Talk:Heroin withdrawal

Valium Treatment
1. Benzodiazepines do not have a high potential for dependence/addiction, especialy with short term use such as covering withdrawl from another drug.

In virtualy every country, they are placed in lower controled drug scheduals than opiates, because their abuse risk is less

Also,surely this section should be called "Diazepam Treatment" or better still, "Benzodiazepine treatment"

 * Well, the abuse potential and euphoria ratings for benzodiazepines would be significantly lower than opiates but I disagree with you when they say they do not have a high risk of dependence. Benzodiazepines are not usually a first-line drug for opiate withdrawal, as they are not cross-tolerant. There are several other drugs which are better treatment options for opiate withdrawal.-- Literature geek |  T@1k?  22:58, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

loperamide
loperamide is an opiate and should not be used for heroin withdrawal even though it doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier. i'm no expert, but my doctor, who only specialises in opiates, is and told me not to take it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.72.107 (talk) 14:18, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

A opiate withdrawal page
I see a page about benzodiazepine withdrawal, so why not make a page about every opiates (not only heroin).--Realxsalo (talk) 07:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes I agree, that would be a good idea. :)-- Literature geek |  T@1k?  23:00, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
