withdraw from percocet

[soupy28]

i am helping someone withdraw from percocet.  we are trying the "thomas recipie"  any better suggestions?
hot baths, cold showers, klonopin to step down, l-tyrosine  do these things help?

I agree with Vicki... leave the Ltyrosine until the worst of wds are past..i gonna copy the list of the advices and tips we usually give, ok ? :)


here ,  




immodium ( diarrhea )

advil

a good vitamin complex and a good B's ...

some magnesium ( best chelated )+calcium supplements... to help you with muscle cramps and aches

potassium rich food... apple/orange juice  , bananas, spinach, raisins, nutcrackers..

a good chicken soup, tomato soup, eat as healthy as possible ...some protein shakes.

this is very important, .....drink a lot of fluids to keep you hydrated ... gatorades, green tea ( theanine on it, will help your mood and to relax), tonic water ( it has quinine and it will help you with RLS )

Hylands restful legs to help you with RLS , hylands cramps legs

maybe some natural stuff to help you with sleep like melatonin and valerian root ( good for anxiety too and it helped me with the stomach cramps , imo).

lots of hot baths ( with epsom salts if you have them ...)

start with walks and some light exercise as soon as you can to boost your endorphines, enjoy the sun ... exercise will really help you a lot to feel and heal :)

Hi~Hot baths are wonderful. No cold showers!!  Klonopin will help. I don't like the L-tyrosine in the beginning. It can cause a real jittery,anxiou feeling.

Lots of fluids and juices. A good multi vitamin. Hylands Restfull Legs,Immodium(Get it.It works on many levels.) Soups and toast.

Where is this person as far as withdrawals? Starting today?

Keep posting!  Lots of support here.

Getting out and doing things helped me. Your friend may not feel like it but for me it was better than laying around. How many days have they been in withdrawl?
