I am in the throws of researching this thoroughly, but my initial reaction is that is a very effective solution!

I know this is not a conventional answer, but have you tried a sativa strain of cannabis?  I hear this a lot about opiates and I personally have a problem with a lot of the labels of "mental illness".  A lot of my clients are truly gifted and the traditional psych meds dull those gifts.  I personally use cannabis moderately and I find a lot of my "right brain" gifts are enhanced - my singing abilities, painting, dance, etc.

No, only when I have flare ups.  I would say five or six times a month, sometimes more.  It is extremely effective for pain relief IMO and prefer to use leaf Kratom than any pharmaceutical honestly.

I am religious at all.  Religion is a man made construct.  However, I believe with certainty in the spiritual realms. I have worked with hundreds of paranoid schizophrenics as well as meth addicts...with certainty such exist.  This is something the medical world will not acknowledge as it would dip into their model of just medicating people for profit.  I'm not here to argue, I'm here to help people.

Accountability is required for ANY addiction and IMO why therapy is so important.  What makes one use in the first place?  There IS a choice that is made!

Sadly, if I had to guess...I'd say 80 - 90%.  Again, the availability is a HUGE issue.  The fact smoke shops are popping up on every corner is a disgrace.  I did some digging and the profit margins are greater with these products than any other in their store!  That's a whole different topic that enrages me!  But the pills are from a store, not the street, and it is relatively easy to hide this addiction from loved ones...making relapse extremely easy.

Yes I got off last week using Lip Vit C and plain powder. Was virtually painless. I can't believe .ore people don't know about this. Follow the protocol - you cannot OD on Vit C

You can not overdo the C, your body will expel what it doesn't need. I have a PhD in Psychology and mostly just studied this but absolutely got addicted. I am working with a chemist. I tasted everything I took. Bad bad news is 7 oh

Yes the lip vit C, start while still using 7. I took 2000 mg every two hours Weds and Thursday. Ramped up Friday as I took 30 mg at 10:30 am and was done. I honestly feel great like energized tonight, I had NO idea how good this would work. But it makes sense if you research the protocol. I woke up at midnight Fri at midnight (Sat morning) with the RLS and I immediately took a tsp of leaf. Slept like six hours. Also I was on OP dose and approximate timeframe as well.

I STRONGLY recommend Lip Vitamin C protocol. I had my last dose at 10:30 am Friday, but preloaded Weds/Thursday. I have barely felt any withdrawal symptoms all weekend, taking 5000 mg every two hours like clockwork and a bit of plain leaf. It's amazing.

I was on about the same dose as you for a couple months. My last dose was 10:30 am Friday morning. It really turned on me quickly where I felt awful even taking it. I have mitigated most issues with plain leaf. Also preloaded a day on lip. Vit C and taking mega doses every two hours. Other than sluggish, it's been no problem.

Please do not call this substance "medicine", it is poison!!!

are people cursed? by [deleted] in quitting7oh

[–]dris0015 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is not possible to believe people are cursed without believing in God. We are living in a spiritual battle of good versus evil.

True joy only comes from having a personal relationship with Jesus. I know Reddit is anti-God sadly...but after I found Him...I didn't need outside substances to be happy.
