The ultimate non-opioid comfort combo for short term withdrawal/sleep (1week + 1week taper to min / end)

Clonidine 0.1mg - Very effective anxiolytic/sedative/calming, lowering BP & HR - reduces Norepinephrine in CNS
Diazepam 5/10mg - Long acting anxiolytic with robust muscle relaxant properties (2-3 daily) 2…..1…. 1/2
Pregabalin 150mg - Effective anxiolytic/anticonvulsant (2-4 daily as needed)

Clonidine 0.1mg will make it easier to sleep……over Valium & Lyrica combined lol ….even half a tablet would suffice 30min before bed

6’ 240lbs man ….this 3 shot combo would be a god send for opioid withdrawal (I’d even add 5mg Methadone)
Diazepam 20-30mg
Pregabalin 300mg
Clonidine 0.1mg

I am just wondering if a person has a tolerance to all three( gabapentin instead of Pregabalin) will it help at all or would you need large doses of all three?

You have to find comfort somehow. Research and find the best plan for you. To make it to the jump.

You have to ride it out however you choose. ...... And then remember how it felt and to never let it happen again.

Be wise.

I hope you get through all of it and know that you can !

Omg ! This thread had been a while.

Keep moving forward and find your strength because you deserve to be a Temple.

I know you all can.

Trazadone, seraquil .

Never tried trazadone but I am on mirtazapine which is suppossed to be about the most sedating anti depressant.
Seraquil I always felt was a dirty feeling and almost always gabe me restless legs.

As far as meds to help sleep during h wd, my go to was always a benzo plus clonidine, also pregabalin seems to help.

Well, everyone tolerance is different

Gabapentin 300mg capsules X 3-5 daily (poor oral bioavailability)
Pregabalin 150mg capsules (450mg daily max adult - 600mg a solid dose for adult male - 90% oral bioavailability)

Diazepam 5/10mg tablets are basic

I put moderate to lower doses because you want an effective combo to take the edge off, make you comfortable and able to sleep….Clonidine 0.1mg are truly a god send. Any walk-in clinic will script them to you …..an amazing anxiolytic and sedative……probably just as effective as Valium no joke

That 3-shot combo is the ultimate opioid withdrawal comfort med package…..me personally I’d add a super low dose of Methadone 2.5mg morning and 2.5mg few hours prior to bed (Methadone 5mg scored tablets) just for a week, and last week half a day in morning …….2nd week reducing all comfort meds to zero by 3rd week

So doctors really just give you Diaz, clonidine and pregabs? Like how the fuck would you even get your hands on that (not a real question obv). Shit just makes me want to physically assault every doctor I've ever seen. I went in yesterday and told him about the diarrhea I've been having since I got off the oxy, and the fucker said "I'll give you bentyl, sounds like IBS", oh fucking does it?? These are the type of motherfuckers trump SHOULD be throwing in them el Salvador prisons. (Joke, I'm obviously against that shit)
Fuck, man.

Clonidine isn’t a controlled substance so that’s easy

Pregabalin is scheduled less than Valium (Diazepam) …..so these require speaking honestly and respectfully with a doctor to get a Short term script for Low Therapeutic dosing and only for 1 week, plus an additional week of dose reductions , third week you could end with 1/2 tablet Clonidine before bed

If u can build a report or emphasis on your dedication to be free from all drugs, but are requesting low dose comfort meds for initial week and gradual/rapid dose reduction 2nd week and third week tapering off to nothing

They would feel comfortable…..even I say I’ll take a daily pic of my pill counts and show you at next appointment. I’m taking as prescribed and nothing diverted to illicit market

The use of seroquel as a sleep aid is increasingly frowned upon because of potential side effects. Restless legs would fit to that. I wonder if there is a cumulative effect between seroquels RLS and RLS from withdrawal.

I went to work on opiate withdrawal and I just messed up the buttons on the elevator once

 

[aesthetic.addict]

Do you usually not get severe withdrawals on opis @Jeanpauldash or was it just a light habit?

 

[Jeanpauldash]

Idk you tell me. I got high every day on pods and stopped about once or twice a week except a couple of times. I had cold sweats. Idk is not that bad. Meth made me sleep for days though.
