Can't believe I made it this far, thanks to everyone that helped me gt through the night.  I feel even worse this morning, but am NOT turning back.  I'm never going through that again, not ever.
My biggest problem right now is the shakes. it's getting really hard to type so if you lose me for a while, that's why.  I have to try and go in to work for a coupld of hours this morning, but will be back before noon.  I'm not sure how I'm goign to do this, I feel so weak, but I have to go.
I have a program called DragonNaturally Speaking that will type what I say using a microphone.  I use it for long reports because i''m  such a rotten typist (still do the 2 finger thing) so I'm going to try that, not sure if it will work on this forum but I'm hoping.
My stomach is just in knots, feels like someone is twisiting it around, and these legs just won't stay still.  I pray that this gets just a little bit better soon.  The oxazepam really helps, managed to  sleep about 3 hours, which I'm so grateful for, fell aleep with the TV on and woke up to see porn on the tv, not at all what I wanted to see first thing. lol
a big thanks to all of you, you are lifesavers

Ginger tea and a medication called Bentyl (dicyclomine) is used for abdominal cramping (Bentyl) and Ginger for nausea.... Believe me it works. Phenergan (promethazine) also works for nausea, but it's RX only.  Immodium AD (loperamide) for diarrhea, it's also called a "kick pack".. Peace, -Taylor-

You have a lot of folks in this board that are on your side. I would recomend diphenhydramine (benadryl) as sleep adjunct. It actually sounds to me like you still have a couple to several days of discomfort (!) to endure. Maybe smoothie type yogurt shakes would help your abdominal cramps some.

Stay strong at all costs. You do have everything in life on the line right now. I do not mean this to be pessimistic, but I sure didn't make it my first shot. On that other hand....life is much nicer now that I don't have to plan stashes for vacations, or look up various methadone clinics between home and relaxation. Its nice to be free.

God Bless you, dear.  My heart goes out to you.  You have to do this.  It can't go on forever.  Drink lots of water.....lots. and try some peppermint tea for the nausea  it works for me.   You are in my prayers.

Luv,
Nauty...............
