Was shooting heroin, and taking as many opiate pharms as possible for about 6 Months. My last shot was 8 days ago and I used suboxone for the first two days and then suffered no major w/d. The only problem is I haven't gotten more than an hour of sleep a night and its making me want to pick up the needle again. Just would like to sleep and not be an insomniac or a dopefiend just to sleep. I took alprazalom, trazodone, and otc sleep aids and still was wide awake, after doing this I got up and was out of breath and starting losing vision almost to the point of a blackout and breaking into an intense sweat.

Oh well maybe someone can tell me how long it takes when u kick dope till you are almost "normal" again, or are you just fucked and have to always have opiates from here on out to get any decent rest?
 
Man it will get SO much better. I promise. You haven't even been off of opiates for a week yet. It may take two weeks, it may take two months, but I promise that if you have a good attitude about everything, you will start realizing that you feel a little better and a little stronger everyday. Don't give up...

This is just from my personal experiences with clucking, and I have clucked and relapsed many times.
 
yeah dude rough it out, I've been there. I had to quit 50 mg methadone C/T, and i was given phenobarbital and trazedone for sleep but it did nothing. I would say it took a good two months to get even a few nights sleep, but it shouldn't take nearly that long when coming off heroin.

how much xanax are you taking? as long as your not taking other CNS depressents, its safe to take pretty high dosages of xanax, as long as you dont do so for a continued period of time. I imagine 4 mg would help.
 
Well I take 2mg of xanax and get about 3 hours of sleep and maybe 5 if I drink on top of it. Not sure if that is a great idea, but I never dose more than 4mg in a day. And I only take it every other day as to try to prevent a new dependency and whatnot.

Really depressing knowing a little capsule of white powder would solve all of my problems for the time being...
 
there are caps in chicago to. for the first 2 years of doin h only seen a few bags as in our circle of friends all the dealers used capsulses. great shit to. however now that a few of those guys got poped and or found other dealers or cop at the tip, i aint got a cap since summer. but the top 5 best bags of dope, 2 or 3 have been in caps.
 
exercise and a proper diet.....you will turn around faster than you think......

Ugh I went to the gym today and thought my heart was going to explode. Very basic 30 min slow paced workout and I was exhausted. My diet is consistent of fast foods as I work 12 hour shifts and dont get much time.
