Instant withdrawal from single opioid use?

[Psychonauticunt]

I never used to feel bad the day after taking heroin, unless I'd taken it for two days, and maybe felt a bit nauseated, had the shits. However, inevitably chipping soon turned into a binge. It was short, but enough to send me into what was very clearly withdrawal.

I hadn't used opioids for a long time, but recently I got some oxycodone. I took it once, 60mg spread out over about an hour, an hour and a half. Felt great. Next morning, my muscles were sore all over and I had trouble getting up and down stairs (no other withdrawal symptoms though, except diarrhea again).

I've heard before that people who have been dependent on opioids will go into withdrawal immediately after a single relapse, when normally dependence and thus withdrawal takes longer to develop. Is it really a thing that if ex-junkies shoot up even once, it's right back to Introduction Day in Hell again?

IME. Yes.

it only takes about 2 to 3 days of STRONG opiate use (ex. Oxy, Heroin) to make any human being feel at least some kind of withdrawals after stopping use.. Even if you have never even tasted an opiate before... they are very addictive.

IMHO nope. After a long break from H, a single 60mg of oxy would not preticipate (sp) wds.

Feel better,

For me, I took 9 months off Heroin once, and used one day and the next day I felt a little squirrelly, couldn't sleep, hardcore cravings, yawning + watery eyes... I believe if you have been addicted to opiates before and you get considerably high off of an opiate.. your body kind of remembers what it was and you get residual withdrawal symptoms... they aren't bad from say a 1 year, gram a day heroin habit but they are still uncomfortable enough to keep you going on your binge...even tho you don't want to
