I like to keep my doses low and try to take a week off every couple months just for good measure, but would like to try stem and vein instead. I was originally under the impression that it worked by just being lower quality and having less of the opioid receptor agonists, thus acting the same way as a lower dose taper. After dong some research, it seems like stem and vein actually works by having a different alkaloid profile, including many opioid receptor antagonists, which would maybe make it even more effective than a taper or week off. I’m currently trying it as an experiment, but I want to know what other people’s thoughts are.
