There is a drug out there that supposedly “cures” opiate addiction. It is taken once and afterwards your opiate receptors in the brain are “reset”, stopping the cravings. It’s not suboxone..
I know there’s one to save heroin users’ lives during overdose. Forget the name. Is that what you’re talking about?
If there’s another one that really does that, i’d like to know it,.
Was taking pain killers for post stroke pain. The precipitated withdrawal did more damage than the stroke.
Thinking maybe this pill could “reset” damaged receptors, but I should probably stay away from medicine as much as possible.
For those who have gone through PW, you know it is horrifying, and can make a previous brain injury quite worse.
Will never get over NY Board finding him guilty of no wrongdoing. Made me lose faith in the system for a while.
But best to move on,
There is not a drug that cures opiate or alcohol addiction. I treat many such patients, and believe me if there was an easy answer, I would use it. Naltrexone can help, but it is not a magic button. Suboxone can also help, but it is very similar to methadone - it replaces opiates and is tapered gradually.
Ibogaine...is I believe what you’re thinking of but unfortunately it’s it’s illegal...which is too bad
