[missy131501]

Woke up this morning feeling very tired, just very very weak, hands somewhat shaky having hard time typing. Picked up the Ativan so hopefully between the clonodine and it I will not be in such horrible physical w/d's anyone have any suggestions about these drugs when it comes to detoxing. I know when you go to rehab to detox, they give clonodine, and librium. so hoping these will help with my own at home detox. Thanks for all who read and give any information everything is truely appreciated.

I don't know about the meds to help, but you should know that you are helping me by being an inspiration, to do it myself,  cool hunh. The wheel goes round, you come for help and leave some at the same time! Great going and good health to you

Hey honey!  I have taken both of those meds before, and they will work to reduce the WDs.  The ativan should help you sleep and keep you calm, and the clonidine will help the other WD symptoms.  I have also done it with clonidine, alone.  I am still taking clonidine at night.  It makes me sleepy when I take it at bedtime.

I would also drink gatorade and take lots of baths.  Vitamins will be good too!  So will crackers and something bland in your stomach!  Gatorade if NOTHING else though!

Good luck!

Congrats on day 2.  I used microwavable discs to put in my clothing when I couldnt be in the tub. I posted and read posts. I walked even when It hurt and I didnt feel like it. that helps to work the chemicals out of your muscles.  Drink lots.  Pray.  I prayed alot and cryed alot too. I even yelled at addiction(around the 4th day)  I said,  "COME ON ADDICTION IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT!!!! "  You have to get tough, as though you are a soldier fighting for our freedom. Don't turn and run face it bravely and carry that wounded soldier off the battle field.  YOU

Didnt touch on the meds as i didnt take them so dont want to give the wrong info!!  Keep posting here as more will be on during the day.  Try and get up and move as much as you can too as that will help.  I know this part is no fun but it will be over soon........sara

Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids.  Gatorade is good.  Try and eat some bland foods or whatever tastes good.  Hot baths or showers help too.  You will be thru this before you know it.  Congrats on day 2!!!  You can do this!!  Stay strong.....sara
