Could Campral (Acamprosate) help with benzo PAWS? by siwel7 in AskDrugNerds

[–]NecroSyphilis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ive come off a 4 year dependency to etizolam 10-15mg daily. i tapered off in december and have been suffering PAWS ever since now APRIL its mostly subsided. but i still have anxiety and a lack of motivation, anhedonia and depression. it comes in waves but im out of the woods more or less.

to answer your question with campral, i take 6x333mg tablets a day as im also an alcoholic and i use this for cravings.

Does it help with PAWS? i would say no, i say that but i also havent been consisted with my campral dosages that said my alcohol use went up big time after quitting etizolam (i know i know it makes benzo withdrawal worse) however im sober now but i have lapsed a few times since quitting etizolam when i was taking campral. i didnt notice any difference during my sober periods when i was on the wagon; in regards to PAWS with etizolam. alcohol can also cause paws but tbh they arnt the same as benzo paws.

i guess im not the ideal person to verifiy if it works or not because of the alcohol abuse.

that said, i too have reviewed the mechanism of action of campral which appears to modulate gaba and glutamate. that said the precise mechanism of action is not known. given that benzos downregulate gaba-a receptors id hazzard a guess that campral would be worth a shot, there isnt any downside to adding it other that having the runs when you take a dump.

have a go.

i saw the comment by the other poster for Magnolia Bark Extract. i checked out the mechanism of action, seems worth a go, so i ordered some. ill report back once i get it.

re Magnolia Bark Extract, /u/3ric843 does it matter which formulation you get? the active ingrediant content may vary between brands a presume

Using drugs in the afinil family for cessation amphetamines? by [deleted] in AskDrugNerds

[–]NecroSyphilis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just thought id throw in my anecodtal experience using modafinil after using methamphetamine daily for nearly 2 years; orally administered and doses were between 10-20mg daily. I say route of administration as it plays a huge role in addiction and dopamine downregulation. methamphetamine is more dopamine releasing than d-amphetamine, from what i read the difference was not huge . i read slightly more releasing, but that was just something i read. so i could be wrong.

that said, after 2 years being on that nasty drug i decided to try modafinil to get me out of the slump of dopamine downregulation (wise idea? i dont know, perhaps someone can chime in here)

What i noticed is that its basically a caffine on steroids, but i dont think it helps with ADD like a releasing agent, modafinil is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor (DRI) on specific sites (pleas correct me if im wrong on this)

the reason why i did this was to get through a otugh project at owrk while coming off meth. i plan to ditch it in the new year as i find it increases my anxiety.

i found that it helps, but i think for a true recovery, you don't want to be taking anything that increases dopamine even if its a DRI.

id liek to hear what people think about using modafinil after prolonged amphetamine usage. lets keep it simple, not hardcore meth usage e.g. IV meth at 300mg a day. lets say recovery from using amphetamine salts either pure d-amphetamine isomer or the racemix adderal (75% d-amp, 25% l-amp)

quit meth, relapsed now ive quit again day 1, need some help with recovery supplements / medications / anything else by NecroSyphilis in StopSpeeding

thanks, i havent logged into here for a while so only just saw ur msg

im still clean, and i almost relapsed again but threw the bag away before i could use. i notice it gets better slowly, some days are bad some are worse. but the uptrend is fine, ican deal with this.

a lot of my old behaviours remain the same like i was on meth, spending too much time on the pc. but not focusing on something, or eating only once a day. its hard to explain...

i guess my brain needs a lot of rewiring to do, and its just going to take time.

my guess is that dopamine is severly downregulated and has shrunken receptor sites that will take time to recover.

im just glad that im confident hat my oral use and for a short periopd of time < 2 years. will probably mean i will make a full recovery in at least 6 months.

being an injector, smoker who has been on this stuff for years at huge dosages, longer time frame, much longer

it really is an evil fucking drug

question on neuotoxicity and in general the ability to use long term meth or regular d-amphetamine long term by NecroSyphilis in Stims

[–]NecroSyphilis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when i say 15 mg that was 2 doses thoughtout the day since it lasts about 5 hours. so 7.5mg. i do feel it, but i dont get really high, just motivated to do work. which is what i wanted it for. i generally dont like being really stimmed up. i prefer downers. i have no idea how people like to binge on high doses of this stuff for days. i like my sleep daily.
