questions about heroin withdrawal...please help.

I've been snorting about a gram of heroin a day for the past three and a half months. I plan on taking a week off from work in early february, when i will be quitting cold turkey.


How bad will this be for me? Will it be necessary to take a few days off? Since I sniffed it rather than IVed it, will the dopesickness be as bad?

 

you will wish you were dead

 

woohoo! can't wait!

 

Go to a doctor so they can detox you. This can be dangerous despite how you did it and how much you took...You can get meds that'll help with withdrawal symptoms and they can connect you to support groups. Good luck and peace be with you.

 

you say that now....lets see later

 

Seek professional help.
It will be very, very hard.
Very, very worth it in the end though.

 

yeah I would also take more than a week off from work. Go to a professional detox. even after a week you're not gonna be 100% maybe somewhere around 60-70%

 

good luck from here as well..you really dont have a choice...your life will turn to shit right quick if you keep doing a gram a day....i am curious as hell how you can afford it....peeler?....hooker?.....rich?

 

not as bad as everyone thinks.. the thing i hate the most is the pain in the legs and restless leg syndrome when trying to sleep... pretty strong dysphoria too... i was a heavy IV user for about a year an a half.. i'd use a bundle a day or so, raw when i could find it. I quit cold turkey last month and have been clean since, besides the occasional percocet.. good luck though, i know some peoople who don't have the nerve an end up using again. Its something that'll stay with you till the day u die, sall in your head though after the three-four day physical symptoms, GOOD LUCK

 

i sell some stuff on the side, along with having a regular job at a nursing home, savings, and doing favors for people. (not of the sexual nature... well, there was this one time, but i don't count that.)

 

my only experience with this is that once i fed a friend about 50 valium over a week to keep him sleeping through hid withdrawals...it worked although the guy later stabbed me in the back and went back on the hard shit.....good luck.....

 

You need to go the doc and get some suboxone.

Fucking miracle when you are kicking...
