WILL I STAY LIKE THIS?

For those of you who have been reading my crazy rants, I am on day 3 of the ibuprophen version of vicodin. Here is my question. I went about 3 and half to 4 weeks taking 60 5's and 60 7.5's for 120 total. This morning I dry heaved and had a small other problem. Anyway, since this is my 3rd time of going through this in 5 years, which I swear  I never will again, and since I abused my body so harshly, will my anxiousness and other overwelming feelings stay around longer, or never go away?? At 1:00 p.m. it has been 72 hours since my last one. Please respond and help me out. I forgot how long this was.

I promise you this isn't going to last much longer.  You actually are  almost through the worst of the physical part.  Days 3-5 were the hardest for me.  You have come so far, there's no turning back now!  Drinking lots of Gaterade REALLY helped me, i don't know why, maybe because i was dehydrated & that was adding to the physical pain of the detox??  Hang on, real relief is right around the corner.

Hi again, glad to see you are hanging in there.  It is different for everyone and if I remember correctly you were taking very large amounts right?  Typically its bad for 3-5 days and then you just feel weak and lifeless for another couple of weeks.  Just remember this is a temporary thing you are feeling, if you can stay strong and hold out this WILL pass and you'll get a little clarity back.  Did you ever go get your liver enzymes tested?  

Remember to stay hydrated, take immodum to stop the trots and eat when you can.  Lots of hot showers got me through detox laying on the shower floor.

Keep posting - you CAN do this.
