So once every few months i get 1gram or a bit more of H and do it over 10-15 days (w0w how do u do this noone can control heroin omg), hence i never get the habit and always have to deal with hard effects at their peak of strengh. Also curious in your dealing with the final side effect, the stopping. Here are my methods (they're noobish):

Constipation: Nothing, maybe i could take some pill or food. I lack appetite tho
Can't piss: Justs little tricks like open hot water and put hands there, try to relax body while in toilet. Or piss while showering.
Itching: Benadryl (diphenydramine) or any antihistamine.
Hard to swallow solids sometimes: Nothing i know of.
Lower blood pressure and breathing: I get this a lot sadly. Sugar under tongue, drink caffeine, or both in energy drinks.
Hard to sleep because of above problem: This one is the worst. I have to stop taking H hours before sleep or when i go to bed, even if i fall in light sleep my body wakes itself up because i was breathing hard and i feel like shit. Suddenly i feel the H is out because i feel like i breathe better. Maybe i get this because i take 10mg 2x a day for years now (prescribed), even if i stop they are a part of me for days i guess. While on H i only do 10mg in the morning.
When i run out of stock: Usually the most i get is a few body aches, i take aspirin. I do miss it but on the other hand i'm free of these charming effects.

Do share!

EDIT: forgot
Dry outh & body (feels like skin is dry to me): i drink like 3 Liters of water a day :S

I just can't piss and have very light itching lol I can't eat or do anything for that matter when I'm in withdrawl but as soon as I get my fix I eat like a mad man
 
Natural method of fighting H is Tabacum. It is basically a diluted replacement that will work in place of heroin. This is the best way of gradually leaving heroin addiction and taking a step down. If you cannot just leave heroin right away; this treatment will make you gradually leave it.

Tobacco doesn't substitute for opioids though.
 
If you're going to use heroin like that, then you're just going to have to deal with these side effects. Obviously they get worse the higher dose you do.. so cutting back a little bit on how much you use when you do it, will help a lot.

Wait wasn't Factin trollling? I assumed he was lol. Well i do smoke regularly, not much tho. The thing i noticed is while on alcohol/opiates/opioids and i guess other drugs tobacco feels 10x as good. Every cig tastes like the 1st one of the day. So i smoke a lot while high, feels great man.

Yeah i do that since little doses get me rly high. Except when i'm stupid like yesterday and decide not only to IV, but to dose too much and became like i was completely drunk, seeing double, fell asleep for 3hours. Stupid idd, horrible experience i'm not even IV'ing again.

10mg of what? You don't say what it is you take twice a day, only that it's 10mg.
 
^That is a good point. My guess is diazepam, just judging by what he's taking it for and the dose.


Anyway, I'll try to answer some of these, because I have pretty much dealt with them all...

Constipation: This is a tough one, because it seems once it gets to a certain point there is practically nothing you can do except go on a short kick to loosen things up. That is really the best option, if you backed up for 3+ days then try to not use until you get a good BM. Otherwise, use a laxative (milk of magnesia, senna) and a stool softener (colace, also known as docusate Na), I've found the laxatives will work, but it seems the more I used them the less they helped. Also, one time I took a heaping dose of MoM and I felt real sick the next day, so don't take more than recommended. I've have also performed some crude forms of an enema using a 5 cc needle-less syringe. That always seems to produce some release of bowels. An real enema would probably do wonders.
Can't piss: Sit down, as pussy as that sounds. Either that or I need complete peace and just to have patience to get started.
Itching: This seems to go away after a few days of consecutive use. An antihystamine, maybe a topical cream like calimine lotion would help if you have a particular area that itches real bad(I've never tried that, though). Last time I started using after taking some time off, the first day using the top of my feet itched so bad I scratched them to the point of bleeding and left painful wounds on the top of my feet that took over a week to heal. I love tolerance drops but the itching seems to be the one thing that comes back most noticeably.
Hard to swallow solids sometimes: This is a weird one that I get really bad, too. Everything else here is pretty common to hear people complain about, but this one is hard to find much info on. I literally have almost choked on food when high because of thios. The only thing I can suggest is eating every meal with a drink, that is what I must do when high. Also take smaller bites. Legit every mouthful needs to be washed down with a gulp of beverage, like I am swallowing a pill. I feel real weird eating in front of people for this reason, no one has ever said anything, but it must be odd when I take a sip of my drink with every bite of food, while the food is in my mouth. Better than choking to death, though, because there has been a few times I started swallowing and it was not going down and I was pretty sure I'd choke, but managed to get it down or spit it back up. Definitely scared me... a lot. After those incidents I couldn't even finish eating because it freaked me out so bad.
Lower blood pressure and breathing: If you are still conscious its probably not anything to worry about. But if its bothering you then you could cut back a little. Oh I just read your post about diplopia and dizziness. You definitely need to watch out. Idk what the 10 mg of medication you take is, but if it is indeed a benzo then you are at an even greater risk for OD'ing.
Hard to sleep because of above problem: Benadryl helps with this, as well as the itching.
When i run out of stock: Well the answer to this is pretty obvious.
 
^^

Damn. You have to be careful, man. What you described sounds 2 steps away from being a bad OD. Those are all the symptoms of overdosing. You're lucky you were able to come out of it yourself.

Yeah i've been near OD or small OD'd a few times. I guess that's a consequence of getting into drugs all by yourself, all i've learned was through the internet, all the drugs i got came through there too. Stuff like learning and doing self IV isn't that easy, the first shots at least ;p.

10mg of what? You don't say what it is you take twice a day, only that it's 10mg.

Sry forgot to say, it's diazepam like RTrain guessed.
Also i am a benzo addict for years, plus years of anti-depressive high dose (anafranil 150mg), (both prescribed), i think that is what makes me having a harder time with breathing/low BP, to the point i have to stop H hours before sleep. Another thing i don't enjoy the "rush", even from IV, that stuff i see in the movies of IV'ing a strong shot and falling asleep in a bliss of pleasure just isn't for me i guess.
 
Screw the movies, the movies over exaggerate all aspects of drug use, the negative and positives.

And yes not having regular BMs is definitely horrible for your colon. It can also lead to other issues with toxic build up in your system like high ammonia levels, which can cause organ failure and other problems that are potentially fatal. So don't sit there and think constipation is some minor issue like itching, it is a far more serious medical concern you should address. Not to mention the physical damage it can do to the colon, the effect it can have on you appetite and the fact that excessive constipation can leave you at higher risk for colon cancer.

That /\, was pretty durn cool!

I bet that person had a hell of a tummy ache though.

For the OP, if you are having slowed/difficult respirations and decreased BP due to the heroin then sugar is not going to do anything for that.
 
Jesus...that was gross. My eyes had to adjust. Just like when I had to deal when learning about syphilis...I was eating when I flipped the book open the first time. I opened my mouth and let the food fall out. That's probably what my bowls are like.
