help w/ opitate withdraws

i am currently weening off of methadone and went to the dr to get something to help me sleep and got perscribed gabapentin...it takes the edge off and kinda slows the mind down so your not stressing so much.....the dr told me to take it before bed or anytime during the day if i was having anxiety from my withdraws..it has effects like a benzo as far as slowing the mind down but isnt as strong ..it is non narcotic and non habit forming...its deff not a miracle cure for wd but really has helped me...and there is also a natural anxiety pill called a2x which helps your body naturally regulate stress and anxiety and help boost levels of gaba and serotonin...and low serotonin is a big cause of wd...and those who are going cold turkey, white tea will help, and a liquid multi-vitamin supplement because vitamin pills you actally dont absorb very well (liquid absorbs better) and you actually pee out about 80% of the pills depending on the brand, other than that everyone else has named everything else that helps with withdraws. this has really helped me hopefully it will help someone
