I just realized after watching one of your other videos that you're the same guy from an article I had read a few days ago about mega dosing vitamin c. The dedication and care you have shown in helping people overcome this horrific addiction is so admirable. You are constantly still answering people's questions on that page, in great detail, and I just want to say I appreciate you so much

[@lcwisdom1]

Yes he is very knowledgeable and gives out alot of good information. I have been listening to him for years

[@jessicathomas3]

Kratom is not an opioid! It’s irresponsible of you to say so

[@susanrobertson2922]

@@jessicathomas3it still attaches to opioid receptors and can be highly addictive. I’ve never even taken crazy high doses. My max was about 20-30 throughout a day. While it worked well for my anxiety for a few years, now after about eight, it’s destroying my life. I’ve been trying to wean off for months, and it’s been hell. I’m fighting not to give up hope and just end it all. 😢 I’m only 64. I was a very healthy and active, outgoing person until going thru too many extremely stressful situations for too many years. I didn’t even drink, smoke or drink coffee! But I am very chemically sensitive. I should have never started on Kratom in the first place.

[@blowitoutyourcunt7675]

Women who are pregnant or wish to be pregnant to take great care with megadosing with vitamin C. Vitamin C with bioflavonoids is protective BUT vitamin C without any bioflavonoids can accidentally terminate an early pregnancy! Without bioflavonoids it makes capillaries brittle and that's what feeds a burgeoning pregnancy, vitamin C with bioflavonoids strengthens capillaries. Research on this was done in the 70s when vitamin injections were all the craze!

[@shockawha9]

I tried the Vit C mega dose and it was unbelievable! Sadly I’m more of a needle freak n missed jabbing every day. Î explained the protocol on subreddit if methadone and they banned me for trying to unalive people. LOL THEY didn’t understand the difference if the Vit c that absorbs better and what was talking about was impossible. So sad! There’s help n people don’t want to try it.

[@andrewburke6707]

Kratom should be on the list. As someone who was on suboxone for 5+ years I thought I’d never be able to get off of everything. Couldn’t take more then a few hours of the withdrawal before giving in. I started using kratom to replace the suboxone but planned to do a quick taper of it. Started with the recommended dosage of the kratom and tapered 1/4 of the dose every week until I made the jump. I suffered nearly zero withdrawal symptoms at all. A little bit of sweating and upset stomach but very mild. Life changer. Period.

[@MrAkaprimetime]

How much kratom were you doing & how often? Also how much subs were you doing & how did you make the switch

[@andrewburke6707]

@@MrAkaprimetime I had gotten down to a maintenance dose of about 1mg a day on the subs. Was stuck on that for years. Tried many times to taper down and was unsuccessful. I tried kratom because I had heard good things about it but truthfully didn’t have high hopes. I started taking about 3.5 grams 2x per day. (8 capsules per dose) after 2 weeks I dropped the dose by 2 capsules every 2 weeks until I was ready to make the leap. The first night was a little rough, just slight discomfort in my legs but I was able to sleep. Second day considerably easier at night and by the third day I was completely normal again. It almost didn’t feel real. I felt like I had cheated my way through it. Thankfully on the other side of all this and could not be more grateful.

Was prescribed methadone for chronic pain and when a hurricane damaged the pharmacy had to stop cold turkey from the methadone and oxycodone and diazepam and soma for a couple weeks and i asked the doctor to switch back to morphine because of how bad the withdrawal was from the methadone, morphine is bad enough but a cake walk compared to methadone

On day 2 now from solpadol 30/500 Codine tablets was on 10/12 a day for around 9 years. Over the last week I cut down al the way to 4 a day now decided to stop . I can not lie it’s a struggle my legs are killing I can not keep myself still I have been sick so much there is nothing left to come up I can not drink eat or anything . I am done what that life I just hope this paid would go away .

[@ralffischer3465]

Stay strong. Don't force it by reducing the dose to fast. Having to strong withdrawals only leads to quit detox and consuming again. I am addicted to Heroin for 30 years. Detox is hard. It is easy to say, simply stop using, it's only a few days having a light flu, for somebody who is not addicted.

Good luck to you all!!!

[@lcwisdom1]

What kind of vitamin C did he say?

[@sunflowersongs8752]

Hoping you can help. I've been taking oxy quick release for about 6 years for chronic pain caused by neck pain. 2 surgeries failed and I had another one about 6 weeks ago. So I'm taking probably 300mg a day. I have been given 50mg pregabalin. I took 3 thjs morning after watching your video. I take 100mg at night. How much can I take for withdrawal. I live in Germany and a clinic is out of the question for me because I am terrified and also they don't want to treat you if you don't speak English. I have no emotional support or na meetings or anything like that. I'm your opinion does everyone need therapy. I am scared of doing this alone. Also what do I take for pain. Ibuprofen does nothing. I have had 50mg oxy today

[@ElevationRecovery]

Many people on that opioid dosage or close to it find anywhere from 75 to 200 mg 2-4x a day pregabalin mitigates their acute withdrawal symptoms. I’ve heard of some people taking 200-300 mg pregabalin at a time 3x a day saying that acute opiate withdrawal was mostly easy other than being really tired throughout day and feeling almost drunk but a different type feeling. It’s very powerful and can be very dangerous mixed with opioids too. I recommend watching my Chronic Pain Playlist it’ll give you several non-opioid therapies that will get you seeing other options that are working for many people. kzbin.info/aero/PLczlBLKYbUh6O6NkL4-kUks_HJVMOBne7

[@sunflowersongs8752]

@@ElevationRecovery thanks so much for your reply. So I've been taking about 800mg during the day and its definitely helping me taper the opiods. It's actually quite a miracle drug used this way. What i want to know is when you are down to zero opiates and stop taking the pregabalin, will the withdrawal feelings come back or is that it done and you are free from opiates.

You need to tell your family or friends what you are going through. It's an incredibly hard thing and you need support from whoever you can get it from. Don't be afraid of asking for help. Because everything else you're facing is much worse if you do it alone and in silence. Find something you love doing and give it 110%. Do absolutely anything that makes you happy and takes your mind off of how you feel. And always remember, you are going through a tough time but it won't last forever. Be strong, be brave, and remember that everyone loves you and suicide is never an option. You will come out of this i promise.
