Gabapentin: Gabapentin has been used to help people withdraw from a variety of drugs, including the opiates and heroin. Gabapentin is virtually nontoxic, and can be taken in "heroic" doses, during your withdrawal. It is an anti-seizure medication, so it will prevent seizures during rapid withdrawal. Just find a doctor who will prescribe it in the doses that you need. Take non-sedating doses during the day

Life not about quick: fixes to problems, instead a complex process of trial & error; making mistakes, trying something different, gradually (hopefully) learning wisdom. Addictions driven by pain/issues we avoid/deny because seem impossible to find acceptable solutions & people stand as harsh judge&jury on themselves. Not surprised more "drugs"; goal is making progressive transitions from bad to not as bad; eventually
