need vibes wish me luck

Detoxing and got hammered this evening. Now low on 02. Not sure if I'll have enough to make it through the night. Will try to stay awake all night because I know sleeping will only give me more attacks.. Have 3 energy drinks to go along with it but these things are coming fast and furious. Worse case, I'll be doing the cold showers and push ups which are always last resorts. One attack took 3 tries on the o2, energy drink, and 30 push ups. Wish me some pain free hours til morning. Looks like hours of Nick at Nite

What John said.
Lesson for today:
Do NOT under any circumstances let yourself get low on 02. Any reason for detoxing does not include oxygen. You can also use ice, and energy drinks too.

Yep its tough. Dont stay up sleep when and if you can. 5 minutes can be as good as 2 hours.
Either way you will get hit. You have done it before. Any rest at all will make it a touch easier.
Sometimes any change in meds will cause greater pain.
Many here choose to be med free and ultimately find it easier to face the beast eye to eye. It takes a couple days though.
Try the pushups upright against a counter until it feels your arms will break, the adrenaline/ dopamine will push the CH aside. Count every movement and use this as a first resort.
Another helper is ice cold water swished around your gums untill they are numb.
Stay tuned someones up here all night. Aussie Brian and the rest of the aussies are hangin upside down on the world keeping a watch wilst we yanks rest.

thanks all. And guess what...went to sleep at 1am. Woke up at 630 and didn;t get hit all night!!!! First time in over a week. Didn't even need the o2! Couple things I did.... Drank a boat load of water. Seemed to really help if I stayed standing for a while. IF I sat down, I could feel it coming. And did take a Benadryl, Woke up with shadows and still have them but nice to get 5 plus hours of consecutive sleep. Got another day under my belt of detox with a fresh o2 tank on the way. I'm getting the one I have filled tomorrow. Lesson learned.....always have that back up tank. Watching the gauge on the regulator is too dam stressful...........thanks everyone. Wishing some PF days for all of you

It's good to hear you were able to get some sleep. I've found benedryl helpful for getting back to sleep after night time attacks (assuming I haven't used caffeine). Stay strong through this detox time, and let us know one way or the other how this treatment works for you. PF wishes!
