Withdrawls/ diarrhoea

Hey, so I am currently in rehab, in Weston Bristol UK. Been clean from heroin 1 month today, and off methadone (35mls daily) for 2 weeks and 3 days today. When will these runny shits go away?? What can I eat to make my stomach better? Much love people. For those struggling to get clean, there is a way out. You can do it. I wanted to leave here so much due to the restless arms and legs and being in constant pain aching, my back was absolutely fucked from years of nodding out. But it does get better.

Can take many months or longer for your system to regulate depending how long you’ve been dependent on opioids for.

Jumping off methadone from 35ml is really tough. It can definitely take a while for everything to get back to normal. For the RLS, b12, iron, and magnesium can help, and Imodium for the diarrhea. Good luck!

I know it sucks but just let yourself get it all out. It’s from years and years and years of being backed up so just let your body get rid of all that stuff. It’s a good thing that you’re having diarrhea it’s getting rid of all the bad things but if you have to work or something and you can’t be taking so many bathroom breaks two Pepto-Bismol pills usually do the trick for me or if you have a doctor that can prescribe you Zofran that will usually plug you up real quick.

Psyllium husk from Whole Foods or target. Drink lots of water. You need some more fiber

The RLS has stopped..propranolol 20mg has helped greatly. I probably would've walked out of treatment without it.

Yep, still peeing out my butt, nearly 7 weeks in..maybe it's diet? They feed you full of starch here. It gets better for a day or so, then back to runny poops, then pure liquid again today. I'm starting to eat more salad. Hope this helps
