I've always heard that ROA affects the intensity of ones withdrawals with IV use bringing out the worst symptoms. I wanted to hear some experiences/opinions on weather or not you feel this is true.
 
When IV users stop CT the blood concentration drops quicker vs. other ROAs resulting in more severe withdrawals. Usually the tolerance of IV users is higher too, but really the body has no way knowing which route the drugs come, so basically the answer is no.
 
Yeah, the ROA has no direct impact on the severity of withdrawals. It seems that way at times because I'V use allows for ones habit to get very large with its high bioavailability thus allowing for tolerance to grow faster. How bad ones kick has to do mainly with the quantity they are using and how long they've been using for.
