Tyro/b6--How to take

I have read all of your posts about L-tyro and b6 etc. Thank you all for infomormation. My question is do you stop all the pain meds. before taking the L-tyro and b6, or do you overlap them. I am currently taking oxycontin 40mg 2x daily and lorcet 10/650 2 3x daily. Should I just go cold or what is the protocol? Sorry if my question is a little confusing. Thank you all in advance for any advice you can give me.----Your Friend----Michael

alchemist:
there is a concensus of opinion that detoxing gets progresively
worse each time you go through it. i'm not so sure about this. i
think it may seem worse as you become more familiar with what to
expect. in some ways it has become much easier for me. the first
real good w/d from an "oil burning sized habit" was much worse
than it is today. all sorts of variables like dose size, body
weight, attitude... they all seem to have affect on w/d. i do
believe a person can "learn" to minimise the horrors of w/d. my
attitude seems to dictate how bad a w/d will be. i've also dis-
covered the sooner i'm up exercising, the sooner i feel beter. i
don't mean lifting weights (although you could). things like brisk
short walks, maybe a bike ride. the only thing i have ever done
sitting around is lots of dope, so get up and get moving!!

all this stuff i just said is my opinion only. the important thing
about detoxing is to get going and see it through to the end!

Can anyone please explain why detox is harder each time one goes through it, I've thought about it many times and find it to be true, but I can't come up with a logical reason why.

sorry, although i don't generally believe anyone here has to apologize for writing unless they are unkind to someone - i went off on a tangent...i tend to do that when i'm here.  

i think you can start taking them before or during.  after all, they are only vitamins and amino acids right?  i just have heard that you shouldn't take the l-tyrosine if you are taking an ssri antidepressant (like prozac). i asked the vitamin store owner about that and he said don't take tyro unless you are taking an mao inhibitor (like lithium) or something.  i am no doctor, so don't take this as fact...i'm just racking my tired brain here trying to come up with something useful for you.

why would you think you are crazy?  you're just like any one of us, and i for one am not crazy (at the moment).  are you taking a bunch of percs still, or have you moved onto heroine?  i have heard that thomas' recipe has worked wonders for many people.  i tried it, and it didn't do it for me.  i have tried EVERYTHING.  now i'm doing the buprenex thing, but i dread the day i have to stop that.  some days i am more hopeful about success than others.  lots of people do it, so why shouldn't we be able to right?  willpower....must have more willpower.  i wish i could just be hypnotized into thinking i hate drugs...unfortunately i don't think there is any easy way.  i've heard many mixed reviews about "rapid detox" - plus it is ridiculously expensive.  i'll stick with what i'm doing, and see how it goes.  good luck to you - keep posting...it helps (me).
