For Opiate Withdrawal "I will be brief, or I'll run out of room. I was on 300 mg of oxy a day for a serious spinal injury. I wanted to either go off or taper and restart my tolerances or SOMETHING because 300 mg was not enough after 15 years. If you want to die, take Lucemyra. After two days, it sent my blood pressure sky-high and my heart rate. I can ride 50 miles on my bike any given day, so my cardiovascular system is good and was given a thumbs up upon scans. I passed out 5 times, only 3 of which I remember. A camera caught the other two. The ambulance had to come and get me, and a six-day ordeal in the hospital ensued. I detoxed off the oxy, which was hard, but after 4 days, they had to reintroduce some into my system, and I started to recover. It is 1 tenth of what I was on. Lucemyra may tell you it could cause side effects. Well, bucko, it left me about an hour from death. The ER in a major hospital didn't even know what the hell it was! Work with your doctor to just taper. Don't use this stuff."

For Opiate Withdrawal "WARNING: After using Lucemyra just one day, two doses, I started having fainting spells. After two days, I was barely able to walk. Every time I stood up, I fell, and my blood pressure dropped. The reading when paramedics were at my house was at 73 over 50. I have now been in the hospital for 5 days because of this drug. I had a heart catheterization, and I still have abnormalities in my heart. I had a stress test 16 months ago. There were no irregularities, and I was a healthy 60-year-old. Now, I don't know what the future is. How this was ever approved is beyond my comprehension. And at a cost for a 30-day supply, if you have to pay for it, $5,600? Spare me. I was using Suboxone for severe pain, and this was prescribed to me for the detox process. Stay as far away as you can from this product. My once healthy heart is a total mess."
