Anyone have some endorphins I can use?

[Nobecca]

Off of heroin for 20 days, but used random opiates at super low doses (still sick even when on them, but less so)...I am so tired. I am sad. I can sleep now, in fact it feels like sleep is all I can do.
I have responsibilities in my life and I can't do anything. Depressing. More that that, it makes me start to forget why I wanted this.

When you take opiates for a long time like you have, your body's physiology has been altered. Your central nervous system has created a multitude of opioid receptors that all are screaming for endorphins (opiates) to fill them, but your body has now forgotten how to make them by itself.  It will takes time weeks, for your receptors to down-regulate (for the brain begin to heal) and to start making its own endorphins. Brain heals pretty slowly, so it may take months to get rid of feelings of sluggishness, restlessness and depression. The best thing you can do is take good care of yourself, eat healthy food, stay hydrated, keep active and busy. Stay away from sugar, soda, and simple carbs. Do not consume caffeine at least 6 hours prior to bedtime.
Take a look at my blogs about options for detox and recovery. You may also take a look at my clinic website where I also have my blogs and a lot of other info about drug addiction and recovery. Look especially into the blog and the info on Naltrexone therapy after getting clean. It really improves your chances of staying clean for good by cutting down your physical cravings. Look into my clinic website as well. All this can be done by clicking on my name in blue and on clinic logo.
There is an injectable form available now that is covered by all major medical insurances called Vivitrol that you would need to get only once monthly to stay clean. Just keep it in mind for the future. Good luck to you

No not clean but off Heroin and that in itself is good.

But start tapering down whatever else you are using to get totally clean. You are just prolonging the wds and won't get to the next phase. It takes time to get past the depression and no energy.

Many have used L-tyrosine and gotten good results for energy. Otherwise stop the rest and in couple weeks you should see a difference. Hang in there!!!

Dont want to be rude , but if you still using opiates gow are you 20 days clean, get some help go to treatment, if you really want it, recovery should the most important worry in your life
