day 6 of c/t from vikes...

[jumperprincess]

Day six,still puking and horrificly anxious..pls help!

[jumperprincess]

Yeah,the anxiety is hell. So hard to deal with on top of my marriage falling apart.i just started eating again.....chicken soup,ensure,mashed potatoes and juice. I feel like an infant. And the worst part is not knowing when or if my hubby will take me back.its hell on earth alright.....

[Ilovemesomejulie]

Congrats! The worst part is over.. Although I'm sorry to hear about you separating with your hubs.. I'm clean for 23 days now and I had to go to the emergency room a lot because of my vomiting and dehydration. I am still dealing with my vomiting. I was in the ER just this morning because I woke up at 3 am puking and I couldnt stop. I have a disease called cyclic vomiting syndrome so dealing with that and withdrawling, it was hell. I'm still refusing opiates but the non opioid drugs don't really work well and then I almost always get crazy anxiety and ask to be discharged even though my stomach still hurts. I pretty sure it's the nausea meds they give me that makes me react so weird. Zofran seems to been what helps me the most with the puking. I'm still having a hard time eating. Also smoking pot really helped me though the anxious times. My diet is very bland and usually I won't throw up if I stick to simple food. Chicken noodle soup, peaches, grapes, crackers, and not fried chicken. I also take a double dose of Prilosec a half hour before I try putting anything in my stomach. Maybe once your all good any feeling like yourself, your husband will understand the hell you've been living in. Good luck with everything!

Hi princess,

Anxiety is the worst - it wreaks havoc with your mind and body - and you're dealing with withdrawals on top of it all. I'm sorry about your marriage - it's a tough situation you're in.

Congratulations on your clean time - you're hanging tough through a difficult situation - be proud of that!  Make sure you continue to stay hydrated and when you start feeling the stress building up, try some deep breathing exercises or meditation - it really helps.

Well wishes to you, and keep posting so we know how you're doing...

Well....my husband and I have seperated and I'm staying with my parents. Today is day eight or nine,I think. I had to go to the er yesterday to get Iv fluids and they gave me meds to help at home. My life situation still *****,but I'm psyiclly feeling better I guess.hopefully things will work out w my hubby,cause I'm so anxious wo him....

[Free2agoodhome]

Hi

Anxiety can sux...try to let it jsut pass through,,,don't let it stay,,,,

My fav detox food was Stouffers macaroni and cheese.  Easy to eat no dishes and soft on the stomach. Get some fruity smothie drinks..they are kinnda high but taste good and has some vitamins.

You are just about through the rouch stuff. Congatulations.

Hang in there.you'll be turning the corner soon....

[waterLilly7]

That anxiety is a real b*tch. It will go away, I promise. It was my worst issue with WD, but it did go away, even though I thought it wouldn't, just like everyone here said, it will, and it did, hang in there, you are doing great!

please get ensure!

hugs,
Lily

I do feel a lot better when I am active,I did throw up a lil before,but just delt with it and kept on cleaning and vacumimg sp?. Anyway I defintitly think the reason I am still puking is 50 percent deydration and 50 percent paralyzing anxiety.i almost lost my marrige over this,my husband has still not completly forgiven me,and whenever he leaves for work I FREAK OUT! It's so weird.then when its time for him to come home my symptoms seem to ease up...I have always thrown up as a response to stress and wd is making it skip much worse...

[dominosarah]

Try some pudding,malts, shakes etc.  They seem to slide down easier.  Walking the dog will help with the anxiety.  The more you are up and moving the better you will feel.  Keep it going~

[waterLilly7]

good for y ou!!!

please get the ensure for when you cant have a meal. It saved me. I made sure I ate three meals per day, and if I couldn't eat, which was usually the case, I drank the ensure. It really helped with stomach issues, becaue you know how like if you are hungry but can't eat then you start to feel nauseous? so yeah, get that Ensure. I used it even three weeks into the WD because some of those days, even though I was feeling so much better, still had my appetite a little funny.
Take vitimins too ok?

Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing. Pretty soon you will be feeling so good, liek I am, and so happy that you took control and quit.

hugs,
Lily

Well,its morning. Was able to get up and walk the dog with only slight gagging! Lol. Aniexty seems lower too. Just took .5 of kolonopin and some immodium...oh and was able to eat a slice of pizza,some water with mio in it and a few crackers last night. Hoping I'm starting to turn the corner!

[ashka747]

I'm the same way with the anxiety.  I don't have any advice for you as I struggle myself.  Just wanted to let you know you're not alone. I would take the Prozac.

[needoffthisnorco]

I mean vomiting stopped at 5 days, I felt better at 6 weeks

[needoffthisnorco]

Hello. I read ur story and it reminds me of my first wd. I puked for 5 days like 2 to 3 times a day. My stomach hurt so bad for 2 weeks. Heavy and stomach issues. Easy to vomit can cause it. Well it finally stopped for me with iced Gatorade, small chunks and crackers. Pepto helped my stomach pains. Diarrhea stopped 4 to 5 days after and cuz finally took Imodium which I should of taken day 3 ad to not dehydrate. So depends on person. If u are not holding any liquids at all go to dr. But If  u sip and don't vomit - then on. Keep trying, I was good 6 days. Stomach pains for 2 weeks. Vomiting stopped after 6. And take crackers with any vitamins.

[jumperprincess]

Well,I am still alive. Had a baaaad morning with puking and anxiety,but better now? Got some kolonopin to help. I still don't feel like I can eat,tho. Trying to drink water and gatorade.also having horrible seperation anxiety when my husband goes to work cause of our almost divorce....anxiety worsened by wd? And should I take my prozac? Will it help? Got some immodium too....

[stilltrying1965]

HI well done on dxay 6 keep fighting you are doing it NOW. keep it up. you will feel a bit out of sortes. But your doing great never give in my friend. Its posible if your determind and you seem to want to beat this and you can. I am a herion addict but clean for 613 days. the rewards are amazing. stick in there my friend. Good luck and never stop fighting i still fight today . but not nearly as much as i used to.,,,,,,,James

[jumperprincess]

Mabey 25mgs a day. And I do have a weak stomach and vomit from anxiety. Also almost lost my marrige,so I am super stressed!

[Ben727]

Hmm, how many mg were you taking every day? And do you vomit easily? My opinion is that a light user with a strong stomach would have stopped puking after day 3 or so max. A heavy user with a weak stomach could definitely carry that symptom into day 4. Never hurts to see a doctor if you can. Puking is definitely something that happens with WD, but these boards are no substitute for an MD...

[jumperprincess]

Well,i was a lil off...yesterday was day four...today day five. Have a bit more energy and quagmire,but still incredibly anxious and dry heaves,shaking and can't eat...this *****.

[jeannine1976]

Good job on Day 6! That's no small accomplishment and it sounds as though you're hanging in there despite feeling badly. I have every faith that you'll begin to feel better any time.

In the meantime, a trip to the doctor would be wise. Even if it's anxiety that's causing the stomach upset and not something else, you need to get it under control. Your body needs to keep food and water down if it's going to heal well. There are both OTC and prescription meds that can help you, but first you need to find out what's causing the problem.

Please keep us posted!

[waterLilly7]

hey Friend,
congrats on quitting!!!

if your stomach is still upset you should do what Kyle said and talk to a doc.
Can you go to the ER?

Maybe it is because you are not hydrating or not eating? gatoraide and other similar drinks are good, and if you can't eat, drink ensure. If you are not eating it will help make you more nausous.

The anxiety is normal and it will go away.

Please tell us more,
hugs,
Lily

[kyle505]

Being anxious is fairly normal. Puking, not so much. Maybe call your doc tomorrow if no change. And try to replenish electrolytes.
