Quitting heroin cold turkey with OTC meds

June 2, 2017BlogNo CommentsQuit the habit

Jorge Fernandez from HowtoQuitHeroin​.com allows us to share his content. Here is one of his articles:

Plan A: Quitting heroin cold turkey with OTC meds:

​Plan A: Quitting heroin cold turkey with the help of OTC meds such as  Imodium, Tagamet, Nyquil, Dayquil, Robitussin Cough Gels and Valerian Root capsules along with frequent hot baths and long fast walks may be the best way for some of you to go.
​Imodium is an over-the-counter, anti diarrhea drug which contains Loperamide, and Loperamide is an opioid drug which helps to relieve diarrhea, stomach cramps and other withdrawal symptoms when ​taken at high dosages every 5 to 6 or 7 to 8 hours. In fact, it’s quite possible to quit heroin just by taking 24mg (12 caplets) to 30mg (15 caplets) of Imodium every 5 to 6 or every 7 to 8 hours for the first 2 to 3 days along with 400mg (2 tablets) of “Tagamet” and actually feel quite well.

Picture

​And I realize that quitting heroin cold turkey is easier said than done and it can also become dangerous for some. However, quitting heroin cold turkey with the help of OTC meds such as Imodium at high dosages, Tagamet to help the Imodium cross the blood brain barrier in the brain, Nyquil for watery eyes and runny nose, and Valerian Root capsules for anxiety, may be the best way to quit.

Why? Because once you quit heroin cold turkey with OTC meds then that’s it, you’re done. You wont have to worry about quitting heroin first, and then weaning yourself from other medications such as Methadone or Suboxone which can become just as addictive as heroin, if not, far worse. And once you get through the pain and suffering from the withdrawals, then you’ll have a much better chance of staying clean for good. You won’t ever want to go through that suffering ever again. And some of you may have no choice but to quit cold turkey due to lack of funds and lack of pharmaceutical drugs as well.

​PLEASE NOTE: If you follow the quitting heroin cold turkey instructions to the letter, i.e. Imodium at 20mg, 24mg to 30mg, then it’s going to be much more easier and much more bearable than you can possibly imagine. Some people write to me and tell me that they hardly felt the withdrawals at all because they did exactly what the article told them to do.
​

And if you follow my 7 day survival plan as well to the best of your ability, “How to Survive the First 7 Days“, then you just might make it out of this thing alive, and quite possibly emerge as a changed person.

I understand the pain of quitting heroin cold turkey. I’ve been there many times myself. But if you follow my article on quitting heroin cold turkey to the letter, then you can quit this thing and make it our alive.

Then from there, it’s just a matter of time, diet and exercise before your body can begin to return back to normal. It won’t be easy, but it can be done. And you can do it too!

To learn how to quit heroin cold turkey with specific step-by-step instructions then please read my article, “How to Quit Heroin Cold Turkey”, followed by, “How to Survive the First 7 Days”.

But don’t just read the articles – re-read them, study them, and do what they tell you to do. And in doing so, you will quit heroin, stay clean and turn your life around.

WARNING: Pregnant women should not attempt to quit heroin cold turkey as this may cause major brain damage and possibly death to your unborn child. Please read my article, “Quitting Heroin While Pregnant” for further details and instructions on how to quit heroin while pregnant.

Now, if you try Plan A, give it all you got and just cant seem to make it, or you’re not able to quit cold turkey for whatever the reason may be, then by all means, don’t give up and don’t slow down now; move on to Plan B as quickly as possible.
