There's not a concise list of things that work and things that don't, everyone responds differently.

METHADONE has a long and proven track record. it's safe, but can lead to long term methadone addiction.

SUBOXONE can work, but it's also easy to abuse.

CLONAZAPAM might be used, it's an anti-convulsant that works like valium.
