As with many others, my pain meds were cut off recently. Here in Texas black tar us very cheap. About 2 weeks ago I decided to get a half gram. I split it with someone and smoked it. I don't do needles. I was actually not impressed. However a few days later I got another half gram. I enjoyed it more this time. Basically for the last 8 days I have been smoking heroin. I would say about .2-.3 a day. I know that these are bit considered to be large amounts. When I run out today I am taking a break because I realize I am playing with fire.
Will I have any physical withdrawals from this? I do have some shitty tylenol 3s that I could use. I just don't know what to expect and am a little worried.
 
Probably not after so few uses but since you were on pain meds it is definitely possible. Withdrawal feels like a bad flu. Just drink lots of water... Take baths, and search around. There are many w/d threads here.
 
I am just constantly thinking about the next time I will get some. Psychologically this shit is a bitch man.
 
Try to distract yourself... Accepting that you won't and moving on is the best thing you can do.
 
Did you have any w/drawals when your pain meds were cut off prior to initiating heroin use? I used tar for a couple years. Within 4,5 days I started having withdrawals from it but I had a tolerance from oxy before so could be why. I injected, but didn't like to wait so mostly just threw it down and smoked it about 20 x's a day.
 
I basically jumped from norcos to heroin. Today's was the first day with no heroin. I took a couple if Tylenol 3 which are shit. I was a daze at work. No energy what so ever. It was horrible.
 
Yeah, tylenol 3's are shit, but might help a little with withdrawals.. if you are having them.
The lethargy I had usually on first day of most withdrawals from opiates was debilitating.. in a daze like state. It was the 2nd 3rd day that was the worst.. when the anxiety and insomnia.. all the physical symptoms manifested.

Good for you for not taking the heroin today. Do you think you can sleep tonight? There are many otc available for withdrawal moving forward you could take.

Maybe get some loperamide for starters
 
Yeah I went through work in kind of a dream state. Just like I was there and that's all. I have a stash of alprozalam for sleep if I need them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will just experience some lethargy.
