Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is the other pandemic that is sweeping our country. It breaches all economic, social, racial and ethnic boundaries. It is rampant in urban, suburban and rural areas. OUD is difficult to treat even if treatment is available. Current treatment is labor and/or medicine intensive and therefore expensive to administer. Many treatments involve replacing opioids with other less addictive opioids or opiates. Withdrawal symptoms can be constant and severe.
Which brings me to a treatment I recently read about which is the exact opposite of current treatment: it is inexpensive, readily available, and reduces or possibly eliminates withdrawal symptoms. This treatment is simply Vitamin C. Or rather buffered Vitamin C, also known as sodium ascorbate. The dose is typically 2grams (2000mg) of sodium ascorbate every 2 waking hours, though that may vary from person to person. Stopping opioid use does not happen immediately with this treatment but it significantly cuts the cravings. The patients are able to drastically reduce their intake and usually are able to be off all opioids, including treatment meds, within a few months. Over the years there have been a few studies that have shown this positive effect of Vitamin C on opioid use and withdrawal symptoms. There have been no recent studies to verify the results. The probable reason for this (and this is a common problem for research about natural treatments) is that there is no profit incentive for doing the research. A week's worth of Vitamin C for this treatment can cost around $15 and is available at almost any pharmacy, supermarket or health food store.
I have never treated anyone for OUD. I expect that I may never. I can not guarantee that this treatment will work for everyone who tries it. However, OUD is widespread. It is possible that some of your friends or family members have OUD. I am forwarding this information to you in case it is useful. Hopefully it will save some lives of our loved ones in the future.
mix the vitamin C with sunflower lecithin, rick simpson oil and gabapentin it will be a lot easier
I have read online to use Liposomal Vitamin C for withdrawals. It's a big difference from the regular vitamin c, it's delivered differently through the body and works better and won't bother your stomach. Very high doses of Liposomal Vitamin C gets people through withdrawals
So I'd like to say iv been addicted to fentanyl for almost 4 years and the vitamin c thing works great I'm on day 4 didn't figure out the vitamin c thing till I started to read more about it day 2 I started the vitamin c which I didn't really fill much relief but toward the end of day 3 I felt a major relief of withdrawal symptoms and day 4 seem almost none but it's there still just not 100 percent dieing from the withdrawal Definitely eased it to about 75%
Would love to have more information on vitamin c for opioid withdrawal, please email me with any info you have, please mzidrashko@gmail.com thank you, I truly appreciate it!!
