heroin withdrawal question

[bigpea1990]

Ive been using everyday IV for 3 or 4 months. At first i was doing only a dime a day and then slowly went up to about a .2 maybe a .3 a day of good tar. Now for the past few weeks ive been down to a .1 everyday again. I dont get sick for about 24 hours and even at 24 hours it isnt that bad at all. My question is this: how bad do you think the withdrawals will be from a habit like this? And how long do you think they will last? I have about 10 mg of suboxone, should i even take it or should i just kick cold turkey? Any help is appreciated

This is just my take on your situation. I know that I've been in that particular one a few times. Especially since you tapered down from the .2/.3 back to .1ish, the physical side of it won't be difficult to endure. As far as the subs, I wouldn't go straight to them, because on the physical level, you don't NEED them. You just might want them. I'd save them for a couple of those rough days when it's a struggle MENTALLY, as opposed to physically.
On the other hand, if you are trying to QUIT, that's another matter. Some would say trash everything, kick, and stay done.
You also asked how long it would last. If it were me, there wouldn't be any withdrawal symptoms after day 4. It's more mental.
Also, keep in mind, it can get a shitload worse.

Best thing you can is get some tramadol or something weak for your couple of days of mental struggle, other than that, you're withdrawals should not surpass a sick'ish feeling and slight depression. Goodluck man!

Just stop. The worst part will last 3-5,6 days tops. Take lopermide for the shits... Grab some benadryl or dxm for anxiety , some benzos if thats a viale option for you. Weed if you smoke. Obviously dont pick up new habits trying to quit one. Sub is ultra strong opiate'wise, you could easily get stuck on that train unnecessarily. If needed take like .5mg on what feels like the worst day. Maybe even .25. (IV... Since thats your thing).

Just my 2cents
