I've been using every day for several months after I quit for a long time. Life got shittier and shittier and I finally gave in and decided I wanted to be numb. I want to quit again, its interfering with my job and I spend all my money on the shit. I can't afford my bills because of it and I'm covered in bruises and tracks. My hands and feet are swollen and my arms have lumps and scar tissue build up. I need some advice on what to do because I always give in when the chills and nausea start. I can't stand the way I feel when I'm ill.. literally the most UNCOMFORTABLE I've ever felt in my life. I also bang it so I'm not only physically addicted, but I'm addicted to using the tool and shooting up itself. Half mental, half physical. I've been having so much trouble hitting as it is so it makes me feel like its time to give it up. My body is covered in bruises and swelling. Any advice?.
this is a list I've been paying with over the years, going to use it for my detox from bupe maintainence-

Sedation,Anxiolytic, Mood:
Cordyalis~ L-Tetrahydropalmatine- D1 antagonist, anti-arrythmic {for SVPB}) anti-addiction properties.
Valium 10mg TID and Gabapentin to switch as needed (ineffective for WD when used daily)
Temazepam QID nightly.
Kava~/Valerian/Lemon Balm/= as needed after 2-3 weeks on benzodiazepines)
Lemon Balm~/Phenibut~ same
Memantine (NMDA Ant.) ??? In this 8-week inpatient study, participants were maintained on the low-affinity, noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist memantine (0, 30, and 60 mg per day, PO) and under each maintenance dose co To my PCP: This is a list I’ve complied after extensive (too much) experience with Opiate/Opioid withdrawls. This laundry list, under a responsible caretaker, I believe could get me through the months of hell- and then transferred to a sober living facility or into the care of my highly upportive and sober family. I’ve never had a psychological problem quitting drugs; cigarettes,, prescribed stimulants for ADHD, alcohol (not attracted to the blunting effects of gaba drugs). opioids are another creature. I need Heavy physical support to deal with the pain (that I was diagnosed with before addiction at 19), or else my body simply won’t accept the condition it’s in. Cold turkey or even a decent detox prgram will still damage an addicts brain, due to (new research)
In the study published in Brain, Behavior and Immunity, Mocchetti and his research team treated the animals with morphine, or allowed them to undergo withdrawal by stopping the treatment.
They then measured pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can promote damage and cell death, and the protein CCL5, which has various protective effects in the brain.
“Interestingly, we found that treating the addicted animals with morphine both increased the protective CCL5 protein while decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines, suggesting a beneficial effect,” Mocchetti said.

I want to taper as low as possible with a short acting opioid (buprenorphine withdrawl is hellishly long, I’ve tried enough) and then use protective supplements like the aforementioned substances to
ndition, the effects of intranasal heroin (0, 12.5, and 50 mg, IN) were examined.
Memantine produced modest reductions in subjective ratings of drug quality, liking, willingness to pay for the drug, and craving for heroin. However, memantine produced few changes in the reinforcing effects of heroin.
Conclusions
These data demonstrate that memantine was well tolerated and modestly effective in reducing the subjective but not the reinforcing effects of heroin. Although it is unlikely that memantine will be useful as a stand-alone maintenance medication for opioid dependence, it may have some utility as an adjunct treatment medication.
Clonidine~ Baseline hypotension, intolerant- Topiramte is a superior replacement I speculate.
Topiramate (AMPA inhibition, Glutamate Ant?) “play an important role in the withdrawal-induced activation of the locus coeruleus (LC) by glutamate”
(SSRI’s/MAOIs’) Which will be best...likely best for Post Acute Withdrawl.
Selegiline (Rasagiline prefered for the lack of Levo-amphetamine metabolism)
Wellbutrin
St Johns Wort
Rhodiola
Picralima Nitida
Holy Basil
Frankincense Powder (MR)~
Myrhh powder (tree Resin)~
Hesperidin (Flavanoid in grapefruit)
Clonidine~ Baseline hypotension, topiramte is a superior replacement.
Calm~-ZMA (Potent combo of chelated zinc, magnesium aspartates, increases deep sleep, HGH and Test release)
Beets and avocados for neurotransmitter production.
L-Tyrosine D,L Phenylalanine
Hemp Seed Oil~

Mucuna Pruriens (RLS/Mood)
