So I started doing heroin. I smoke it. I do it 1-2 times a week. I started about a month and a half ago (maybe less). The first few times I felt fine the next day and then after a few more uses I slept a lot the next day. This past time like four days ago I smoked and felt horrible the next day. Slept all day and felt nauseous and had an even worse headache than usual. Now today I feel sick. Am I dope sick?
 
1 - 2x a week, I'd be surprised .. can you be more specific about what you're feeling?
 
That's what I was thinking. My head hurts and I have no energy. Kinda nauseous when I eat

if you smoke when you feel sick, does the sickness go away?
 
I try not to smoke days close together, probably smoking tomorrow. I can imagine it taking the shittiness away though. It does wonders for any pain I've had so far, except nausea obviously lol
 
hate to say it, but you should probably try skipping it this week. it doesn't sound too bad for you right now, as far as dope sickness goes .. if that's what it is. if after 3, 4 days you still feel shitty, then it's probably not the dope .. & obviously, if you smoke while you feel shitty & it all goes away, it could be the dope, or it might not be. i wish there was an easier way to find out, but no. i think you have to give it a break to know for sure.
 
Hi there Dr Katz just been reading your thread,,,i had a massive herion habit for many many years and now methadone and its a bitch let me tell ya,,,so please give the gear a brake for a bit before you do get your self a nasty little habit,,,and it's not fun trust me mate,,,,just give it a couple of weeks without it then just do it once a week but not more than that because it's takes two or three days to come completely out of your system so if your doing it twice or more a week your never letting your system or tolarence recover and that next smoke will never be as good as the last one,,,,as for definite symptoms of being dope sick the best I can tell you is a feeling of being very cold,,also running snotty nose and constant yawning with watering eyes and I get a intense heightened sence on smell for some reason,,? Also no energy and aching limbs more so in the legs,,,so yeah it's not fun,,,,hope this helps you bud,,? Peace C

yeah my boyfriends aunt is on methadone and it doesn't look good. it made her pretty shitty. thank you I really appreciate it
 
Not to change the subject but I had a similar view on methadone, until my relapse made it so Suboxone didnt work. Both my g/f and I shared our views on methadone but once we actually got on it things changed. I experienced no side effects, no tired lethargic or whatever. She did get the side effects and spent the majority of 2 weeks sleeping until she adjusted. But it was great because she has emotional and anxiety issues so being drowsy and sleeping through the majority of the adjustment allowed her to "get passed" the first few weeks with no issues and once she adjusted she no longer sleeps all day and is fine. I think if she was wired for the first few weeks she would have had a hard time being home with nothing to do, once i got some extra money i bought some video games to occupy her while she works on getting a job.

I "got lucky" maybe because i have a full time job and couldnt get the sleepiness as a side effect, and i did not. We both love methadone now as it saved her life. I was clean for 2 years and she never quit subs made her sick and gave her wicked head aches so we spent about 2 years trying to ween her off, we would get close and it would either be powerful dope that set her back or bad days. Since adjusting her mood has been so much better and she has days where she actually forgets to take her benzos, she use to run out early every month sometimes 2 weeks early.

Sorry for derailing the thread but I use to be exactly like one of those methadone is bad people, until it saved my girlfriend.
