Sub withdraw natural remedies?

by non_user_help, May 31, 2008 09:59AM
My husband is on his 5th day of sub withdraw and he has not slept at all in two days?  Any help for the not sleeping, he took 3 advil PM and no help, he also took an ambien and nothing?

He's very sick to his stomach and in the bathroom every hour, he's hot then cold, chills and his back hurts really bad.

Can anything help?

been thru it here:
here's the deal with sub. You think your problems are over because you feel like you did before you ever took a pill, but it is not. The stuff is like 150 times stronger than morphine but it has some blocking thing that prevents you from getting high.
answer(s): Thomas Recipe and Amino acid recipe at the bottom right. I was skeptical, but they work.
1) go back on vicodin for a month and withdrwawl from that. it will be easier.
2) start the vitamines now.
warm baths too. yur skin is a living organism and these will help so much.

back on the vicodin does not sound like a great idea, he's 5 days in cold turkey, how long will the symptoms last if he toughs it out?
