The Cipro can cause nausea and vomiting. And the potassium supplement can add to that. Try eating very small amounts frequently and always take your meds with a bit of food, even if it's just a few cracker. I agree that the Substance Abuse Community may offer you more advice than this forum. Hang in there you are doing a great job. I'm glad your Mom is supporting you at this time.  Take Care, Tuck

Hi Shell: Your eyes will be sensitive an teary for a while. Remember that your body was use to a very potent opioid and it will take time to re-adjust itself. I have done some research on Fentanyl because I take it myself and wanted to know all that I could. It can take your body 6 months to totally get back to normal. Nasal congestion, small grade fever, stomache problems are all signs of w/d. Be patient, each and everyday you will feel better. Have you thought about visiting the Substance Abuse forum? I know they can answer any questions that I haven't. Also, go to google and type in Fentanyl Withdrawl. It is very informative. Good luck in your journey. Mollyrae
