Hi.. New here, obviously. I was just wondering if anyone else had any luck with this:

I've been addicted to opiates on and off for about 9 years with a a few months here and there clean. I'm done.. My real question: has donating plasma (not blood, but actually plasma where they remove the plasma from your blood and return it with an anticoagulant and a saline solution) helped relieve the withdrawals. I'm not sure if its because the saline solution rehydrates or if something is taking and cleansed from your system or what.. but I was wondering if anyone else had thoughts on this while going through withdrawals. I've basically been in and out of hell for 5 days. Withdrawal for most of the day and take a teeny amount of whatever i can find to help sleep. And when i say teeny, i mean just enough to help me pass out with the use of clonidine and some herb. Any thoughts, ideas, anything will help... Thanks.
 
I think any activity that gets you out and about and distracted from your withdrawals will make you feel better. Enriched environments help keep your endorphin system in good shape, see also: Rat Park.

The more you participate in activities in situations that your brain doesn't associate with doing drugs, the better off you'll feel.
 
I use donated plasma. Please don't lie about your physical condition. When I have an attack I might already be extremely sick and I don't want new problems because someone donated when they should have been excluded.
 
I don't think the act of donating plasma would do anything, because the reason you are in WD has to do with your brain activity, not something swimming around your blood. When you do opioids your brain creates more sites where drugs can be taken in. when you stop doing the drug all of a sudden your brain has all of these new sites it created to uptake the drug but no drug to fill the site. When that happens you go into WD's, in simpler words. The good news is that you are on day 5 and if you have made it this far, then you are definitely way over the hump and I would not be surprised if you woke up tomorrow feeling much better. I know you are not going to want to hear this but the best thing you can do for yourself right now is EXERCISE. Let me tell you when I was in your exact position, day 5 feel like shit, thinking to myself "this was so suppose to be over by now". Someone gave me great advise to go and walk, not slow but you you need to break a good sweat. I swear, even to this day, I literally felt like a million bucks when I was exercising soooooooo much better. you brain naturally makes dopamine, among other things when you exercise and these things are exactly what you brain is missing right now and is the very reason you feel so shitty. Get outside, take a nice cool towel with you, some water and just break a sweat, It will help you feel better now and will help you sleep better later :)
