For Opiate Withdrawal "Was on Fentanyl patch for over 8 years from a near-fatal accident. Decided to stop Fentanyl with Lucemyra. First 2 days were wonderful. I had the best sleep of my life. I was very sleepy and dizzy. The 3rd day, I was more awake and doing fine. This continued until the 9th day. My normally low blood pressure began to rise. On the 11th day after starting the drug, I had vomiting and such a severe headache that my husband took me to the ER. My blood pressure at that time was 195/95. I had a head CAT scan and was given non-opioid meds to relieve pain. I did not sleep at all for 38 hours. Now on day 13, I am not having any head pain, but am experiencing severe abdominal pain and diarrhea. I am very shaky. I have no real appetite, food tastes bad, and my stomach is so painful. Hoping things get better."

For Opiate Withdrawal "Terrible experience taking this medication for opiate withdrawals. Did very little with the withdrawal symptoms and left me unable to function with the day's tasks. It left me dizzy and disconnected. Hardly any sleep, no appetite, and feeling very cold all the time. All in all, the experience was miserable. My doctor had me discontinue taking it after 5 days."

For Opiate Withdrawal "It helped take the withdrawals away. But sent me to the hospital twice, about 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 gave me a severely dry mouth, dizziness, no appetite, weakness, 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."
