low appetite
hi, I am a 25 year old female with two year old twin girls. I have struggled with low weight my whole life. I am 5'0 and 98 lbs. the highest my weight has ever been is 105 lbs just before I got pregnant with my girls. I also struggled with a drug addiction to opioids in the past. Have been clean but on the Methadone program for 4.5 years.my highest dose was 55 mg once daily, and am currently at 12 mg daily. is there anything to help ease the transition to completely weaning from the methadone, increasing my appetite and cleansing my system?Thank you

Please take a dose of NUX VOM 30C just before going to bed for three consecutive nights max. Take early dinner and go to bed after about 3 to 4 hours.
One dose would be 3 drops of remedy in 10 ml of water slowly sipped up in clean mouth. Don't take any food or water one hour before or after taking the doses.
Come back here after a week and report what changes you feel on
- morning headaches
- quality of sleep
- energy levels
- appetite.
If you see yourself responding to NUX VOM, this remedy will help you a long way in getting rid of the drug you are taking.
It will be a continual step by step reduction in the dosage of the drug along with NUX VOM every now and then whenever your symptoms recur.
Let me know how you feel after the first few doses of nux vom.
