How DLPA Can Help with Opioid Withdrawal
If you're newly recovering from an opioid dependency, your endorphin-regulating system is out of whack πβ£
β£
In fact, it was likely out of whack before the addiction. β£
β£
A dysregulated endorphin system will have you feeling very uncomfortable. You might be able to will-power your way through a few months of abstinence, but unless you start regenerating what's missing, most people eventually drift back to the one thing that can be relied upon : β£
β£
More opiates. β£
β£
You can call it post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) - which is the period of time after the acute detox ends (you're not physically sick anymore), but the endorphins take months (and sometimes years) to rebound from the ππππ’πππ’πΌπ§ π’ππ¬ππ₯π, and that's to say nothing of the underlying deficiencies that led you to seek out those drugs in the first place. β£
β£
There are lots of natural interventions to spark endorphin production - exercise, meditation, massage, laughter, singing, etc. πΆπββοΈππ½ββοΈβ£
β£
In terms of dietary supplements, DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA) is an amino acid combination of the two amino acids : L-phenylalanine and D-phenylalanine. β£
β£
They work together and are two of the most natural and potent anti-depressant pain relievers we know of. They directly raise energy and decrease depression by providing the raw materials needed to make more of the deficient neurotransmitters.β£
β£
Adding DLPA to an established diet or supplement regimen that includes the full spectrum of B-vitamins, Vit C, Vit D, Magnesium and Omega-3 fats could work wonders to help rebuild a deficient endorphin supply. β£
β£
π A typical initial DLPA dosage might be 500mg 3 times daily (~ 8AM, 11AM, 2PM). β£
β£
Like other amino acids supplements, don't take DLPA if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure.β£
β£
If you take prescription anti-depressant, anti-psychotic, or neuroleptic medications, ask a practitioner before adding supplemental amino acids. β£
