People keep asking me how to get off painkillers naturally. Well the thing is, you’re going to be in a bit of pain no matter what you do. Either getting off painkillers, or getting on suboxone and then tapering off suboxone, you’re going to have some pain.

The running joke with me and my friends when we were kicking the dope was ” My back hurts so much I couldn’t pick up a hundred dollar bill”. That’s going to be one of the biggest things is the pain in the back, and joints over the WHOLE body. The things that helped me through he last little bit of getting off suboxone and opiates were several things. Flexicose for the joint pain and Formula 303. These are herbal formulas. Flexicose is a superior blend of liquid glucosamine and chondroiton, and damn worth the small price, WAY better than any pill form. Formula 303 is an herbal muscle relaxer and sedative to help relieve the pain and tension of the body in withdrawal.

You can look up and purchase the items through Amazon, here’s a link:

I use a supplement that I accidentally stumbled upon when I was looking to get off of painkillers a while back. It’s not too expensive and it have several qualities about it that I really like and still take it for and it’s called 5-HTP.  5-htp, otherwise known as 5-Hydroxytryptophan, is a precursor to serotonin, and is used as an antidepressant, appetite suppressant, and sleep aid.

While researching things in regard to opiate withdrawal it is one of the things that I took to help improve my mood and relieve pain from the withdrawal of an opiate. I have since kept using it as an appetite suppressant to help me lose a little weight, as well as helping me with ongoing improved moods and lessen anxiety

The thought that 5-HTP can cause increase in serotonin levels by causing the brains serotonin making neurons to increase activity in the making of serotonin. Increased serotonin making actiovity leads to increased serotonin release levels which then causes an improved mood. It is also said to help with anxiety, tension and appetite.

Some health care professionals say that a usual dose of about 50mg is right and doesages of 100mg+ is considered high. The higher dosages have also had some side effect that should be looked at. Before taking 5-htp consult a physician about it and your health to see  if it is a supplement you should take.

5-htp can be ordered at Amazon to be delivered to your doorstep here:

Their both good, I have my bottle of the Natrol right here next to me.

Anyway, hope that helps…
