try valerian root. it is a herbal sedative and will smooth withdrawals. I recommend cold turkey, meaning stop all drugs at once without a taper as it is fast and effective (usually).
also fish oil will lift your mood. you can buy valerian and fish oil from your grocery store or a herbal store. most people are paranoid about contaminants in their herbs. to some extent that is a problem but it is very minor.
