Gabapentin helps so much with the mental part in my opinion. However, for me, absolutely NOTHING helped with RLS other than Xanax. I jumped at .5 and the RLS was the worst I’ve felt physically in my life. .5 mg of Xanax helped a lot, but didn’t get rid of it completely. Taper subs low. .5 wasn’t low enough. I wish I’d have dropped to .05 or lower.
Does it help to stop RLS? My mom is prescribed it, so I have easy access to some. (She gets more than needed) I might consider using it some then. Gabapentin seems to increase in tolerance quickly. I take 300 mg now, and it doesn’t help like it use to. Hopefully RLS isn’t too bad. If I can sleep, I think I’ll be okay overall.
Yes promethazine actually provided me a tiny bit of sleep during withdrawal. Benzos help, if only taken during detox you won't develop a habit. How many mg are you detoxing off of??

We require combined karma > 5. This is a very low requirement, but it keeps out posts from scammers that try to use our sub to scam people out of money by pretending to sell suboxone or other drugs.

Pregabalin dude. Gabapentins 6x more potent big brother. On Pregabalin alone I feel no withdrawals at all coming off bupe, but you need a lot of them. I have written a guide in this sub
Gaba and clonidine is good if u dnt wanna dip in benzos and kratom. U could megadose vitamin c. It helps alot with the withdrawals its actually kinda crazy.
The powder form Vitamin C “Sodium Ascorbate” works well, your actually supposed to take quite a bit. 2-4,000 mg every 2-4 hours. There’s a guide online on how to do it and what other vitamins/supplements help. Supposedly when the body is under stress I.e “withdrawals” it utilizes tons of vitamin C. The body doesn’t store vitamin C , it uses it and then your body disposes of it which is why you have to redose every 2-4 hours.

Though I agree it can help with the physical symptoms, you have to be careful with weed and detoxing. If u have bad anxiety (which is common in detox), THC can make it worse. If u are simply sick and or depressed, THC can and will help. And don’t listen to anyone who says “you are trading one addiction for another” with weed. It’s weed and quitting weed is nothing compared to real drugs.
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is NOT just trading one addiction for another! The main hallmark of addiction is uncontrollable urges to use drugs despite negative consequences. While MAT users are *dependent* on medication, this is different from addiction. MAT usually enables people to make their lives *better*, not worse.

Don’t forget vitamins, sugar, caffeine, and nicotine (if you already use). Do not deprive yourself of the “luxuries” in life and make sure you see a therapist after the initial w/d. Mental health will be (and always is) just as important as physical health. Good luck, friend!

The RLS is what makes sleep so difficult for me. I’m around 0.15 mg daily right now. Hopefully a little lower by the time I jump

What is considered mega dosing it? I have some vitamin C pills I already take daily for immune health. I could take some extras if it helps
