What is Levorphanol?

Levorphanol is an opioid pain medication (narcotic) used to treat moderate to severe pain. This medication may be prescribed for its ability to reduce pain quickly, but Levorphanol addiction is a potential risk factor for using this drug. All opioid-related pain medications come with this risk.

It is important to remember that as with all opioid drugs, this medication can interact with many other medicines and cause dangerous side effects, including death.

Common side effects of Levorphanol use may include:

  • Nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain
  • Constipation
  • Dizziness
  • Drowsiness
  • Lethargic
  • Headaches

Allergic reactions to Levorphanol may include the following and require immediate medical attention:

  • Hives or red spots and bumps appearing on the skin
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Swelling in the face, lips, throat, or tongue

Levorphanol, like other opioid drugs, can slow breathing to dangerously low levels. Seek immediate medical attention if you or someone else experiences long pauses in breathing, purple or blue discoloration of the lips, shallow breathing, or difficulty waking up.

Potential signs of misuse or overuse of Levorphanol, including Levorphanol addiction, increased risks include:

  • Noisy or shallow breathing
  • A slowed heart rate
  • Hard-to-find pulse
  • Lightheaded or the feeling of passing out
  • Severe stomach pain or digestive problems
  • Loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting
  • Extreme tiredness, difficulty waking
  • Physical weakness
  • Extreme mood changes, engaging in risky behavior, or unusual thoughts

Levorphanol Addiction

Levorphanol addiction is possible for anyone, even those taking the medication as prescribed by a doctor. Generally, addiction to Levorphanol can occur when a person is misusing or overusing the medication, but even prescribed doses can create dependency in some people.

Because coming off opioids can be so painful and hard to do safely, most people suffering from opioid use disorder should seek medical assistance to detox. Doctors can provide you with medications and sedatives at a hospital that makes your withdrawal symptoms less intense and much easier to deal with. Furthermore, non-addictive medications such as Naltrexone and Vivitrol may also help eliminate physical cravings.

Levorphanol Withdrawal Symptoms

Levorphanol dependence becomes obvious when a person experiences withdrawal symptoms when he or she suddenly stops using the drug. The symptoms of Levorphanol withdrawal usually occur shortly before the usual time of the next dose. Often, patients can start feeling withdrawal symptoms as early as 6-12 hours after the last administration.

Some early withdrawal symptoms of Levorphanol include:

  • Watery eyes
  • Insomnia
  • Diarrhea
  • Runny nose
  • Yawning
  • Dysphoria
  • Sweating and intense cravings.

After 12 Hours, symptoms may progress to:

  • Restlessness
  • Irritability
  • Body aches
  • Abdominal cramps
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Body tremors
  • Restless legs

More severe withdrawal symptoms may cause:

  • High blood pressure
  • Rapid Heart rate
  • Convulsions
  • Dehydration and even thoughts of suicide

Levorphanol Detox – When Is It Necessary?

Levorphanol detox may be necessary for those who have an addiction to this drug. Opioid detox in any form is difficult for the body, yet with treatment, it can be possible to reduce some of the risks and most of the pain related to it. A person suffering from a Levorphanol addiction should not just stop taking the medications without proper medical guidance. Sudden discontinuation of any opioid drug can create intense withdrawal symptoms, leading to health risks and, in extreme cases, life-threatening complications.

Rapid Detox for Levorphanol

Waismann Method® offers medical treatment and rapid detox for patients suffering from Levorphanol addiction. Rapid detox is a medical procedure where the patient is under anesthesia throughout the acute detox phase. This process significantly eliminates withdrawal symptoms of Levorphanol.

During the rapid detox, the patient is in a private ICU room for about 30 to 90 minutes. Following the procedure, patients remain in the ICU until the following day under strict medical supervision.

Although rapid detox is a quick process, patients are usually in the hospital for 2 to 4 days and at the recovery center a few more. At the recovery center, a patient’s physical and mental recovery is closely monitored by a team of professionals. Rapid detox by the Waismann Method® is significantly more effective than any other form of Levorphanol detox available.

Levorphanol Treatment

Detox is not a cure for Levorphanol addiction, but it does provide you with the tools and resources to start the process. Seek out treatment for Levorphanol addiction if you feel that you need to use more of the drug to get the same results. If you’re reliant on it or feeling withdrawal symptoms, you may need an effective solution.

Also, there are factors directly related to opioid use disorder that can be affecting your level of pain; conditions such as Hyperalgesia to hormone imbalances. It is essential to know that opioid use disorder can decrease the body’s ability to produce adequate testosterone and estrogen. Low testosterone levels can cause fatigue, weight gain, loss of bone density, and many more negative symptoms.

Hyperalgesia is a condition that changes the nerve pathways, causing the person to develop an increased sensitivity to pain. This condition is often caused by long-term opioid use. The main symptom of this condition is an extreme response to painful stimuli, which often feels like the worsening of a medical condition.

Patients that receive the Waismann Treatment ® often report a significant decrease in pain levels after detox. This phenomenon leads us to believe that the highest level of pain felt was a direct symptom of undiagnosed Hyperalgesia.

Waismann Treatment ® for Opioid Use Disorder

It is important to know that we do not use MAT drugs, such as Suboxone®/Subutex (Buprenorphine). We believe that people have the right to become opioid-free with minimum discomfort and plenty of compassion.

The use of MAT drugs for the treatment of opiate addiction is causing people to feel like they are switching from one opioid drug to another. This continuous opioid use often leads to depression, hopelessness, and even thoughts of suicide. As we see the use of medication-assisted treatment becoming more common in the addiction field, we also see a steady increase of inquiries for rapid detox from Suboxone®/Subutex (Buprenorphine). Although MAT drugs can help people maintain a better grip on what and how many drugs they take, they still suffer from all opioid side effects.

Nearly 100% of the Waismann Treatment patients successfully become opioid-free. This complete detoxification allows an accurate assessment and diagnosis of the patient’s real physiological and emotional condition without the interference of opioid drugs or their secondary effects. We believe in providing people a chance to achieve the best possible quality of life.

Effective opioid detoxification is an essential part of your recovery. A private drug treatment program has the means and ability to focus on your specific needs while tailoring the protocol for you. If you or someone you know has a Levorphanol addiction, contact us immediately to learn more about how the rapid detox for Levorphanol through the Waismann Treatment can help.
