Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns. Opioid withdrawl can be really distressing.
For lack of energy and fatigue, you can take multivitamin supplements. Take plenty of oral fluids. Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation.

For bloating in stomach, you can take tablet pantoprazole daily empty stomach.

For decreased sleep, drugs like ativan and rivotril are useful but these are prescription drugs.

Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
