I think it's great you are checking in to a detox facility. You will get the help that you need. Don't they usually give you certain medications at detox in order to make you more comfortable? I always thought they gave stuff like clonodine, trazadone, neurontin, valium, etc. Maybe all aren't like this. Before taking anything from the thomas recipe or the amino acids just be sure to make them aware of what you are taking. Certain over the counter supplements can have adverse side effects if taken with certain medications.
I think your plan sounds great. I just took the amino acids and started a few weeks before I took my last pain pill. I did this in order to get my body started on everything. I felt it helped. But like I said, you're plan sounds great. Like gnarly said, the thomas recipe is kinda to get through the withdrawals by making you more comfortable and the amino acids is kinda like maintenance.
Please keep us posted on your progress. We love hearing success stories and the way you are preparing yours will be a story worth reading!!
Best of luck to you!

i am going to a detox facility mon sept 20. 3 days. maybe the thomas recipe while in rehab then when i get out switch to amico acid protocol as maintenance. does that sound like it might make it easier and take care of some of the w/ds. i am looking for the easiest and less painful way with the minumum w/ds as possible

I like the amino acids....

I didn't realize you found the amino acid protocol. I pasted it in your other post. I wanted to ask to, are you going to a detox facility or doing this at home? From reading a few of the replies it sounded as if you are going to rehab so I made my reply based that you were. But from the sounds of it you are doing this on your own. Many of us have detoxed on our own and have made it. You can too!
I used the amino acid protocol. I have been through withdrawals with it and without. The time I used the supplements made a world of difference. I felt better physically and mentally. I felt they also helped mentally as I was still shoveling pills down my throat. But at least this time they were healthy pills. I highly recommend the amino acid protocol. I think it is an absolute must at least for the first two months of quitting the pills.

HI Chris....well you have worked up to quite a habit there there are 2 ways to do this one is taper down a bit then jump the other is just jump and get it over with....you can expect some hard withdrawals coming off that amount...expect to feel it for a 7 day week the 4 day deals you read about are for lighter use members oxy is no fun to break free from but it is doable with a home detox...when are you thinking of getting started???

[chris011369]

the last year 8 months 3 to 4 80s a day. previous year about 2 to 2.5 80s a day. year before that 4 perks and a 20 or 2 a day. . previos 5  years 1 to 4 perks a day
