What can help with percocet withdraws besides methadone and suboxone?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Clonidine and others: Clonidine, which is a blood pressure medication, acts on the same part of the brain that is activated in opioid withdrawal, and can mitigate some of the symptoms. Nsaid drugs like Ibuprofen (or just tylenol) can reduce the muscle and bone pain, pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) can reduce abdominal cramping and diarrhea. Clonidine requires a prescription, and can cause low blood pressure, especially in women.Get help!

Survival: Believe in yourself. Think of it as a war with many battles. Visualize you as the winner. Send in the entire military. Prepare mentally, physically, spiritually, socioeconomically. Engage. Triggers are enemy spy & must get rid of early on. Walk, jog, run, bike, swim, jacuzzi, message, acupuncture, etc. See addiction specialist. Meds for symptoms. Tune into survival mode. More art less science.
