Day 2 Not feeling too bad

[parabola]

Hi all,

im trying something a little different and i was wondering if anyone else had ever tried it
in recent w/ds ive tried every over the counter pain reliever known to man
i tried a back pain reliever called Doans and it helped a little
then i read the active ingredient was magnesium
then i looked on my l-tyrosine and there was magnesium in them
and as you all already know bathing in epsom salts forces magnesium into your muscles
then i read about magnesium and it says low levels in your blood can constrict muscles and raise blood pressure
go here http://www.ctds.info/5_13_magnesium.html
so i went and bought the magnesium supplements
last night i didnt have the night sweats i normally due when w/ding
i took doan's, l-tyrosine, flexiril, and magnesium and im feeling pretty good today
has anyone ever tried this?
oh im coming off 100-150 mgs hydrocodone a day for about 5 months straight

Calcium/Magnesium Supplement

Handling Withdrawal


The use of Cal-Mag has been used very effectively during withdrawal to help ease and counteract the convulsions, muscular spasms and severe nervous reactions experienced by an addict when coming off drugs. The success of its application for withdrawal cases by drug rehabilitation centers such as Narconon has now been established. Cal-Mag has been reported as effective in withdrawal from any drug, its effectiveness most dramatically observable with methadone and heroin cases.

Methadone attacks bone marrow and bones so one usually encounters a severe depletion of calcium in methadone users, characterized by severe pain in joints and bones, teeth problems, hair problems. Getting calcium into the system (in the acidic solution in which it can operate), along with magnesium for its effect on the nerves, helps to relieve these conditions.

It has been reported that with use of Cal-Mag, a person can be withdrawn from methadone anywhere from two weeks to three months faster than without its use. This may apply in withdrawal from other drugs as well.

Since drugs or alcohol burn up the vitamin B1 in the system rapidly, taking a lot of B1 daily when coming off drugs helps to avoid the convulsions which often attend this deficiency. The B1 must, of course, be flanked with other vitamin dosages to maintain a proper balance of needed nutrients. And, accordingly, sufficient quantities of Cal-Mag are needed, both to prevent created mineral deficiencies and to work its wonders in easing and relieving the agonies accompanying withdrawal.

From 1 to 3 glasses of Cal-Mag a day, with or after meals, replaces any tranquilizer. It does not produce the drugged effects of tranquilizers (which are quite deadly).
