Hi FLaddict. first of of congradulations on your success.  awesome job, 2 days ago I would not have realized how big a thing that, that is, way to go!. keep it up. So here is what I started doing as of today, which is day 1 i guess. its an ecliptic of just about everything i could find. but doses and such?  does anyone know if I am over medicating her? please let me know your advice, thoughts or experience? man I hope I am not doing more damage then good?
Vitiam B-6 3.5mg / Magnesium 150mg/Zinc 10mg all three in (1) pill 3 X a day.
Calcium 600mg (1) pill 2 X a day
Potassium Citrate 99mg (1) pill 3X a day
Copper 3mg (1) pill 3X a day
Multi-Vitiamine (1) pill 1 X a day
5HTP 50mg (2) pills 3 X a day.
B-Complex Liquid - 2 X a day.
Dark chacolate about a 1/2 a bar is what she is eating.
Bananas 2 -3 a day.
Omega 3 Fish Oil - 1000mg (1) pill 2 x a day.
St. Johns Wort 150mg (1) pill 2 X a day.
Nyquil - as needed at the moment 2 X's
Valerian Root 1605mg for (3) pills giving (1) pill 3 X a day.
Tagament HB2000 - (1) pill 2 X a day.

I have (4) Xanax for when the times get rough, but have been holding off on them. she wants to know she can go to sleep if it gets to bad.
I have L-Tyrosine and B-6 for day 4 when she needs energy.

She is achy, sleepy, but still smoking and drinking coffee (in the morning) its been 32 hours since she took her last pill.

Thanks a bunch,

Don't start Immodium until she needs it.. If she is achy hot baths will help also Motrin.. heating pad,etc.. I would say that today was officially her first day... Tomorrow will be the second day..
Good luck to both of you... I posted my amino acid post for you.. hope it helps..

Thanks FLaddict, hey, she hasn't ben having diarreah yet, so i haven't given her any Immodium yet, does that sound right to you? I followed your advice and have cutt the Nyquil, and Tagament out. she is resting right now, but i see signs of the achs and pains getting worse. she confessed to me that she had taken (4) pills at her mothrs on saturday morning before noon. since she knew this was it.  So I not sure what day were on maybe Day 2 its been 35 hours since her last use?

I would stick to the multi vitamin and only add the potassium if she is having RLS.. and calcium/magnesium at night b4 bed. the other vitamins like the zinc is probably in the multi and not needed extra..
The 5HTP doses are correct.. take with the B complex and some fruit juice. Everything else sounds good I would only use the Nyquil and Tagament if needed as a last resort as will as the xanax.. Taking those constantly will be over medicating the situation. Are you giving her Immodium pills for the diarreah?? Those can also help ease or take the edge of of withdrawl. I will post the amino acid therapy from the book END YOUR ADDICTION NOW so you can look over it and put her on that to help ease the transition from withdrawls, it can help with cravings depression, lethargy, and the after shocks of pills use by mending damage done to the neurotransmitters of the brain.. It saved my life..

I am sorry I am not knowledgeable about this but it does seem like a lot of stuff?? I was not a multi vitamin and taking other stuff and my Dr. said make sure the Multi Vitamin does not have what you are taking in it as well? That is all I know.
