Opioids Detox...then resuming use...how long till withdraws will return?

[Downsey]

Alright so I'm on day 3 of cold turkey after a hard oxy habit (240mgs-320mgs daily) then about a week of daily iv heroin. My question here is after about 5-7 days of cold turkey then say on day 8 i use again. Will i start to experience withdraw on day 9? Or does it require daily usage to show up.

Side note, high doses of gabapentin work wonders for withdraw...and i mean wonders

Using after such sort time would re-trigger withdrawal and make the whole CT process worthless.

Gabapentin is awesome for WD, but can create its own problems. If you use now, WD will likely return, but maybe a little milder. Wait at least two weeks, but at that point if you go two days in a row, yer fucked again. I'd say hold out as long as possible. It was tough to get here, don't throw that away.

It depends on your body chemistry. But most likely you would have milder withdrawls on the 9th day.

Gabapentin works well for withdrawals and actually gives quite a nice buzz. The only problem with it is tolerance to it makes it ineffective after a whole dat of use.
