Withdrawal Work-Up II

October 12, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

First posted 11/11/2012 In my last post, I wrote about the work-up of a patient who experiences symptoms similar to opioid withdrawal that start about an hour after each dose of Suboxone.  We decided that the symptoms were signs of withdrawal—i.e. reduced activity of mu-opioid pathways—and that the symptoms were triggered by taking a daily … [Read more…]

Withdrawal Medications

November 2, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

I owe it to readers to make it clear that I do not endorse any product sold for the expressed purpose of reducing opioid withdrawal. I have PPC ads on the site, but I have no control over the ads that run in them. I am not saying that the products that often appear in … [Read more…]

Rapid Opioid Rip-Off

January 9, 2011 by admin 3 Comments

While I’m on the subject of rip-offs, I’ll mention an extreme form of ‘detox capitalism’; a process called rapid opioid withdrawal, rapid detox, or ‘the Waismann Method.’ The name of the process supposedly comes from a certain ‘Dr. Waismann’ who helped Israeli soldiers get off opioids after they were treated for various injuries.  It sounds … [Read more…]

Withdrawal from Suboxone

December 31, 2010 by admin 27 Comments

Treatments for Opioid Withdrawal

July 20, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

I have written about this topic multiple times, but perhaps a summary is appropriate.  More and more evidence and clinical experience suggest that buprenorphine is best considered a long-term ‘remission agent’ for opioid dependence.  Such a conclusion would have been obvious years ago if not for the hesitancy to do what has been suggested by … [Read more…]

Opiate withdrawal: hell beyond words– does your doctor care?

May 11, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

I am often told by opiate addicts that they would kill themselves rather than go through withdrawal again.  I assume  that the comments are  exaggerations to make a point.   But a recent nightmare helped me realize that the comments are not hyperbole– but rather are serious attempts by addicts to describe just how horrible their experiences were.  I remember … [Read more…]
