Trying to find a doctor to work with me but that is proving difficult.  Where can I find dosages, doctors, guidance and  anyone who has gone this route and succeeded.  \"</p>\n<hr>\n<p>Hello,\nI'm  glad to hear of your willingness to take steps  towards sobriety.  However, overcoming a heroin addiction is a complex  and arduous task.  We can help with ameliorating some of the unpleasant symptoms of opiate withdrawal. However, it would be medical malpractice to work as the primary physician for what should be  a multi-modal treatment strategy led by a physician with specialized  training in addiction medicine.</p>\n<p>Symptoms of opiate withdrawal may include: muscle aches,  restlessness, anxiety, runny nose, sweating, insomnia, abdominal  cramping, diarrhea,  nausea and vomiting. Cannabis should help alleviate pain, anxiety,  insomnia, restlessness and nausea; these issues are best treated with a decent amount of THC. Accordingly, I would likely discourage, unless the patient were averse to THC, using a Very high CBD vs low THC   product, nor would I recommend Very high CBD strains in this situation.</p>\n<p>drkim</p>\n<hr>\n<p>Here are products and strains for you to consider:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.cbd.org/products/chocolates/1-1-chocolate\">https://www.cbd.org/products/chocolates/1-1-chocolate</a> - a \"whole plant\" 2:1 edible</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://dosist.com/pen-relief/\">http://dosist.com/pen-relief/</a> - a 1:2 vaporizer pen</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://kivaconfections.com/products/bars/ginger\">http://kivaconfections.com/products/bars/ginger</a> - a 1:1 \"whole plant\" edible</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Some CBD strains to consider:\nSweet and Sour Widow - a 1:1 indica strain\nPennywise - a 1:1 indica strain\nCannatonic - a 3:1 hybrid strain</p>\n<p>Some \"standard\" strains to consider (indica or indica dominant hybrids):\nGrand Daddy Purp\nNorthern Lights\nGod's Gift\nChocolate Chunk</p>\n<p>For more detailed and customized recommendations, you can set up an appointment by clicking on the \"Doctor's Consult\" at www.hellomd.com</p>\n<p>I hope this helps some, and best of luck!</p>\n<p>drkim</p>","timeToRead":1}},"defaultImage":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.5,"src":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/a07a5/question-default-image.jpg","srcSet":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/decd9/question-default-image.jpg 150w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/15aed/question-default-image.jpg 300w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/a07a5/question-default-image.jpg 600w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/701ee/question-default-image.jpg 800w","srcWebp":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/483a3/question-default-image.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/e8bcc/question-default-image.webp 150w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/4fec1/question-default-image.webp 300w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/483a3/question-default-image.webp 600w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/2ad7f/question-default-image.webp 800w","sizes":"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"}}}},"pageContext":{"id":12242,"slug":"trying-to-wean-off-heroin","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
