I use NOW vitamins, one called Eco-Green Multi, which i started using about 6 years ago. The brand is better than most in that it doesn't have a lot of additives, just vitamins. You can find their website at www.nowvitamins.com and then from there search for a store near you.
if you look at the "road back" program a little closer you can see what their program uses in terms of vitamins and make up your own regimen.
Sorry to not be really helpful, everybody is different in how they withdraw and what they need to get through it.
Main thing is going to be LOTS OF LIQUID, at least the 96 ounces a day (make that mostly water). the fluids will help flush the drug out of your system and kidney/liver. Light exercise to begin with, like walking or some prefer dancing. Just move and do it slowly keeping in mind your fragile balance right now.
I've been ofr since May and an now working full time doing mental tasks and some physical tasks (working retail, so moving boxes of stock). I could not have done this 6 months ago, and definitely not while i was withdrawing. So go slowly and know that it's going to take some time get the drug out of your system.
Also, if you didn't have a counselor or good friend way back when you went on the drug, find one now. You still need to handle whatever the problem was that caused you to start taking the medication. For instance, if you were dealing with the loss of a loved one in any way, you'll need to find a way to handle that loss, even now. your prior problems didn't go away, they were just buried under the drug.
good luck, and keep in touch here.
