day 14 being clean opiates and dope

STILL have the runs... immodium does not help, just makes me **** every other day instead of twice a day, so i stopped taking it. NO SWEATS OR CHILLS (worst symptoms) feels soooo great not to wake up soaking. this has been a sort of forced detox because i had to leave the country, so i hope i can stay strong when i get back. i still have no energy and depressed most of the time, anddd super anxious, RLS is annoying bananas dont help lol. just thought i would post my experiences on here i hope everyone has a great new year and start your resolution today if you can! happy holidays...

I researched some more for you regarding the diarrhea. I've read about many people who've been helped taking bigger doses of the Imodium. You being out of the country, I don't know if you can get to a Doctor. I've also been reading about I V feeding foods + nutrients, idea being to bypass the sick
"GuT".   Once again something to ask a Doctor about.    Yes. Get ready to go to Support Group, NA, & more to ensure your continued success. Pamela

Yes the stomach issues can linger.
Eat things from the b. r. a. t. Diet
Bananas, rice, apples, toast.
They are binding.
Keep living forward.
You are doing great.
Congrats on your clean time.

Hi there and a big congrats on 2 weeks clean! I'm sorry you are still feeling rough. This should pass very soon, then it's onto the mental/emotional aspect of recovery. Hoping you have the willpower not to use once you get back in the country is not going to cut it. You have to cut your sources (whether it's dealer or doctor) and you have to actively engage in some sort of after care. Please take these steps to help ensure success. You are doing great and have come so far! Please don't throw these long 2 weeks clean out the window. Stick around here and keep posting. It's a great place to get support, advice, and encouragement. We will be here cheering you on every step of the way. Oh, and for the nasty RLS, try putting Icy Hot on your legs (or Vick's Vaporub if you can't find Icy Hot. It's the menthol that helps.) and then wrap your legs snugly in ace bandages. You can leave them like that overnight if you need to. This won't totally take it away, but it makes it a lot more tolerable. Good luck to you! I hope you feel better soon.

Hi there. Please make certain to drink fluids. Lots of water,juice& even some gatoraide type drink to replace electrolytes.
   This is just a thought, the pet forum has us give canned pumpkin for the runs. You being out of the country, not sure if you can get your hands on that.
Peanut butter & cheese may help.   Keep posting. Pamela
