Has anyone ever experienced that before ? Getting the shakes / jitters after snorting Heroin ?

I'll explain what happened.

0:00 - Snorted 10-15mg of Heroin #4 on an empty stomach (had a granola bar an hour or so before).

0:05 - Started thinking to myself, "hmmm... maybe I should've done some more" , didn't feel much of a rush.

0:10 - Here we go. The "feeling" started coming fast, like a wave of electric warmth. I started to feel good. It felt like Oxycodone on Crack.

0:15 - "Thank god, I didn't decide to do more when I thought I should've". I had a class to get too and at this point I felt a little "light on my feet" , unstable. I looked back into the mirror and saw that my eyes were 1/3 opened, it looked like I was sleeping and had a grin on my face.

0:20 - As soon as I started walking out of the washroom I started to feel a mixture between comfortable and uncomfortable. Like I was enjoying myself but it felt like I was on the edge of beginning to feel like this was going to be a bad high, but it never got to that point, I was just always on that "edge" . This is when I started to feel all jittery and shaky . I felt good, but just the fact that I was shaking threw me off.

0:30 - Sitting in class, its always cold in that building so maybe that contributed to the jitters ? I was freezing, but at the same time I was feeling good. I really wanted to lay down and just fall asleep. At this point, talking felt weird, almost forced and my voice disconnected. I spent the next 45 minutes trying to keep the jitters under control and hopefully no one noticed.

1:15 - By now the jittering had stopped and I had "woken up" a bit, felt like the "nod effect" was just beginning to wrap itself up .

1:45 -> 3:00 was spent with a headache, Motrin helped at that point.

3:00 + all effects have ended.



So , anyone know why I was "shaking" ? Usually opiates like oxycodone and codeine don't make me shake. Maybe it was cut with something like caffeine, which I have a sensitivity to.
Anyone else experience shaking while on Heroin ?
 
I have a hand tremor normally. When i would do opiates it would make it 100000000x worse; it was like I morphed into Michael J Fox.

So yes, opiates/heroin make my hands shake worse. But they shake normally anyway. IN fact the 1 drug that rids me of my benign tremor (what the docs call it) is adderall.

Just me personally, everyones different. I'm sure benzos and opiates cure some peoples tremors, but not for me.
 
It could have been cut with all sorts of things: caffeine, speed, cocaine. I know these are all popular cuts where I come from. If you have never had this shaking from other opioids it seems odd that you would get it from heroin, unless you were feeling really anxious and that caused the symptoms. For me heroin has the least amount of side effects out of the opioids I have tried.
