Hi there,

After suffering from acute abdominal cramps and gastric symptoms (as a result of diazepam withdrawal)

Has anyone discovered any natural solutions which help as my doctor has just suggested more ranitidine to counteract this.

I would be grateful for any ideas you may have thanks.

    Hi Try not to worry. These effects are part of the wd process. Have u tried heart against your tummy to relieve the cram?  I assume y have reflux.

      Thanks Angela for your kind words. Yes I have reflux and lower gut cramps. taking 150mg of ranitidine twice a day, has helped reflux but I feel totally wiped out.

      I am about to go away for a few days and there may be a lot sight-seeing involved and I know it's a long shot but just wondered if anyone knows of a natural remedy for these symptoms.

      How long do they last as I have a way to go yet, 14 mg per day reducing by 1mg per day each month.

      Regards
