This may seem a really weird and/or stupid question, but how do you know how long you need to wait before dosing again to avoid withdrawal?
I've been taking Morphine for around 2-3 months now.
I will take a "near enough high" sort of dose at say 10:30pm, and I'll wake up and feel fine (apart from being a little drowsy still/fuzzy headed - drug hangover?). Anyway I then go most of the day feeling fine. No withdrawal symptoms psychically and I don't have any mental symptoms either (like cravings), so then it'll be around 16 hours since my last dose.
Then out of the blue, with a switch of a light, I'm feeling anxious, shaking, extremely nauseated, have a throbbing headache, chills, dizziness every muscle in my body hurts, and I feel so faint I have to lie down.
So the withdrawal symptoms all come on all at once, very strongly and rapidly.
I dosed, and within 15 minutes it was like none of that happened.
I know people take doses of their drug to o avoid withdrawals throughout the day, but how am I suppose to know when to dose to avoid episodes like that when I'm not even having any cravings or withdrawal symptoms?
I mean is there a rule like even if you don't feel any withdrawal, when you're addicted, you have to take (drug) every six hours.
I feel like I'm just wasting drugs just using them to keep withdrawal away rather than abuse them for their pleasurable and sedative effects.
