Hi Everybody,
Well here I am at day 16 of recovery (I prefer that term rather than withdrawal)........holy moly I didn't think I would get here!
I just wanted to post how it has been for me and also share what things I have found helpful so far, 16 days ago I was searching for this kind of information, these kinds of answers.
Week one is kind of a blur, I was very nauseous, had terrible headaches and dizziness, was overwhelmingly tired, felt as though my brain was trying to come out through my eyes, I ached, I itched, I was hot and sweaty, had sharp pains all over, blocked nose, sore throat, cried at everything, if I wasn't crying I was yelling and losing my s#@t over nothing.
Week two, some more of the above with day 12, 13, 14 and 15 being absolutely horrendous.
Today, day 16.......not too shabby 
I woke a little, nauseous and dizzy with a headache. It passed after food and a big drink of water. My brain and head have given me a lot less trouble than previous days. And I haven't curled up for a nap or even felt tired. I hope to God this means I am over the hump!
I have gained a lot of weight in the last two weeks, not sure what that is about ?? but tomorrow is Monday and if I feel this good, I will make a start on rectifying that issue, up until this point, I was being kind to myself and not stressing over the bulge that was developing, one issue at a time please! 
Ok, so what helped?
- Cold water! And lots of it! I have drank and drank and drank!
- Vitamin supplements, I am now a convert, I swear to God these made all the difference. I won't go into brands, but here's what I have been taking. High Strength Omega3 Fish Oil, Vit B Complex, Stress and Anxiety Relief Herbal Capsules, PMS Relief Capsules, Liver Tonic, A "Good Bacteria" capsule you know, the ones for a health gut and bowel. An Immune Defence Blend, the occasional antihistamine and last but not least a soluble Mineral and Trace element in my water.
- Don't get dehydrated or tired, it makes it all feel worse.
- Keep yourself busy, I found the busier I was the less I noticed how poo I was feeling, plus being around people meant I got to have a giggle which made me feel great.
- Wearing my glasses more ??? I noticed I felt less dizzy wearing them, I usually only wear them for reading and driving.
So that's it folks, nothing spectacular, but that's how I've gotten this far...........fingers crossed that todays success is a sign that the worst is behind me! 
I truly hope you are all doing well and being kind to yourselves xo.
I must agree with you, though - one thing at a time. I'm sure that working out would help but I have no energy and don't feel well enough for that.
