Amphetamine for methadone withdrawal???

What's working for me is dextroamphetamine. I've tried Gabapentin for RLS at 1000mg nightly and I have been going through hell. Was on methadone 160mg daily for 16 years for opiate addiction I got when I had cancer surgery.

Over one year tapered to 25mg methadone daily then quit cold turkey. I was desperate and thought I'd try my girlfriends dexedrine to see if I got any relief.

I took/take 60mg dexedrine spansules (4x15mg) when I wake up (time release) and it has made me feel human again. I'm not feeling nautious, I have an interest in normal life, depression went away, almost feel like myself again. I understand the abuse/addiction potential and I also know it sounds like it would be unpleasant being stimulated in opiate withdrawal but it blew my mind. I had tried Gabapentin, Valium, klonipin, and alcohol which did nothing compared to the amphetamine. If you wish to see more info go to

ID defiantly recommended to try it. I was very sick 🤮 and it fixed me completely. Interesting theory that panned out when nothing else did and all seemed hopeless. All benzodiazapines did was make me lazy/drowsy and did nothing for the narcotic withdrawl and RLS. Good Luck!

Hi

Go on You Tube search Dr Sarno. Watch the videos- purchase one of his boos.. Check out the ‘Curable’ ap. you can spend a couple of hours on it for free. (Need headphones). Keep a journal of anything that ‘hurts’ you emotionally both present and past. In the journal rage and vent. The more angry and venomous the better. Let it all out.
