however that I am in a much better place than I was 10 days ago.  Things can only get better from here as long as we stay clean.  I just started going to N/A meetings and they seem to be helping me alot with my emotions.  Give it a try if you can and keep up the good work.  Remember you are worth it.

Make sure you're taking the 5htp and any other supplements that help with energy in the morning.... I used to take an immodiumm, a benadryl and a melatonin or two before bed, especially the first 2 weeks.... My sleep started to return to normal around 3 weeks in bit by bit.... definately get out in the sunshine and exercise if you can. I believe it was around day 9 or 10 when I hit an emotional wall.... I cried and cried because I was actually experiencing my emotions again for the first time in a long time. It's great now... 43 days in and I'm amazed at the difference! Keep going you're doing great!

the vitamins really seem to be helping.  I feel good right now over all.

Congrats on day 10. I'm not an expert on if you should take more things but try exercising and more fluids. Your body is dehydrated from the diarrhea. Exercise will increase natural endorphins. Congrats!!!!!!
