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."

For Opiate Withdrawal "I’m a 40-year-old female who started on oxycodone after a car accident around 2012 and progressed to heroin, then on Suboxone for several years and relapsed and have been using fentanyl since I guess 2020 or so (nasal use). I detoxed on clonidine and hydroxyzine at a detox facility, but they would only give me those meds for 7 days and then 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 0.18 mg tablets, and I made the mistake of reading these reviews just after I took my 1st dose this morning and had myself so psyched out, but I’m finally feeling okay. I don’t normally have higher 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 less serious side effects than clonidine."

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."
