so i've been wondering this for awhile because when i do dope i only get a bag and its good stuff so i withdraw for 2-3 days even after only using for a day and a half.

So the question is: Will I have more severe withdrawal if i use X amount of dope all at once or as soon as possible, or more severe withdrawals if i spread that same amount of dope over say 3 days.

So if im using the same amount, but one time all at once or close to it, or spread out, which will make me withdraw more severely?


also, will naltrexone speed up the withdrawal process, and bring me back to normal faster?
 
My guess is how long it stays in ur system like If u used a bag all at once it'd wear off sooner than spacing it out but if u space it out u need to take more and more to get higher and higher u get what I'm trying to say? Only a guess tho
 
no i dont care bout tolerance, im just trying to avoid severe withdrawals. i seem to get em bad for some reason
 
basically which will u withdraw worse from, one bag all at once, or one bag spread out over a few days. This is assuming they are equal amounts of dope
 
I would probably guess that the W/D would be worse when you spread it across a few days. Simply because your receptors will start to get used to being filled by the drug.

Be careful though man, because soon instead of spreading the one bag throughout a couple days your just gonna start doing a bag a day to get high, and W/D will just get worse...and worse...and worse....
 
Generally, spreading it will cause worse withdrawals because the longer your receptors are filled with opiates, the more they adapt to their presence. I can't say how noticeable a difference there will be though.
 
yea it sounds stupid, but the dope is too good, i do a bag a week, and im high for 2ish days and im withdrawing for 3-4 days, i gotta stop doin this shit
 
So how often do you use? Ive never heard of here and there users having withdrawal symptoms... IME it takes about a week or two of using everyday to experience even light withdrawal symptoms. I guess everyones different. How often do you use, and what are your symptoms when withdrawling?
 
i used to be a heavy user, i was clean for a year or two, now i buy one dime bag a week, and like i said it usually lasts me about 1.5-2 days. I experience all the classic symptoms, extreme anxiety, nausea, muslce pains, zero sleep, cold sweats. Granted they arent as bad as they would be if i was using for a while, but still i wouldnt expect these from just a couple days of using.
 
I had a friend who cleaned up years and years ago. A few weeks ago we used together.. she had hers on the foil in one night and said she felt rank for days after. Proper w/d symptoms (she obviously knew what they are like having used all that time ago).. strange huh?
 
I dont know if there's any medical reason behind this (I'm guessing there is), but after using heavily and getting clean withdrawals seem easier to get even with less frequent use. I was heavily into it and got clean for a few months, now if I use for 3 days in a row I'm full on withdrawing.. Shitting liquid, not sleeping, not eating, etc... Theyre over sooner than they were when I was using heavily, but they're every bit as intense.
 
...'for some reason', hahaha.

Either way, withdrawals will be bad... as to which is worse: 6 of one, a half dozen of the other. As far as mental symptoms goes, there's nothing other than time will make it better. As far as physical symptoms go, I would assume doing it all at once would be best, but I doubt there's a noticeable difference between the two. Taking medication for symptomatic relief will probably have a greater overall effect than which method you choose.
 
Using over time leaves you open to experiencing withdrawl. It's my understanding that if you use for one day only you will not experience withdrawl. If you use for 3 or more days consecutively you will experience withdrawl when you stop (this is a rule of thumb). I don't think the specific ammt used is the key factor, it's whether or not you use day after day you develop physical dependence to heroin. If you use 1 day a week you will not experience dependence.
