refusingbondage is right. It's called Thomas's recipe.
Day 3? Good for you!
5 to 7 is the worse then after that it is the mental end of it. I really think thats harder.
You will find yourself getting better each day and then hold on..... your mind wakes up and then its really fun. It's sorta like a awaking. Thats the best way I can explain it.

One day at a time.

Hello and welcome.  You've come to the right place for help and support.  Usually the physical withdrawal lasts from about 5-7 days.  If your on day 3 horray cause your almost over the worst of it.  If you don't work on weekends, you should definitely be physically able to return to work on Monday.  Lots of stuff can help - check out the amino acids page on the health pages (bottom right on main forum page).  I would recommend benadryl for sleep (or tylenol PM), immodium for the stomach issues and advil for the aches.  Hot showers or baths are SUPER helpful and the only place I felt remotely ok during withdrawal. Take as many as you can for as long as you can.  You really don't have that much further to go!  Recovery and the mental side of this is a lifelong thing.  Once the physical goes away we have the mental to deal with. Have you thought about any recovery plan??  Therapy, meetings, etc?? This forum is a great place for support also.  Best of luck - you can do this and congrats on day 3 -- thats a big deal!
