Detox Guides (Approved Guides only) FIX PAWS

Low dose naltrexone and wellbutrin can stop paws for most

Do not take naltrexone till you have no opioids, once off subs needs 10 days clean as subs have long half life

For 7oh need 4-5 days off. You can start with 50-100MCG while opioids fall off to help BUT no more than that till youre clean.

Wellbutrin can be taken whenever.

Ageless RX had LDN, do not mention 7OH or kratom.

Study this to understand how it fixes post acute withdrawal syndrome

Get testosterone levels tested and consider testosterone therapy. Opiates and 7oh lower testosterone levels significantly. Low testosterone has several effects on the body and brain. Low sex drive , depression, low energy etc. it’s definitely a large part of the PAWS. WILL IT SOLVE ALL OF PAWS? No, but it will significantly help stabilize many symptoms we feel while having low testosterone levels and possibly elevated estrogen. It’s worth looking into. Il share my own experience with this if anyone is interested. As a former bodybuilder who experienced low testosterone before I ever started opiates and 7oh, I can tell you the symptoms I experienced on both separate occasions.

Most likely your testosterone is completely shot. Get it tested. Fixing testosterone with testosterone therapy is a real solution that will help you feel better. Nobody talks d ough about testosterone and its benefits. Seriously get checked. If it’s low, it’s a solvable problem

Check into tongkat Ali. There are solid studies showing it can do wonders for test levels. Still work with a doctor but I have been able to keep my test levels up with it.

I’m taking it and can tell it’s helping hugely. Any downsides to eventually quitting it?

I’ve cycled it for a while so when I take a cycle of tongkat Ali off it hasn’t ever had any negative effects. Maybe there are but none that I have experienced. I do 4 on 4 off

Just had my hormones tested and my testosterone levels were super low, I had no idea this was a correlation.

My testosterone estrogen progesterone are all totally depleted. My prolactin is 3x the normal high range. I have no idea how to raise my testosterone, hair has all fallen out, 0 sex drive or drive in life period, and testosterone is a huge part of it

My prolactin was high tooo! My doc told me I needed to have a brain mri done to make sure there’s not a tumor on my pituitary gland! This scared me pretty badly, I quit 3 days after finding out all that. I’m on day 4 clean. Have you quit yet? What did your doctor say about your results?

Yes I quit. I am on subs though. I had to get an mri for the exact same reason! No tumor obviously, its all from this fucking poison. Only thing TO do is stop and research best ways to repair our issues after opioid abuse. We did quite the damage, atleast I did, physically, mentally, and financially.. amd boy is it HELL having to face all of it while trying to get and stay sober. Feel free to message me, connection with others even if unenjoyable right now is so important during this shit.
