Memantine to alleviate opioid withdrawal and PAWS

For the PAWS, there is much that could be done but isn't in the general practice. The alzheimer's drug and NMDA antagonist memantine could be prescribed off-label and it is the fucking best thing available by prescription to get off opioid habits and to restore dopamine / endorphin neurotransmission. Only the dose needs to be high enough, in studies they used up to 60mg and this is okay.

and so on

But even dextromethorphan can help:

Really, share and spread this information. It works. It is true harm and suffering reduction.
I'll post more related stuff soon when I have the time.
