Ok, I am looking for some direct answers here, been in withdrawal for so long I just want some estimates on how long I got to go. I used 1-2 packs of H for about 2 months, then used one single 8mg sub film to kick the habit like this day1:2mg, day2:2mg, day3:2mg, day4:1mg, day5:1mg, it has been 146 approx hours since the 1mg of bupe. My withdrawal kicked in about 24 Hours after the last 1mg, I have been getting the symptoms in waves that come and go. 3 of the nights I used alcohol and xanax to fall asleep, but last night I slept for 8 hours with no help from anything. Today I felt fine in the morning, just a slight headache, but now I have slight chills and weird muscle spasms on and off in my top right shoulder. Based on the information stated how much longer approx do I have to go? Or am I in the clear and just convincing myself I am still in withdrawal, I have been known to be a hypochondriac and quite compulsive at times, any opinions would be highly appreciated..
 
Man I can't take this anymore, I am seriously super close to relapse, I been off H for about 2 weeks now, and off one single 8mg sub for 150 hours now.. I am so sick of feeling like shit, I never imagined it would take this long, can someone please tell me how much longer I have to deal with this? Because I am super close to going to grab a couple kenofolds.
 
I never taken Heroin but I have withdrawn from AH-7921 and have been seriously sick, much more than physical and psychological symptom for 3 weeks. I dont know about withdrawal from other opioids but I know its real pain.

Do you have problem eating and drinking ?

Stay strong, relapse will only make you sick the next time you try to withdraw. At least now you have done a part of it and you are closer to feeling good again, trust me, my story was horrible and now I feel great.
 
uve gone thru the worst of it... you may still experience PAWS. do you know much about PAWS? i quit cold tukey for a month once from IV morphine. even at a month clean i was still getting waves of cold chills, sweats, random spasms and pains. it always got worse if there was a trigger.

so yeah some of that ure going thru is mental. some is physical too, but minor.

good luck! and great job so far!
 
It sounds to me like the acute phase is (almost) over. That being said the depression and anxiety that follows the withdrawals is probaby the hardest thing to deal with.
Look up paws. Perhaps smoke cannabis , work out, hot showers/baths? Or talk to a doctor? I think it's pretty encouraging that you slept for 8 hours. Remember If you relapse you will have to go through it again!


p.s whats a kenofold?

this wrapped around some heroin?

If you can sleep 8 hours without any chemical assistance then you are in pretty good shape and will feel better each day until it evens out, probably 2-3 more days of feeling a bit crappy. A lot of how long it last depends on how you used the H, it seems people like me who use more frequently (I dose every 2-4 hours) will withdraw harder but for shorter time. I know people who use only like once a day, but get blasted with one large dose. They won't withdraw for a few days because that what the bodies gotten use to, but then it hits them hard. It tends to be worse at the times you did it if you only dosed like once a day.
 
Yeah in Detroit here $10 bags are wrapped up in keno slips. And I'm happy to hear everyone stating I'm almost out the woods, I was just at the nursing home visiting my grandpa and my aunt asked me what was wrong, I didn't want to tell her I was in withdrawal so I said I had a headache and she offered me a vicodin and I turned it down. And for some reason I saw the light after that and felt a little better, I'm not religious but it kind of seems like a reward from god for me turning the vic down. I was wondering do the withdrawals get worse toward the end? because it literally feels like my body is trying to exit a demon and it's fighting to stay but losing.
 
Some people find PAWS worst than acute withdrawal, personally I cant deal with the horrible physical symptom of acute withdrawal but I can deal with depression cause by PAWS. Each individual is different, though if you feel like a demon is trying to exist your body you might still be in acute withdrawal but near the end I dont know but it sound to me like a physical symptom.

Im glad you turn down the Vicodin, it takes a lot of discipline to do that, cheers. Its almost over, stay strong.
 
Thanks, I literally feel a lot better from all the support on here, thus this being my first time going through this, I didn't know what to expect and having an idea and especially knowing I'm almost out the woods is highly enlightening and comforting. I'm having some hot miso soup and chinese detox tea right now to calm my nerves and my girlfriend is coming over to watch breaking bad with me so for now I'm in a much better place even though the symptoms are quite noticeable. I'll keep everyone updated with my progress...
 
Since subs have a super long half life, you're probably still having physical withdrawals. Compared to earlier today how are you feeling? Good for you not taking that vicodin! You are so close, just hang in there! <3

It's been 176 Hours since my last 1mg of sub, and remember I only used one single 8mg sub split up for 5 days. I am definitely feeling better than I was earlier today, thanks for asking! I'm going to hang in there!

I was just discussing this last night in the heroin megathread. 6/7 says those lotto folds are called packs in detroit. well up here in Flint we call a "pack" the same as a "bag"
the keno and lotto folds are called just that i believe. i know ive heard a nickname for them before tho... wanna say lotto stamps. but i know what a stamp is and we dont get those here. just mostly tiny ziploks and knots

i came in here to see how ure doin tho aesthetics13... hope its good.

you honestly sound like you are going to make it from what ive read man. keep us updated fellow ghetto stat-er, uhm, i mean michigan-der. :)

EDIT: btw do you disc golf?? i know its popular around here. i was gonna suggest it, if its warm enough outside or u dress properly. ive gotten a lot of frustration out on the ol disc golf course when trying to get clean. it helps alot. fresh air and all. idk if id goto a long one like holly state park tho... just try and stay active if u can! im really routing for u!
