[Silk2197]

I went to walmart and got vitamins and fruits and everything. Even got a small appitite last night but threw up the apple i ate soon after. I want to take the vitamins to heal faster but my body wont allow me to put anything in it!
I appreciate any advice....oh im coming off methadone as of Dec 27th.

So happy for you that you are feeling better. :)  
start to eat small bites of food to start., crackers,soups,yogurt,

Vitamins on a empty stomach could defintely upset it. I would hold off.

Thanks Gnarly, I appreciate your advice! My energy isn't that low.....I got up and did al the laundry today while the kids were in school. I was wonderng if I can take the vitamins with just gatorade in my body. I am feeling better everyday as you all have stated I would.  I a going to just take it day by day and keep posting because its seems to be the only thing I can depend on for advice. My brain feels a lil yuky right now but for most of the day yesterday It felt fine. Just wish I can take my vitamins but don't wanna upset my stomache again......thank again <3

I have been able to keep liquids down since this afternoon.....=)  thanks for your advice everyone! Still cant sleep longer than 2 or 3 hrs at a time but i know this wont last forever! Still haven't eaten tho but the gatorade should be alright for now.

[lulu747]

I'm sorry you are suffering so much...I know it's awful....Listen-I have Crohns and often have nausea and can't keep things in.  Pedialyte like sarah suggested is good..small sips.  If you aren't having bad diarreaha- you can get a Gravol suppository (OTC)..This always helps me when I can't keep anything in-it's stops the vomiting and gives some relief.....If you can't get fluids down please go to the ER...Dehydration is awful and can be dangerous...Hang in there....Lu

[dominosarah]

Get some pedialyte.  They also have popsicles with that in it too.

[Silk2197]

Im trying that.....it makes me nauseated till i throe up.....but i will keep trying. Thanks

[atthebeach]

Get immodium. Take small sips of gatorade.juice.water every 10 or 15 minutes. It is very important to stay hydrated. Don't worry about eating now. Just try to keep liquids in. if you continue to vomit and have diarrhea you will dehydrate.the dehydration makes you feel much worse.
You went cold turkey from 10-20 mgs of meth?

3 days! And i dont have a Dr. I dont even have medicaid here in GA.....im can't do compizine, that makes me feel like im outta my mind...lol. But phenergan sounds pretty nice right now! I have a Dr. In michigan but i dont think he will call me in a rx.....ugh!

If all else fails,,,you may need to go to the hospital (ER) or urgent care to get some IV fluids to rehydrate. How many days have you been vomiting/diarrhea?

[Bkitty]

Hi Im sorry you feel like crap,,from what I understand from reading here,,methadone is a lil trickier to come off of than most other opiates. Your withdrawal can last several weeks. Im sure you are figuring that out already,,Im sorry. Can you call your doctor and get an antinausea medication to help ease the w/d?? Like compzine,,phenergan or zofran? Try a clear liquid diet,,jello,,broth,,gatorade,,in small amounts. I do know if you take the supplements on an empty stomach they will make your tummy more upset,,,,at least it did for me. Gnary should be along soon,,he may have some better advice. Try and take it easy,,slow and steady wins the race. You are doing great!!~Bkitty
