Proud of ya, Bud!!! Have been told how difficult it is to do. My brother is still out in the world doing this. He's tried, but the hold it gets, again, being told by him, is so incredible that he cares for nothing or no one (2 daughters, one,(new) grand son) but his next hit.

I love drugs but I hardly use them in the first place but when I do it's not with stupid ass concoctions that screw up your mind and body.

I have no sympathy for heroin or meth users.

I have no problem with drug users but people who willingly take a substance that has been proven over and over again to kill you is an idiot.

I also recommend Kratom. In February, I'll be 2 years clean off dope, and kratom was my absolute life saver. You can find it at most headshops or online. If you can find some bentonite clay, it'd help as well, as it's negatively charged and attracts positively charged toxins to it for quick excretion. Don't replace the habit with methadone or soboxon... just as hard to quit. Might as well get it over with asap. You can beat this! You ARE stronger than the drug. Good luck OP! hf

I had friend detox of methadone, took 45 days and I heard it was easier to detox from the real thing! So just know that even if the next few days aren't a walk in the park, you're still in the better position!!! Hot baths, vitamin drinks, ibuprofen (may help with sleep, not sure about restless legs) first few days are the toughest and if you can pull through then you've mastered you vice! You take control, count minutes if you have to! Hearing pads, ear muffs and make sure to drink water because dehydration will make you suffer more.... Ill be praying for you!

IBOGAINE REMOVES withdrawals INSTANTLY!!!

Ibogaine cures not only heroin, amfetamin, cocain addictions etc etc, but also

alcohol addiction
nicotine addiction
gambling addiction
sex addiction etc etc

compulsive disorder
PTSD
etc etc

its about the dopamin receptors.

you can ALSO get a spiritual experience, and psychic experiences (precognitions) or past life experiences during the treatment.

read up on IBOGAINE, google IBOGAINE!!

49 min documentary:

Dr. Anwar Jeewa: Ibogaine Cure of Heroin Addiction

Anwar Jeewa of Minds Alive clinic in South Africa describes curing heroin addiction with a single dosing of Ibogaine, derived from the bark of the root of an African plant, Tabernanthe Iboga, returning patients to their pre-addictive state in hours! Then some weeks in his clinic are devoted to helping former addicts psychologically to make wiser choices. Ibogaine treatment is currently illegal in the US, apparently the result of corruption within the national drug abuse agency NIDA that originally agreed to fund study of Ibogaine and then backed off without good reason.

Re: getting clean off heroin....any suggestions or just friendly chat? cant sleep!!!
i don't know much about heroin, but i do know about health and why people turn addictive.

it is because they have low NATURAL feel-good hormones.

you must fix your gut, because that is where these hormones are made. see the gaps (gut and psychology syndrome) diet.

your immune system needs these hormones to run properly.

once your brain realizes that doing a certain thing (such as heroin) will give it feel-goods, it will grab onto that for dear life, because it truly is impossible to live without feel-good hormones for very long.

lots of other things (that are not destructive) will improve your feel-good hormone levels. sex with your partner (or self), hugging, doing good deeds for others (volunteer?), laughter (watch comedy movies), a delicious meal, exercise... well, look it up.

good luck to you.

i worked as a pharmacist for many years dealing with methadone dispensing in drug problem inner city areas.

one addict i remember recommended skullcap herbal tea to assist with sleep.

id recommend trying valerian or skullcap or both.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29803264


As I mentioned, I am a clinical herbalist. Skullcap is another big player in the protocol I mentioned. It is somewhat sedative (strongly so for some folks), but its biggest use in this context is for the "kick." The twitches, kicks and inability to get comfortable is greatly reduced by Skullcap. I also use it for Restless Leg Syndrome. Also, Skullcap is NASTY for most people unaccustomed to the BITTER taste. Tea is, therefore, not such a good idea. Use tincture available at Whole Foods or similar.

Valerian is very, very helpful, but with a caveat or two. In high doses (which are needed in this context. 50 drops and up), it is stimulating first (maybe 30-45 minutes) then it sedates. For some folks, it is just stimulating. I find this to be true for as many as 1 in 20 of my clients. It is best used an hour or so before bedtime to let any stimulation pas s before hitting the hay.

In combination, they are very effective, especially when added to the Passionflower I mentioned a few pages ago.
