Dear tracy,
I am not familiar with these drugs. Are they medications or nutritional supplements.
But if you have a drug addiction, this can be treated without recourse to drugs by nutritional means.
Please read:
Drug Addiction is a Nutritional Disorder at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/drug_addictions_nutritional_disorder.htm...
Please check yourself with
The Nutrition-Behavior Inventory Questionnaire (NBI) at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/nutrition-behavior_inventory.html
and
The Hypo Quizz at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.org/hypo_test.asp
If you score high it is most likely that you are hypoglycemic, which can cause addiction.
The major non-drug treatment is going on a hypoglycemic diet and followed upo with a
Self-help PSYCHOTHERAPY course at;
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/i-psychotherapy.html
These are self-help courses.
See how you go and let me know how you go.
