Day 6

I feel pretty good. Still have runs, is that normal? My energy level is 100% better. Day 1-3 just suck!! My advice, stay busy and take walks.

I am right behind you I am a day 5. I didnt have to much physical pain, well not to me anyways (after having 3 kids being beat by my ex's beat me up all the time). What has gotten to me is the not being able to sleep much and the lack of energy. Keep up the good work WE CAN BEAT THIS DEMON!!!

Congrats on the 6 days......I am right behind you brother @ 3.5 days.  I crawled around the house all weekend and was pretty miserable and had a pretty bad night of sleep but I definitely feel a little better.  I have had some pretty horendous cravings and I too just started having the lower end problems.....I recommend taking some Immodium to combat the lower end stuff.  In my experience of detoxing 1000 times it can last up to two or even three weeks depending on how bad your system is going.....It is completely normal to go an entire week but after that you will notice that it will start to get more solid each day and eventually it will go away completely.....Watch out though, because having normal movements is something new for us pill freaks!  Good luck and congrats on the 6 days!

Sometimes the runs can extend out that far but normally its in the first 4 days it hits fairly hard..One thing that threw me a curve was able a week in I actually picked up some real flu symptoms which had me confused as to what was going on..If the runs are still bothering you, grab some Immodium as it really is good stuff..Glad your feeling better in the energy dept. Thats a good sign you may get thru this quicker than other's normally do...:)
