Ok my story in a nutshell. I have been on opiates for the last 10 years. Started on pain meds due to several herniated disks. then had back surgery and got stronger meds. then to shooting heroin.

I'm 35 I came down to Tennessee with family because I tried every other possible way to kick this thing! I'm from ohio but have been in Murfreesboro for 14 days now. I brought 3 suboxone down with me to help me get past the heroin withdraws. Well I took my last piece of sub Sunday. I have been getting WDs for 2 days now and no means of getting anything to taper me further because I don't know anyone here!!

Anybody have any ideas/suggestions as to how to get past the WDs of the subs? Ofcoarse I know I can just sit it out until its all out of my system. But this is much more miserable than expected! I expected some symptoms but had no clue it would've this bad. I tapered down to about 1 1/2 mg a day.
 
realistically the best option is to detox totally and wait it out. the 2nd best option is start eating loperamide (Immodium) - it is an opiate that lacks central activity, and will quell your body's need for opioids for a while.

smoking cannabis and staying physically busy will help as well.
 
Yeah i know the best would be to sit it out but this is pretty unbearable to say the least. i really thought i tapered the subs enough. Boy i sure was fooled!

Like Imodium ad for diarea? Like how many should i take in order to not over do it? That's interesting to say the least.

Smoking cannibas is out of question to because like I said I know no one in the area besides my brother and sister in law. And there drug free. Staying physical is hard to do for sure! I did go for a bike ride today but that was miserable due to all the cramping aches and pains.

Thanks for the suggestions!!
 
The aches and pains will get better gradually. It's just part of the game as your body gets used to having much less endorphin activity.

You may need 20mg or more of loperamide to feel better. It depends. Search the boards for more info - you would have to titrate carefully to find what works best for you. (And be careful to not be too reckless - people have died from loperamide overdoses before)

Don't expect loperamide to make you 100% again. Only time will do that. Just keep in mind that however bad the pains may be, in a few weeks' time you will be feeling much better. Keep yourself as busy as you can, and sleep as much as you can too. You can't feel sore and shitty if you're sound asleep.
 
Thanks again! And yeah I haven't been getting much sleep. Hard to fall asleep. Been taking day/nightquil that seems to help a lil for short period. Yeah imma try the lope. I had a gram to gram and half habit I got past the WDs from the H thanks to the subs. I just wish I would have tapered more. Thanks again!
