when in the jail i used to take herin maybe oncce a week and only half a bag as it ws hard to come by and realy expensive tho sub was easily availiable and sold in mg's i quite often used to take 3-4mg after taking heroin the day before and it alwasy made me feel great and helped with the coldness. Loads of people took it for this reason in there, I HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF PW
a few weeks ago after taking heroin regularly and scoring an oz of heroin which i ended up not having to pay for due to someone getting jailed for a long time, living miles from each other and only knowing each others name and phone number. i didnt even know this guys right name. he was a contact from jail so i only knew his nickname. so having ll this "free" stuff i had gotten myself quite a heavy habit which was unusual for me!! cut a long story short i always have money to buy heroin but my wages never cleared this week and i felt like i was starting to withdraw with no money i managed to take some valium and crash out. i knew little about withdrawals having been able to afford what i needed and never having took all that much before these few months. Anything when i was WD with no meney etc i remembered i had 12 mg of sub...so in my naievity i remebered jail and though oh yes! im a lucky boy this will keep me going to my money goes in. fuck i had cupcakes in the oven i was making, couldnt have been happier as i chopped up my 1.5mg line...proceeded to snort it and within 1 minute i felt the worst feeling i have ever flt in my life my stomach starting bubbling, i was sooo cold it felt like i was incased in ice it felt like as i moved my bones were crumbling with pain i ran to the toilet and started violently retching and being violently sick then i was sweatin so much lying on the floor going cold then more ickness and cold then intense heat and stomach crmps then i had to sit on the toileyt had the runs and had to be sick in the sink. I really considerd phoning the hospital/ambulance and the only thing that stopped me was the fact my mums best friend works there as a bed manager and i was terrified she would see me even if she never theres a good chnce she would have seen my name and chacked what i was in for and my mum etc could find out about all the smack so i lay on my bed and started searching! found ll this info about PW's and receptors etc that made me feel slightly better cause i knew i wasnt dying but the more i read the more terrified i got posts saying it can last 24 hours to days i started crying! i read posts saying more opiods would help (i had 30 orphine sulphate 100mg slow release) and i read posts saying more sub would help and i read posts saying noting would help! Then after about 25 mins i rapidly started to feel better slowly but surely. i was talking to someone on here and he suggested another .5 sub every 20 mins which i did and ended up fine within the hour. But i can honestly say its EASILY the most horifing and worst most painful experience i have ever had. And this is coming from a guy who has had kidney stones 6 times in including blockages which got me IV morphine in the hospital and oxycontin for the pain at home (not at all common to get that prescribed in uk) and still this was much worse!!
i know i should have checkd things out but to be honest i never checked fucka ll out then, its only since i started reading this forum and read about interactions,potentiating and dangers etc i now check everything..maybe too much actually lol
Funny thing is aswell i had considered taking sub a couple of weeks before when i couldnt get ahold of my dealer as i was feling "a tiny bit cold" defo not actually in withdrawal tho and i had been taking alot of heroin! im so fucking glad i never.... im really not sure i could have coped! i would have defo had to go to the hospital i think i may even hav been happy to admit everything to my mum if it "fixed" me.
I hope by reading mines and everyone elses posts you will wait until your DEFINATELY withdrawing enough to take your sub, its simply just not worth taking before that i would never to be wrything around in bed tears streaming out my eyes full diahorea, the shakes nd loads of pain before i would ever risk sub "to help" with opiate withdrawals again. Infact im kinda terridied of sub now
hope this helps a bit
and good luck wouldnt wish PW on a single person
