Apomorphine- does it really work?

[englishkid]

A few people swim has come across swear by it as does William Burroughs the author of junkie etc. SWIM believes that in the book junkie, Burroughs states that it is the closest thing to a cure.

Does any one know of this.

The closest thing to a cure is a cure. Most people don't know there is a cure for opiate addiction, it's called Tabernanthe Iboga(Ibogaine).

It is apparently a dopaminergic agonist and is derived from morphine but does not bind to opiate receptors. This is according to wikipedia anyway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apomorphine.

apomorphine is used in the uk at least for parkinsons disease,and as an injection into the dick to get a hard on for those who cant,i dont think its ever been officially used to treat addiction,or if it has the trials cant have been very successful,as its not been used for that purpose.Although its made from morphine,it isnt psychoactive,and wether it was successfull for burroughs,or he'd have got off heroin whatever he'd used is debatable,as the fact is,if your motivated enough and really do want to quit,you will wether you use methadone,subutex,or do it cold turkey,
