UpdatedWill purata help with heroin withdrawal and insomnia?

You will require an opiate or opioid in reducing dosage to fully withdraw from any dependence, but Purata (oxazepam) can be used adjunctively, and for a while after you have stopped using opiates, as an aid to the inevitable anxiety and irritability which follows an addiction to mu-agonists like heroin, morphine, oxycodone etc. LOFEXIDINE can also help with the other symptoms you are likely to experience after quitting opiates and is extremely effective.
So yes, it can help, but certainly not on its own. Your doctor or Pharmacist can advise on your particular condition. I myself used lofexidine and another benzodiazepine, alprazolam, in reducing doses, for two weeks (lofexidine can be used for only nine days) after a dependency on opiates. Oxazepam is a relatively weak benzodiazepine, and not as sedating as many like diazepam, but will still help with the inevitable anxiety you will feel on quitting.
Has anyone taken, Lofexidine, which is new and reduces the effects of withdrawals?
