> It does depend. In the uk it is quite difficult to get anything other than a methadone detox on the NHS, Although a recent government report pushed for the ability for GP's to prescribe diamorphine for addicits. The only option i had was a rapid lofexidine dextox. However i was not solely prescribed lofexidene.I was also given diaclofenac, respiridone, procyclidine, diazepam, chlopheniramine, metoclopromide, ibruprophen and hemineverin, chloral hydrate and zopiclone which sounds alot but it certainly cushoned my fall back to earth. I should also mention i was in the clinic for methamphetamine, lsd and dissociative anesthetic psychosis. When i realised where i was and what had happened i went into a deep depression. Effexor was very helpful with this and i had few discontinuation problems. My point is that i wanterd to stop abusing and because of this i do not crave drugs i feel physically ill at the prospect.Best wishes
