TDS best way to kick H cold turkey

kickin H cold turkey

So I've taken up smoking heroin in the last couple months. I've been smoking pretty much on a daily basis and even tried slamming it a couple times. Now I'm at the point where I want to come off it completely but don't know how. I just got out of the psych hospital yesterday where they gave me detox meds. Problem is, they never prescribed me anything after I got out aside from my usual psych meds. I was doing fine while I was in the hospital and thought I had kicked completely. Apparently its not as easy as I thought it would be cuz last night I couldn't sleep cuz of muscle cramps and restless leg syndrome.
I've been trying to get into the methadone clinic but there is like a 2 week long waiting list before I can get in. Question is, are there any over-the-counter meds I can take to help ease the w/d symptoms, or can I possibly go to my primary care doc to see if he can prescribe me anything? I know nothing about meds like suboxone or methadone. I have a connect to score methadone on the streets but have no idea on how to start or taper down. Could I possibly continue to smoke H and just lower the amount on a daily basis?
I never thought I'd see myself has a heroin addict, and had no idea it was going to be this hard to kick. I was only smoking about a 20 sack a day for the last couple months.

please help!

How long has it been since youve last used ?

I've been clean for about 5 or 6 days now. I'm about to go score after I get off work because I just can't tolerate the w/d symptoms at night

Its not really the w/d symptoms anymore as such. Sure insomnia and such lingers for a time but not w/d symp. per se. For me, I find xanax useful for sleep (but very very small amounts) and Morph. sulphate ER (again rather small amounts). I guess youre at a point where you have to decide whether you want to stay clean. Tapering with H is extremely difficult. And youve gone through the tough physical stuff. Everyday will be a little better. Wait until tomorrow at least?

If what you speak of is the insomnia, thats what used to cause me to cave in. Its tough enough trying to get through the day - but when having done that, you're faced with a further 8-10 hours of staring at the ceiling and/or rolling/writhing about in bed...its a whole other world of difficulty.

Oh, I should add - the easiest way for me was to use codeine linctus gained via a cold-water-extraction upon some over-the-counter codeine painkillers. It may not be strictly cold turkey, but its keeping you away from the Heroin, dealers and the entire scene too.

ChristBait, How is your life @ the house? does your parents, and loved ones know your trying to cold turkey? Do you have any friends that support what your trying to do? What about yourself? Are you ready for this shit? This is not an easy process, It's possible tho,so don't get discouraged if you don't get it the first go around.
Cold Turkey can be dangerous, all sorts of shit can happen during the time your body and mind are detoxing. First thing I did when I quit H cold turkey was write on my fucking calender MY CLEAN DATE, and put a smileyface,because it was a happy day. Next I wrote down on paper 'what am I grateful for', filled the looseleaf paper front and back, AND stuck my 'gratitude list' on my bathroom mirror. so EVERY day i'd wake up/before bed and read atleast a few things on the list that catch's my eye. So I start/end my day thinking of what I'm grateful for.(Throw away ALL of ur drug paraphernalia!)EVERYTHING!even the foil in the house if its a trigger.
Next thing I made a list, I researched and looked for food,soups,drinks,SWEETS,and medicine that would help me during my detox.(stool softners and laxitives helped so fucking much).get the idea? want to flush some of the shit out, and replace it with some natural 'feel good' chemicals. I hear stories about Immodium helping,but tbh..fuck that, when I was on dope I hadn't taken a poo in..solong... so why hold that shit in? feel me?
I'm not saying hit up wallyworld and spend $200 on food and smellgood candles. Get the shit that you are going to need for week 1. don't worry about week 2,and so on. you will deal with that shit later. buy the food ur mom used to cook(if u live alone) or ask mom to buy the shit she normally buys (lmao). a fucking home cooked meal can make you feel so much better!
anyways after u got some meds(non-narcotics),food, and sweets)),it's time to focus on the other 23hrs of the day. What do you do during the days? Do you work?school?stay @ home dad? If you wern't doing anything productive when you were using, it's time to find something to do productive. Now I will admit, it's hard to detox cold turkey while @ work,class,or when your out and about. so what I did was take 3 days off, made fucking sure I was @ home and not out and about, that everything I needed was at the house.
Next,if bluelight is a trigger for you then we love you and all,take a break and find other shit to do with the time you spend on here, hit some golf balls . really, start telling yourself that your going to be a fucking hero,that once you get thru the first it's only time.
i'd write more,gotta head.PM me bro if you wanna know what i did with my spare time lol.
It's been 28 days since I last used Heroin. I'm no angle,or some guy with 20+years. I'm a fello heroin addict like urself, and kicked the fucking shit out of the turkey(stone cold). wish u the best man,seriously talk man if your going thru any rough moments of ur journey. its ur life bro MAKE IT HAPPEN!

most doctors will prescribe you a small quantity of opiates if you're honest and really trying to quit
