thanks. there is still experimentation going on it looks like. is there any outcome on what protocol would be a good starting point? any recommendations? my brain is mush right now to try to dig through all the scientific literature that is in that long thread.
here is a link to my experience during a taper, it seemed that C60 may act as an adaptogen

It is a known phenomenon that massive doses (multiple grams per day) of ascorbate (salt form of Vitamin C) reduces or prevents withdrawal in many opiate addicts.
I currently use a low maintenance dose of diazepam (10 mg) daily or as needed -- for the management of Asperger's; I have recently (within the last month) started taking 8-12 grams of liposomal vitamin C daily. Some literature suggests that liposomal vitamin C dosage corresponds to FIVE or TEN times the oral dose -- because the liposome passes through the intestine/stomach into the bloods and then carries the ascorbate/AA into the cell.
Liposomal C causes no diarrhea even when I dose 8 grams at once (try that with powdered C - ha)
Sometimes I have gone 2 or 3 days without any diazepam with no sign of benzo withdrawal -- I attribute this to the Ascorbate, as I just re-started my C60 consumption a few days ago
Based on some recent papers regarding ascorbate and it's role in epigenetic demethylation -- I propose that ultra-high dose (especially liposomal) ascorbate is causing morphological and epigenetic changes in the neurotransmitters associated with ethanol, benzodiazepine, and opiate addicitrion and tolerance that reverse the changes and reduce/remove withdrawal.
Of note -- many opiate addicts that used mega dose C to withdraw -- report a loss of tolerance as well -- this supports my proposal that massive doses of C 'reset' the neurotransmitters in the brain.
Lastly, pre-dosing megadoses of C in mice before MDMA (ecstasy) administration completely ameliorated any neuro-toxic effects; human users have reproted much the same protective and tolerance reducing effects of Mega dosing C with respect to MDMA -- which is a strong Serotonin and Dopamine releaser/re-uptake inhibitor that causes significant morphological changes to serotonin and dopamine receptors
