Thanks brutus, yeah I really hope this thread puts people off from trying it. If anyone wants to try heroin, be prepared for it to absolutely consume your life when you get addicted, get ready to lose your friends and have everyone (other than other users) lose respect for you, look at you in a different way, like you are scum. My doctor, who I have known for years now talks to me like dirt. He used to say to email him anytime, since I've started using he's told me to never email him again. On Christmas Eve I went to see him and he said "Ah, you look shaky. Gagging for your next fix then?", and said how all "us junkies" love pregabalin and asked if I sold it. He then said sarcastically to have a nice X-mas sitting round the tree doing heroin. (Actually I was going through benzo withdrawals as he messed up my script, cutting me a week short, and I don't love pregabalin, I take it for my anxiety and have done since my psychiatrist prescribed it to me long before I took heroin.) Oh, and enjoy having no money if you get addicted, ever, and every bit of it going on drugs as when you're hooked, like it or not you will HAVE to get some everyday if not you face the shittest of withdrawals. Cold turkey is hard, and I admire anyone who has managed to go through the whole of it.
I've changed as a person, into someone I really can't stand and I disgust myself. I thought it was bad being addicted to benzos and tapering off them. I thought I could handle the heroin withdrawals and cold turkey it as there's no actual physical harm like benzos. Fucking hell I was so wrong. There's honestly much better and less life destructing drugs out there.
CaptainKratom- Ah I have no sex drive at all which is frustrating. I'm on cymbalta (an anti-depressant) which pretty much shot it, now it's totally gone.
How I wish I could turn back time and actually deal with my problems (social anxiety and depression) instead of turning to benzos and heroin. Anyway sorry for the ramble everyone, I'd love to hear more about the effects heroins had on people. I've noticed my circulation has gotten really poor, I constantly have dead leg which gets extremely painful. Both me and my boyfriend have this. I also got what the doctors suspected as pneomonia, which started off as a really bad chest infection. I'm pretty certain it's from smoking the gear as I've never had a chest infection before. It got so bad, I couldn't walk up 10 stairs without getting extremely breathless and struggling to breathe. This was just after a month of smoking it in September to October.
I've also had my periods stop since using. Not sure if it's directly related or more to do with my lack of appetite/ lack of money to feed myself which made me underweight.
