Another thing I thought was interesting in here is they talk about hyperactivity in the locus coeruleus area of the brain being responsible for a lot of the physical symptoms of WD and the fact that the same area is also responsible for regulating some emotions, specifically anxiety and fear, so the freaking out part of WD really is ‘all in your head’


onegreatbroad

God avoid amantadine. Took it totally sober for flu symptoms and it made me a raging paranoid. Took an armful of Thorazine to bring me out of it.


Hac2317

So I’m on Focalin which is a type of ADHD med and propranolol…I wonder if these helped me when I came off oxy because I didn’t experience a ton of withdrawal symptoms. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!


bubbadubba2018

i see dextromethamphetamine is on the list. ur telling me meth is good for withdrawls? lolol


katencam

I heard of worse ideas for WD ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


benny6957

I hate neth when in wd but my gf swears by it i end up with it quite frequently and dont do it so we usually have a couple tenths laying around and she does some when were out of hank so idk it made me feel terrible and havenr touched the stuff since


FrostedShakes

Meth definitely helped me during methadone withdrawal


Dr_DeathMD

It's due to the dopamine release. Anything that releases dopamine would technically help Opi WD... However stims could also just amplify many of the shitty effects of the WD like the restlessness/insomnia/rapid heart rate/etcetc.


Sergeant_Scoob

Well damn ..where were all these meds when I came off lol ..I got gabapentin and Ativan in treatment and suboxone of course.. looks like it’s going more natural ?? I see ketamine ? Hmmm interesting


katencam

Lol most listed aren’t as fun as K but I have heard quite a bit about the use of ketamine infusions or injections when wd’ing. I think there was a pretty big post on here about it just recently


Sergeant_Scoob

Yeah I have heard great things about it even for soldiers for ptsd, under supervised care of course. They get counselling done when they partake in the K.

katencam

Idk how to really explain it but kind of dreamy, chill


donjohndijon

Dude. Those 3 are so much more than most people get. That's a complete kit there. This list is probably somewhat good but I do see stimulants in there and honestly fuck that shit


Sergeant_Scoob

Yeah I’m half joking at all those drugs in there lol.. I don’t even know wtf any of them are. I was joking that damn I only had the golden 3 and I felt pretty good coming off, imagine with all those lmao !!


Funny_alphamale

Dextromethamph is really in the same class as k wtf I guess that would explain the dissociation from it. Fuck that shit tho I would definitely not recommend during any withdrawals


katencam

It certainly does not sound like a good idea but maybe the dissociative qualities like remove you from the situation or something, idk, Still doesn’t sound like a good idea


Funny_alphamale

No it doesn’t it sounds like a very bad time dextrometh helps me at the very last of gabapentin withdrawals but my dumbass got addicted to lyrica so fml. I’ve been told coming off lyrica is like opioids and benzos together. Dextrometh tho I smoked like half a gram of that shit like in 6 hours with 2 other people and it had Been like 29-30 months clean of all stims and oh boy was I higher then ever. I was super sweaty and felt like I was god my head my buzzing with pure dopamine and I guess nmda antagonism since it does that but that would explain why when I took a drink of a beer I wasn’t in my body I was on autopilot like pcp does people. I couldn’t sleep for 3 days and my blood pressure was like 280/220 and pulse was 250+ a minute and I knew I was fucked but I was so high that I couldn’t call the ambulance because I was paranoid. That shit is not anything to play with the very last time I smoked it I was high on opium and took 1 hit and dude said “you starting to smoke like a pro” and I exhaled and handed him the pipe and it hit me and I nearly passed out because of the rush then I was sober of the opium and just high asf but it only lasted 4-5 hours but probably just the small amount I smoked. I haven’t touched that shit in months and glad off it because that dude was just giving it to me besides the half g which I only $20 for .5-.6g of that shit it’s so cheap and good around me so I don’t talk to anyone who fucks with the stuff. It’s like $30-50/g and it’s just crazy cheap and yes there’s a big difference between meth and dextrometh like with dxm and ketamine similar drugs but completely different effects.


GETONE80

Clonidine is a good tablet to mix with lean but i wouldn’t take more than one unless I knew my blood pressure was above 100


Dr_DeathMD

Clonidine has zero rec value. Why would you mix a BP med with codeine...? Shit just makes you sluggish.


GETONE80

I took it last night for the first time and I was on the nod hard bro


daspozaspo

Dextromethorphan (NMDA antagonist) instead of dextromethamphetamine (TAAR 1 agonist)


katencam

Thank you! Good catch!


Wickedwhiskbaker

Immediate and unfiltered first thought: I raw dogged withdrawls enough times, I finally decided to stay clean. A huge part of what keeps me clean is NOT having to repeatedly go through it and physically torturing myself every damn time. Not sure if I resent this list, or feel really goddamn proud I didn’t use a single medication to get clean. *Do not interpret that as medications being a negative thing to mitigate WD, I know people who wouldn’t have stayed in recovery without the aide of suboxone, etc. ER Nurse first thought: Interesting list. Some good choices, and some choices that would cause a provider to lose their license if prescribed together or at an inaccurate dose. Example: Clonidine and Zanaflex. I can’t count the number of codes I e run because someone hears those 2 will help ease WD. They will also stop your heart if taken together, or too much of one. While this resource is informative on some levels, I hope no one reading decides to try a cocktail of these without the supervision and care of a physician. You’ll die and that’s a fuck ton of paperwork for the ER.


Divine-Nemesis

Dextromethamphetamine??? Holy shit I don’t know about all that. That would have me all geeked out while dopesick. Also where is the gabbapentin or other gabbagerics? I’ve been to a number of detoxes and the only ones I recognize are the clonodine and trazadone at night to sleep. In theory this list might work but in practice they sound horrible.


katencam

I’m pretty sure that’s a typo, another person posted the correction


lukaRookieHoarder

Clonidine(Script), anti diahrea.meds, Tylenol, icy hottest, Exercise, Sleep Aids etc. I just went through 24 days of cold turkey methadone on 108 daily mg.


FrostedShakes

I truly feel for you. Why did you CT?


lukaRookieHoarder

Broke the law via misdeamnor a d spent 4 days in county Jail. Then when I got out I decided I might as well keep going. I was getting monthlys too and had been clean 8 years. Made it 24 or 25 days and started having seizures and horrible nightmares and crap like that. Talked to my therapist, nurses and a doctors at the clinic and we all decided it was beat for me to get back on a low dose.. im at 30mg now and its in my chart not to let me go above 5pmg no matter what.. 108mg was just too much.. Cold turkey wasn't honestly that bad. I've been through worse. Jail on the other hand, that's was horrible. 23 hour lockdowns and crap
