Nikka,

I also vomit while in withdrawals- I have some Phenegran for that very reason and it is also good for "knocking you out." (They make these in a suppository form, it you can't keep a pill down long enough.) Some people are also prescribed something called "Bentyl" while going through withdrawals-it helps relax the stomach and prevent cramping (which may ease your vomitting).

Try to sip on some ginger ale- that usually soothes my stomach or banana popsicles. You want to watch out for dehydration!

The Xanax, Valium, etc. are benzo's that are used to calm one's nerves. When I am in withdrawals, I feel like I am literally crawling out of my skin and all "jittery" inside (which may also contribute to the vomitting), so this too, may help.

Best of luck to you and hang in there. God bless,
Michelle

Hi Nikka......I tapered down as low as i could go....which was down to about 2 or 3 then c/t....I am the QUEEN OF PUKING, so don't let that scare you, i took Bentyl, which really helped to 'ol tummy. I couldn't have ever gotten this far w/out those stomach pills. My husband also picked up some kind of tea for upset stomach at a Health food store, that helped. I lived on Pedialyte, which is a hydrating drink for babies and kids. If you are in w/d and go to the ER they will prescribe you the meds needed to make you "comfortable" at home. That is what i did. They were going to give me the clonidine...but that lowers your blood pressure and my blood pressure was already very low!!!! So i just did it w/xanax and bentyl. The main thing is your state of mind as you as hitting w/d and the people around you. Oh Dramamine works wonders too....it is a over the counter motion sickness pill... Believe me, those 2 or 3 days of being sick to your stomach is sooooooooo worth it. I suggest you try it, and if it gets too overwhelming, contact a doctor, be upfront with him and they will give you the meds to get thru it.
Nikka....i will help you any way possible. You sound so much like me it is scary :eek: , i hate throwing up so much it gives me anxiety and to me that was the worst part of w/d, but w/ Bentyl it make my life much, much more tolerable.
Well let me know if you need any more info, i am here ...
Have a great Friday!!!!!!
luv,
LISA
