heck yeah it works! i've never responded to one of these, but i was on methadone maintenance and while i didn't exaclty quit cold turkey, i stopped on tuesday at 9 mgs (today is monday) i have used everything he said, plus i went to my local detox unit and convinced them what a motivated patient i was, so they saw me outpaitient and threw in some trazodone (for sleep) and a little clonidine (sheisty though) so anyway, i am up very early b/c still not sleeping so good, but i feel really good. not to say that i don't have good hours and bad hours, but i know it in my heart, i'm gonna make it this time.
by the way, since i dosed on tuesday, does today make day 7 for me?

Happy times for you all. We all begin anew tommorrow.
30 tablets...!! i'm an idoit!
well, I've been doing a little bit of that recipe mostly just the L-Tyrosine. I've cut down from 30+ to @ the most 10. I just don't know if i should take Vicodin and do the recipe. I'm NOT positive if someone died from it but that's pretty scary. Also, I've been starting up my Anti - depressant. That seems to be working the best !!! Hopefully this will all pass....
I was also interested in the recipe. Just a question, when you say 30 down to 10 - are you talking mg or # of tablets. I guessed you were talking number of tabs but was not sure.
I've ready many stories of the success of the Thomas Recipe. Nothing will get you thur opiate detox pain free. What ever you chose to do, there will be discomfort. Hot baths, immodium AD, sleep meds, some anti anxiety meds, protein foods, OJ if you can stomach it, or Gatorade. Good luck, you should be thru this in a week or so with withdraw symptoms gradually getting better day by day.
I know you can find the receipe here on this site in the archives. I actually found this site by doing a google search of vicodin wean. The page that opened up had the thomas receipe on it. Have not tried it, Mostly seems reasonable, if someone died from it, probally from the valium or other benzo.... no idea.
