How does it affect your body?
Xylazine will decrease breathing and lower your heart rate as well as your blood pressure.
You will also experience a significant lowering of body temperature.
When you take Xylazine you will experience a lowering of your blood pressure.
These combined effects can lead to a coma and, in some cases: fatality.

Why is it addictive?
When you take Xylazine continuously your brain will become accustomed to it.
In time, it will change the way it works due to it's presence.
You will develop a phenomenon known as tolerance.
This means that you will need to take ever increasing amounts in order to have the same effect as the amount you took when you first started.

How long before I start withdrawing?
Xylazine is not a human medication so there are no human trials to refer to.
Anecdotal evidence suggests it takes around five hours, after your last use, before you start to feel unwell.
These will get significantly worse after 12 hours.

Cravings
As with other drugs similar to Xylazine, when you experience withdrawals you will want to use.
You crave the one thing you know will stop them: Xylazine.
It takes your brain a good few months to recover from addiction.
While you can complete rehab in a month, sometimes less, your brain takes longer to adjust. Sometimes up to a year.
This is why the skills you learn in rehab are so vital.
The longer you manage to abstain, the more dangerous it becomes if you succumb to cravings as you will have no tolerance: At all.

Accidental overdose with Xylazine
When you stop and go into withdrawal you loose your tolerance to Xylazine.
If you start taking it again you will take an amount you think will settle you.
It very likely you will overdose: accidentally.
This is highly likely to be fatal.
There is no known reversal agent.

Risks associated with Xylazine
When you mix Xylazine with other drugs, the risk goes up: Significantly.
You are more likely to experience an overdose this way.
Usually, people take it without knowing because it is mixed into heroin and other drugs.
When you use Xylazine you can experience severe skin damage and open wounds: It doesn't matter how you take it.
These wounds will spread: Fast.
They will not heal easily and you will need specialist medical care.
No one should ever try and detox themselves from any drug, especially an animal tranquilliser such as Xylazine.
The symptoms can be extremely distressing and left untreated could be very dangerous.
If you try and treat yourself you are very likely to succumb to cravings.
Your tolerance will have dropped meaning you are at extreme risk of an accidental overdose

overdosing on Xylazine
here is no reversal agent to treat a Xylazine overdose.
You can take Naloxone but it won't work on Xylazine unless it is cut with heroin or other opioids.
It will only affect the opioids, not the Xylazine.
This is why the drug is so dangerous.

What about home treatment for Xylazine addiction?
No.
This would simply not be clinically viable, safe or even something anyone should consider.
The only safe way to recover from Xylazine addiction is with a medically supervised detox using a substitute medication under close medical supervision.
While this could be done in the home environment it would be very cost prohibitive and would always cost far in excess of even the most high end rehab centre.
Therapy
All centers who provide treatment for Xylazine addiction provide a fully immersive therapy programme, either along a 12 step approach or a SMART based recovery model. These run seven days a week and , those in treatment, are obliged to attend all sessions if physically well enough to do so. For new admissions, it can be 24-48 hours , on occasion, before someone is able to take part.
Sitting alongside this programme, many centers also offer adjunctive treatments and therapies such as:
Yoga
Mindfulness
Art therapy
Gentle exercise and group walks
Music therapy
Individual sessions (for those staying more than a week)
Clients, before leaving, are linked in with support groups in their local community, be they voluntary or statutory. A psychological tool kit is built up so that clients have a selection of techniques to employ.
