amino acid protocol

The amino protocol really seems like alot of pills, how many people have used it out there? Does it really help? I have taken enough pills ya know.

I tried it and did nuthin but give me a sore stomach. Cannot understand how many people swear by it here.

I figured that I think it's just that pill intake, a mind screw over.

I believe the Amino Acid Protocol is more about speeding up the healing process in your mind and body, therefore if you follow it for 3 to 6 months you will be in a much better position than with nothing. It does not lessen the pain and discomfort associated with the initial five days of withdrawal symptoms. If you're looking for something to reduce the anguish of withdrawal, follow the Thomas Recipe and add in 50 grams per day of Sodium Abscorbate, it is supposed to be fantastic for withdrawal.

I take Ester C, B-6 and B-12 and it has really helped.  Started taking it right away when i cleaned up.  I had to stick with the less pills thing too.         sara

Ok thanks for the info, Also I get a creepy feeling down my left arm here and there. Like tingly and numb, It happens when I cut back or W/D and just on occasion. I'm 29 and doubt it's heart related but I always heard something about that's the first feeling of a heart attack. My blood pressure is always good I think it's around 119/80 does that sound right they say its ok every month when i go? and my pulse is always between 70 and 80 at the dr.  Is it just nervous mind tricks? I think your body can play alot of tricks on you when you try and take away it's candy it seems.

I took b-12 complex this moring caus I wanted to get up and get going, well I messed up and took a caffine pill also which I used to take to before workout and felt like I hit a rail of coke all morning wont do that again. I was jittery and my mind was racing,  I have been on downers and being mellow too long for that. Maybe take a quarter pill next time if I really cant get going. It did help me cut back my taper today though.

Our minds play real big games with us.  You sound healthy but if you are unsure about it go see your doctor.  I go to the chiropractor on occasion and that really helps me keep all aligned.  Gets the blood flowing........sara

Caffeine is best avoided during this time.  Anxiety becomes an issue for some.

[co872]

I read the page troubled dude gave me and it's unbelievable the sodium abscorbate,  have you tried it TD and it worked like they say, that would be truly amazing they even say it can overcome overdoses for on the spot reversal to save their life if I read right. Where do you get it drug store? Or script?

[dominosarah]

I havent read it yet.  They are also saying Vitamin C is very helpful with wd's now.  Cant hurt to try it out.  Your body and mind will thank you for replacing toxic meds for something healthy.........sara

Call the pharmacy and ask them about it....

[co872]

yeah that caffeine blew me outta the water I was outta my mind for a few hrs

[co872]

Ok I will stop by I have to go run some errands and i'm feeling ok now. I took a half dose of my pain meds about 15 min ago and i'm feeling good now. I'm on a taper and doing good so far, if I find something to get the edge off and the cold sweats i'll be ok well plus keep my mind in check, I get super depressed in the morning I just ate a bunch of fruit i'm gonna go get some banana's and other stuff.

[co872]

the thomas recipe i tried one time when I only thought I was ready to quit and it only got me hooked on xan's so anybody using that please leave the xanax out.

Replacing in your body what the drug has stolen from you will help. I went CT and was on the Thomas Receipe and it cut my WDs down to about half, and I believe helped me get thru much quickier. Our bodies are deprived of so much when we are addicted to doc and the quickier we replenish our bodies the quickier we will get back to feeling normal.
