In reply to Withdrawling from hydrocodone, posted by TBonz on October 18, 2005, at 0:01:41
Hi TBonz.
I have no personal experience with opioid withdrawal, but I thought I could at least reply to your post to offer some support.
What methods have you tried to discontinue hydrocodone in the past? What alternatives are you aware of other than going "cold turkey"? Have you considered anaesthesia-assisted detoxification?
There is some thought that certain anticonvulsants can help mitigate the withdrawal syndrome. I have seen Tegretol, Neurontin, and Lamictal mentioned. Depakote doesn't seem to help that much. I have a feeling that Trileptal and Lyrica would also be useful.
