has anyone else ever experienced this? and if so about how long after ur last use did it start?

its like you just can not stop throwing up.. even when theres nothing left in you.
 
when i had this happen to me i didn't go through wd's for a while because i was doing pretty good at keeping an emergency stash. doing 7 to a bun a day.. then went a a little over a day, day and a half with absolutely nothing and started vomiting, and not just vomiting like ive had happen before, this was projectile and hard and almost painful and it just wouldnt stop. it was so scary to me. finally got something and still feel really ruff trying to get my fluids up i think im dehydrated.
 
If you are a person who vomits easily, then you can expect to be throwing up quite often while in withdrawal. I for one do not throw up easy, but I feel incredibly awful nausea the whole time and can only stomach liquids. I know it can take a while to feel good again if you have been withdrawing for a bit and then get your fix. Takes a while to fix the strain it puts on your body, need to rehydrate and eat some food, then get some good rest.

If you are actually trying to stop or in a position where you can't get a thing and forced into withdrawal, then you can go to your doctor, a walk in clinic or and ER. For the vomiting the can give some Zofran and hopefully they'd give you some other meds like clonidine and a small amount of benzos. Plus if you go to an ER or urgent care you'd probably get some IV fluids.

This.
And any of the 1st gen anti-histamines will work as anti-emetics. Promethazine is otc in alot of places and will help with nausea and vomiting. Even good ol' diphenhydramine (benedryl) will have an anti-emetic action.
 
Vomiting is a pretty standard withdrawal symptom.. it happens to a lot of people so it's nothing odd that you're experiencing. Withdrawal sucks.. hah.

There are medications that can definitely help though, odanzetron being one of them. It's a standard med in my detox kit and many inpatient facilities give it to people in withdrawal.
 
sounds standard, if I'm kicking a good sized habit I usually start puking on day 2, day 3 can be a pretty constant flow, and day 4 is getting better, the toughest part for me is figuring out how to shit and puke at the same time, you need at least one bucket.
 
uncontrollable puking, shitting and sweating are all pretty typical opaite w/d symptoms. I usually can eat, but get those "eye of the needle" shits, you know, the type that's like water mixed with like Tabasco sauce. Have some GOOD quality TP around and wet wipes, it will reduce discomfort down there significantly. Also, if you sweat a lot, and by a lot I mean lose 10lbs overnight, keep a stack of towels by your bed so you can change them out and not be laying in a pool of your own sweat.
