Day 12 off of Vics

Up until day 9 I had no diarreha and even now its really not too bad,its the cramping thats really hitting hard.Could it of taken a week of wd before kicking in? I also have IBS so could going off pills caused a flair up? I having been trying to get as much fiber into me-Im alittle weary of using imodium because of the IBS. Any ideas or suggestions?

I also have IBS I had the diarreha bad from day 3 until last Fri. I am now 25 days clean. Last Fri I stopped with bathroom trips and now today I have them again. BUT I can tell the differance todays is IBS so you  could be starting back with your IBS. I had some people tell me to use imodium but others said no let the poison out so that is what I do. I can not use imodium because of the IBS so good luck with your trips to the bathroom and hang in there it gets better good luck and prayers to you.

I've been told Valerian root is good for anxiety and restless leg syndrome as well as helps a little with cramps.  Take magnesium or eat lots of bananas for the cramps though....good luck and congrats! hope you stay clean!!!

Hi Heather , withdrawals treats everyone a little differently and it just takes a little time . You are twelve days out so I would think you are going to start feeling pretty darn good very soon ! So keep moving forward and the good days will eclipse the bad ones I promise !  Jimmy

I would think all of this goes hand in hand.  Takes awhile for our internal organs to get back to normal so i suppose it is time for that to kick in.  Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids and if it gets to bad make sure you get checked out.

Congrats on 12 days!!!!  You are doing great~~~~~~sara
