RE: The Law Of Unintended Consequences: Trump's War On Opioids
Have any of you suffering from opiate use/abuse ever looked into safer alternatives?
There is Kratom and Black Seed Oil that may help you wean off of opiates. However Kratom is an opiate as well, but a safer and legal one at that. You can also have withdrawals/addictions with it but if you know what your doing you can use this to get over the hardcore opiates.
Black Seed Oil is another great oil that has a ton of benefits and is not a drug. But it supposedly does hit slightly on the opiate receptors. It may also be another aid in helping withdrawal since it can also help calm you down a bit.
Black seed oil is useless (at least for me) I hear Kratom has side effects much like speed. No thanks!
There are different strains of Kratom. Some stimulating, relaxing or a mix of both. I've never heard it compared to speed though. Although I guess if you take a stimulating strain and do a ton of it that something like that may happen.
I've taken all strains of Kratom and have been able to come off and on of it pretty easily but I know everyone is different.
Someone else suggested it so I began to do some research and a few articles I read said it had an effect like a stimulant... I'm high strung enough!
If your high strung have you ever looked into L-Theanine? It's not a drug or anything like that. I found that it helps to calm me down.
Are you high strung due to anxiety or any reason in particular? You may want to look into foods that help balance your gaba and glutamate. Foods high in MSG can cause your gaba to drop giving you high anxiety/strung out effect.
You can always give meditation a try as well, it may take some time to see the results but it's worth it.
High anxiety... Financial woes... Plus I'm one of the high energy overachievers that is having trouble adjusting to old age!
hah that sounds EXACTLY like me. All meds/drugs/supplements can do is slightly ease the pain or calm down your thoughts..which the calming down isn't that bad since it can help you concentrate and figure stuff out.
Have you ever heard of Polygala Tenuifolia? It's a chinese herb? A lot of people swear by this, and I just got it today.. I'm not sure if its a placebo effect or just a first day symptom but I'm actually surprised that it knocked out anxiety for me and I actually feel better.. You should read up on it and maybe see if it could benefit you. I'm still holding out since sometimes supplements work great the first day and then nothing happens after that.
14 hours of sleep did me a world of good. I've always been manic in my work habits- I push until I drop... It's the only way to make it through special forces training.
