In this video, I’m going to teach you how to use the Top Supplements for Anxiety during Opiate Addiction Recovery. Many individuals (myself included) are prone to opiate addiction and other substance addictions because of underlying anxiety disorders.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had Generalized Anxiety and Social Anxiety, and thus when I first used an opiate, my anxiety was COMPLETELY ERASED.
And not only was my anxiety gone, but I had a new level of confidence and self-assurance that I had never experienced.
For many years, I was able to use opiates recreationally without getting addicted to them. I also quickly realized that using opiates gave me amazing success with women when I was normally very shy, and it was easier for me to talk to women, bond with them, and sometimes even sleep with them (I was in my 20’s!).
I eventually got severely addicted though, but that’s another story. Let’s focus on showing you what supplements you can take to eliminate anxiety.
In the video below I’ll be teaching you the following:
- How opioids and other CNS depressants (eg alcohol and benzos) can eliminate anxiety.
- How people with anxiety are more prone to addiction to opioids and other CNS depressants.
- How coming off opioids can lead to EXTREME ANXIETY during the acute withdrawal, then mild, moderate, or even severe anxiety during the next few weeks or months during the Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome phase.
- Which Supplements for Anxiety work the best.
And below this video, I’ll provide links to my favorite brands of anti-anxiety supplements that I’ve used myself and absolutely LOVE.

Top Supplements For Anxiety During Opiate Addiction Recovery
As I promised, now that you’ve watched the video and have an understanding of which supplements work best for anxiety and opiate recovery, here are my favorite brands that I have taken myself that work very well for me and many others.
If you don’t feel like buying all of these and swallowing so many pills, I totally understand. Luckily, you can just take this Stress Relief & Relaxation Support Supplement which contains many of the top nutrients for anxiety that I discussed.
Then you only have to buy and take ONE THING, which is still just as effective and much less expensive and much more convenient.
Supplements for anxiety and opiate addiction recovery I reviewed in the video are:
Note: It’s a pain in the butt to take so many different pills, and you can get great benefits by using this awesome anti-anxiety combo supplement. It contains L-Theanine, Passion Flower, and many other anxiety-reducing and mood-boosting nutrients I totally love.
The Anxiety Epidemic
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), “anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population every year.”
Anxiety is an epidemic in America, and I know for a fact that millions of Americans are self-medicating their anxiety disorders with opioids, benzos, alcohol, or a combination of these and other CNS depressants.
I always recommend trying out supplements, nutrition, exercise, qigong, meditation, and other natural methods of anxiety relief first, and if none of these work, there is absolutely no shame in going to a doctor or even better a psychiatrist to try out medicine.
No one should have to live with a debilitating anxiety disorder, and honestly, some people do better on prescription meds than natural remedies. And there ain’t nothing wrong with trying out medicine, as long as it’s not the very first option – as often times a person can have extraordinary results with a combination of the supplements I talked about in the video.
If you have any comments or questions on anti-anxiety supplements for opiate recovery, please post them in the comment box below.
Watch out for Phenebut, it is insanely addictive and the withdrawal symptoms are horrible rivaling that of benzos.
If you use it like it says in the video not more than 1 to 2 days a week and certainly not 2 days in a row. Even one day can give you withdrawal symptoms, I’ve experienced it my self.
Not even benzos addict that fast.
Dear Matt,
do you know of anyone who took microdoses of psychedelics during PAWS? I have read about doing ‘tia’ twice a week; as a mood lift. But how about micro-dosing? I’m sure it’s not for everybody but it kinda makes sense because unlike ‘tia’ it’s not addicting. It simply stops working if you take it too often. Of course, you’d need a reputable source; AND – better keep it micro. But it most certainly provides a mood lift, your senses get more intense; life just seems a little bit better. But not in an artificial ‘druggy’ way. Maybe for some; not for others …
I was just wondering.
Keep spreading the word! Your work has been an invaluable source of wisdom and inspiration.
Bobby cm.
Yes I’ve seen this work well for people when done correctly. And thanks for the feedback Bobby.

Hello,
I’ve been spending much time on this website and has helped me tremendously over the course of the last two years. For some kind of reason I’ve never came across the ‘End your addiction now’ book by Charles Gant. I’ve started reading it and I’m trying to compile a set of supplements to get started myself. It’s really hard to find the right kinds of minerals though. The amino’s are easy, the vitamins take som lookin’ around but I can figure that one out too. But the minerals are hard. Especially if you consider I’m already taking a high end vitamin/minerall pack that doesn’t really adres those specific need. I know he say, don’t worry about taking to much, you’re body is perfectly capable of dumping extra nutrients that it doesn’t need. but still. Here and there i’m a little worried.
And also, folic acid – now a days we should be looking for labels that say folate, right?
He mentions thorne with is a really good brand but expensive. Things are tight at the moment. I’ve found brands like life extension an Nowfood to be affordable. And I mostly read good things about them.
Everybody raves about this book but I haven’t found a single site that tackles the issue of finding the right kind of supplements for let’s say gabba – or any other deficiency.
I’v noticed tha gaba and catachlomine overlapp big time. Should I take double or just the maximums outlined in one or the other erna. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
richard

O am being taken off klonopin 3 mgs a day and side affect no warning just taken off. Plz what can I take to come off this drug that will help
Read the book ‘brain in balance’ …
The author has done over 20.000 detoxifications. He has come up with a way to detox ppl. from benzo’s in one week. Invaluable read!!
I never though I would discover a site so knowledgeable and dedicated to the biochemistry and healing associated with opiate addition and withdrawal. Other sites I visited previously treated this issue so academically without going deep into what makes withdrawal such an dreadful experience. Thanks to Matt Finch and his opiateaddictionsupport.com, now I know why I have been so helpless as my struggles continued endlessly. You are a blessing to many trapped in this unforgiving addiction.
However, opiate addiction crises in African centers mainly on tramadol abuse unlike in US where the substance abused are such as horein, methadone, oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl, morphine etc. Most of your videos and lectures did not discuss tramadol addiction and withdrawal strategies. Will your strategies work with all opiates including tramadol?
Regards.
I’m so glad you are addressing anxiety. I’m sure you remember what a struggle I had getting off opioids-the perpetual day one. Well I’ve been off them now for a month. And replaced it with a xanax problem. Luckily it was short lived but I started using it before i got off opioids and had a six week run on them so i did need to taper off them and went to my doctor for that. Finished that a week ago but still had a rough time. I’m finally starting to feel better. Your site helped me so much and is still helping me. You’ve really done a great job and I so appreciate you. Because of you and your site, as well as my determination, I’m getting my life back. I’m also signed up for Qigong classes through the VA and looking forward to it. You know what? Withdrawals suck and I never want to have to go through it again. Ever!
I knew anxiety was common but before researching the statistics I didn’t know it was so high. Almost 1 in 5 Americans 18 and older? That’s even more common than I thought. Really glad you were also able to get off benzos after the opioids. You’ve done it now! And you’re right…withdrawal sucks so bad. And you luckily will never have to go through that again. Oh and I’m looking forward to hearing how you like the qigong classes! I love qigong so much. That should be fun and it will also give you so many physical and psychological health benefits.
Matt, for 100 mg Methadone withdrawal and 17 years on it. What do you think of Gabapentin and Clonopin together?
I have a plan and Id like your thoughts in this.
Hi Irv,
I recently had a coaching client that was on a bit more methadone than that and used gabapentin, clonidine, and Klonopin all together along with supplements and protein shakes etc. He said his withdrawal was really easy. 🙂
