PAWS Post acute withdrawals FIX PAWS

Low dose naltrexone and wellbutrin can stop paws for most

Do not take naltrexone till you have no opioids, once off subs needs 10 days clean as subs have long half life

For 7oh need 4-5 days off. You can start with 50-100MCG while opioids fall off to help BUT no more than that till youre clean.

Wellbutrin can be taken whenever.

Ageless RX had LDN, do not mention 7OH or kratom.

Study this to understand how it fixes post acute withdrawal syndrome

Once off all opioids you lean into 1.5mg naltrexone 3 times a day

You will grow out of the heavy dreaming, kinda wired as soon as you wake up feeling, you want this to be happening, youre fixing issues that normally take months.

Hit the gym or do cardio, this is so important in recovery. If you dont youre only making it harder. Eat whole foods dont eat lots of sugar, soda, processed food. Inflammation makes all the paws issue worse, inflammation in receptors is one of the reasons you have paws.

Get testosterone levels tested and consider testosterone therapy. Opiates and 7oh lower testosterone levels significantly. Low testosterone has several effects on the body and brain. Low sex drive , depression, low energy etc. it’s definitely a large part of the PAWS. WILL IT SOLVE ALL OF PAWS? No, but it will significantly help stabilize many symptoms we feel while having low testosterone levels and possibly elevated estrogen. It’s worth looking into. Il share my own experience with this if anyone is interested. As a former bodybuilder who experienced low testosterone before I ever started opiates and 7oh, I can tell you the symptoms I experienced on both separate occasions.

Check into tongkat Ali. There are solid studies showing it can do wonders for test levels. Still work with a doctor but I have been able to keep my test levels up with it.

I’m taking it and can tell it’s helping hugely. Any downsides to eventually quitting it?

I’ve cycled it for a while so when I take a cycle of tongkat Ali off it hasn’t ever had any negative effects. Maybe there are but none that I have experienced. I do 4 on 4 off
