I was recently speaking to someone, he stated he used meth to get off heroin a few times. He claimed he locked himself in a room with enough of it for 5 days and came out good as new. I personally have never liked speed, however if this claim is true it could be very helpful. Since I spoke to him I kind of pushed it off as nonsense. Until 4 days ago, a friend who hasn't done crack for about 15 yrs tried some. Since that day he has been buying a pack with his heroin daily because he said he's literally using about 1/3 of the amount of heroin he normally uses. So that would seem the first guy may be in to something. I know my friend very well and if he was just using 1/3 his normal he'd be puking. So the crack had to be doing something. I personally haven't used crack in over 20 yrs, and again only used speed a couple times. So both would be low tolerance. Has anyone else used a similar method? I just can't see how any of that can stop the withdrawal. For me it comes on very heavy at this point, don't want to say what my dailys are, but high is an understatement. 12 hrs I feel like crap, 18 hrs I have the double vision and heavy head really bad. 24 hrs I'm nauseous, limbs feel like they weight a ton, by 36 hrs I'm violently puking. Depending on how I was eating, I sometimes also have diarrhea. The vomit is the number 1 for me, plus the pain since I started using after leaving a pain clinic. I've had 13 back surgeries. Still I'll deal with the pain for a clean slate. I just really need to get through those 5 days of vomitting in a better state. The best I've made it in the last 9 years is to day 4. And could take it anymore. And FYI Suboxone for some reason doesn't work with me. I have tried many times with the doctors help at the clinic to do induction . We tried 2 hr intervals each time. So we took the first at 8 hrs, then next time 10 hrs, and so on up to 48 hrs and each time it makes me way sicker than I already was. It also adds an insane body anxiety that I don't get without it. He said we may have to try methadone, but the daily dose at the clinic really turns me off. Sorry for such a long post, but if this is truly a viable option is possibly a life saver, literally. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this, I hope to read you comments and experiences
