Hey I have searched and researched about different things I can obtain over the counter to make at home detoxing from opiates a bit more comfortable then cold turkey.. I live in Canada and some of the medications non prescription aren't avaiable here. And I was also wondering for those of you addicts on these forms to reply if you have experienced this first hand and can give me more insight please and thank you in advance for your help and information

Hello, Missboo37! How are you?

It would actually be best to do a slow taper with professional help from your doctor. The preferred method seems to be to have someone start skipping doses, while gradually lowering their dosage.

When I went cold turkey off of pain management, I discovered that hot soaks in the tub were very helpful for the rebound pain and muscle spasms.

Does anyone else have any advice to offer?
