I desperately want to stop my H use. Mentally I am ready, but it's the pain from the withdrawals that cause me to relapse. This is my 2nd try to stop. The 1st try I was miserable. This time so far I have made a little more progress, that is because I have the help of Vicodin. I'm still uncomfortable from time to time but it's not that bad.

I'm about to run out of my supply of Vicodin and I heard that Loperamide/Imodium in large quantities actually gets rid of ALL withdrawal symptoms and provides a small buzz. I really want to hear your stories if you have tried this to get over your withdrawals or if you have any knowledge of this technique.

I really do NOT want to go to suboxone, methadone, ect. I don't need another addiction.

Thanks for viewing

By the way,
I've been craving chocolates and ice cream like CRAZY! The 2nd thing I think of every morning(1st being heroin) is about getting me a fix of sweets! It's unbelievable how much I am craving sweets. I heard this happens to H users. Does it happen to you guys?
 
Immodium is a godsend. I works great. I'm on day 3 right now and have very little discomfort. I usually take about 35 pills to keep me fairly comfortable. I have funny eyes or nose, restless legs ate barely there, I have no trouble sleeping. The only bad withdrawal symptoms I have is general tiredness and the depression that comes with ed. So if I were u I would defiantly dose high on immodium.
 
I have tapered vics down from 200 mg to 20 mg a day with imodium.

Today I have taken 30 mg of it.....and only one 5 mg hydro and I feel good.

a little discomfort...but it is truly a god send..a freaking miracle.

RSL a small bit..some muscle pain, aleve helps, and I am foggy...

without it I would be sick as shit.
a miracle
 
Yes Loperamide/Imodium will help a lot.! You will feel NO Buzz, but in high doses around 20-50mg it will take away most withdrawl symptoms ..including joint and muscle pain. Try to only use it every 48-72 hours. ..and start with 20 to 30 mg. In low doses "up to 8mg" it will only help with diarrhea. I use Imodium with great results when withdrawling. I am amazed at the pain relieve i get with only 20mg Imodium. You will have to slowly tapper down your dose, and may need laxatives and or stool softeners to keep regular. ...also crush up the pills when taking them. Cheers ...Rx
 
ive been using loper and i can say 60mg is sufficient. only having a mild habit of 200mg po oxy it helped. thats all i can say is it HELPS. wierd feeling kind of like high dose benadryl
 
There has been TONS of discussion on this subject and lots and lots of people have shared their views on it. There is usually a major loperamide thread on the first page and if not, you can probably find it on the second or in directory so please direct discussion there.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. :)
