For Opiate Withdrawal "This medication has helped me gain back my freedom. I have chronic pain and was prescribed roxys for it. My husband got a herniated disc and couldn't get help, so we bought what we thought were roxys off the street and ended up with a 3-year fentanyl addiction. I tried suboxone several times and went into precipitated withdrawal. I couldn't get past day 2 of withdrawals without relapsing. I went to a detox and was given Lucemyra, 2 pills every 8 hours 4 times a day. I didn't have the shakes, terrible sweating, tremors, runny eyes, and nose. I basically was left with digestive issues which I used Imodium and Zofran to help with. On days 3 and 4, I felt a little bit of the skin crawls at hour 5 while waiting to take my next dose of Lucemyra. It did lower my blood pressure, therefore making me sleepy. I was able to make it through detox with no suboxone and get clean. This medication should be available to people with any opioid addiction, especially fentanyl, heroin, and suboxone, to stop."

For Opiate Withdrawal "Was hooked on the Mexican fents for 4 months. Started taking Lucemyra in conjunction with buprenorphine. I tried the buprenorphine by itself and with the lucemyra during the first 72 hours. Can honestly say lucemyra did nothing. Absolutely nothing. If it wasn't in a bottle directly from the pharmacy I would speculate that my doc gave me a placebo."

For Opiate Withdrawal "I am almost to the last two tapering days and I'm already feeling almost completely healthy and normal. I thought I'd need the maximum 14 day treatment but it looks like the 9 day treatment will be plenty sufficient. I was on fentanyl for months before I went to a methadone clinic to get help and I went there for just over a year and was up to 170mg a day. I was so worried and afraid that I'd end up withdrawing for the maximum of 20 to 35 days because of the research I looked up about the methadone withdrawal time-line stating that the withdrawal can go on for 14 days to just over a month depending on how high your daily dose is and how long you've been taking it. I'm 34 and still in decent health so this medication seemed safe for me but if you have heart or health problems then I would absolutely talk to a knowledgeable doctor if possible before starting this medication just to be cautious.As far as side effects I barely even got dry mouth or lightheaded when standing. It REALLY help"

For Opiate Withdrawal "I will take the dizziness for three days with this over the horrific withdrawal symptoms ANY DAY! I did not have any of the awful withdrawal symptoms. Just severe dizziness, weakness, fatigue, and insomnia that my Lunesta helped with. I also took Imodium . I have been a pain management patient for 7 years for debilitating pains due to autoimmune diseases. I take 15mg OxyContin extended release 2 times a day and Oxycodone 15mg immediate release 2 times a day. I can now once a month purge my body of the pain meds and hit the reset button so that it keeps working the way I need it to relieve the pain. Not just pop a pills to keep away the withdrawal symptoms and not even get any pain relief because my body is so used to it it won’t relieve pain anymore. I’m in control now, not my pain meds! I took 2 pills every 6 hours day 1 and 2, then day 3, 1 pill every 6 hours, then 1/2 a pill every 8 hours days 4. I never took the full 3 pills. Got samples of it from my doctor."

For Opiate Withdrawal "Went to detox for suboxone and Valium and vodka. Did vodka detox with Ativan. Then buphrenorphine taper. Was fine. No shakes or nothing. Started lucemyra guessing doctors get a portion of the gigantic cost of drug. Left me just hitting the floor if I tried to stand up. Counselors witnessed, nurses made aware but kept giving it. Once I got out and stopped, can’t afford $2000. Shakes hit, haven’t eaten in 3 days. Tremors from head to toe. Can’t stand without nearly passing out. Not in a good way. Avoid at all costs.Refuse it."

For Opiate Withdrawal "I have read all the reviews & I am really scared to take this medication. My doctor prescribed it to me & I was advised that it was the only medication he prescribes for patients coming off opioids. I have been taken extended release for 9 yreas now. I just don’t want to go through the aches & pains, sweats, chills etc. This medication cost $2 thousand dollars & the reviews are scary. You would think for that amount of money it would work with less problems. My doctor will not prescribe any other medications other than this & I'm confused to why he only suggests this when all he had to do was read up on it like I did. He’s the doctor. I just want to get better. I was in a car wreck & was prescribed opioids & my tolerance over the years have became very addictive. I pray for anyone that has to go through this & spend thousands of dollars on a medication that has so many bad reviews. I’m confused to why it was approved."

For Opiate Withdrawal "I'm a 40-year-old female that started on oxy's after a car accident around 2012 and progressed to heroin. Then, I was on Suboxone for several years and relapsed. I've been using fentanyl since, I guess, 2020 (nasal use). I detoxed on clonidine and hydroxyzine at a 'detox facility,' but they would only give me those meds for 7 days. Then, they tried to push me onto Zubsolv, so I left and got super sick and relapsed again. I just started this medication today, on my 3rd dose of 3 0.18mg tablets, and I made the mistake of reading these reviews just after I took my 1st dose this morning. I had myself so psyched out, but I'm finally feeling okay. I don't normally have high blood pressure, so I got a little worried reading these reviews, but I've also read a ton of other info that says this medication has had fewer serious side effects than clonidine."

For Opiate Withdrawal "It helped take the withdrawals away. But sent me to the hospital twice bout to die. It lowered my potassium and magnesium. Which caused my heart rate to drop down to 44, I was given shots of atropine in an Iv which brought me back up. Stayed in the hospital for 5 days. Had a few EKGs which showed my heart was not beating right. Was literally about to die. In the hospital, they put me on clonidine and I got better. Lucemyra give me a severely dry mouth, dizziness, no appetite, weak could barely walk, food tasted weird, and just no energy, I felt disassociated and had super high blood pressure. It may work for some but for me, there are too many risks, I’ll stick with clonidine."

For Opiate Withdrawal "This drug was recommended to me by my doctor, who didn't know much about it. I did a little research on it, and because I also didn't know anything about it, I'll continue to be stuck on Suboxone for another year, weaning myself down gradually. I was on the lowest milligram of Suboxone, and it took me a whole year to get enough courage to finally try Lucemyra. It changed my life. I have been off all opiates now for over six months, and I can't even tell you how great I feel. How friendly the pharmacy techs were really great explaining to me the process. The best part was it was free! It was not covered under my insurance, but my doctor just had to write a referral for me, and it was paid for. I hope that everybody is able to try this new drug. I only had to take it for like a week. I wish I would've done it a long time ago."

For Opiate Withdrawal "I had spent 20 years on Subutex aka suboxone. I tampered myself down to 4mg for the past 3 years and I used Lucemyra to get off finally and it did wonders. No Restless leg syndrome, no cold hot flashes, no creepy crawling feeling and I am a little over 2 weeks with no subs and I feel great. Yes this medication makes you so tired you don’t even want to get up to walk to the bathroom but I will take that all day over feeling withdrawal symptoms. The last time I got off subs I was just off of 24 mg a day with nothing, I didn’t even take Tylenol it was the worst experience of my life. I have been reading reviews about some people taking Lucemyra who had to go to the hospital. I guess it’s hit or miss with some people on this drug but I would say give it a try it’s only money and yes a lot of money. Cost me $2500 to fill 96 pills but there are programs if you go to the Lucemyra website to get it for as little as $300."

For Opiate Withdrawal "10 out of 10 for sure! 145 mg of methadone! Lucemyra is a miracle drug that should be easier to get than Suboxone or methadone! I had literally zero withdrawal."
