When I detoxed... I took a 7 drug cocktail... I took tramadol (tapering doses starting with 150mg 3 times per day, clonidine, some muscle relaxants, anti-nausea meds etc... My MD said it was the same regimen they give someone with a severe heroin habit.
Did it take care of the withdrawal? Oh yeah, a lot of the traditional withdrawal symptoms... but the medication cocktail made me feel like I had the worst case of the flu ever. I spent most of my time for 5 days in bed and not eating a thing... and for an additional 7 it was as if all of my energy was zapped out of me.
I think there is no silver bullet here. Drugs may ease some symptoms but I can guarantee if you are a addicted, you will have a BAD week or 2... It's ok though... many are in the same boat as you!
