Im new here hello

Will do mate. Still a bit spaced out from the pregab but feeling the rattle as well. Going an NA meeting this afternoon and tonight, keeping myself busy
Your doing pretty fucking well all things considered so do remember that, IME with opiates in general the first 3-4 days are genuinely the only real bad ones, that being said I'm incredibly lucky with that class in particular and have a lucky ability to balance it so far for a good decade almost.

Please keep us updated its really great to see people getting themselves to a better place. You might fall a few times or hit it running first shot but regardless you can do it!

Hello lovely people. I'm new on here and am looking for some advice please. I am addicted to smoking heroin and am at the edge of losing everything. I'm smoking between 4 and 6 bags a day.
I have this Sunday to the following Monday booked off work and am planning to stop/rattle it out. I have some pregabalin tablets given to me from a friend and he tells me they are supposed to help withdrawal symptoms but have no idea if I should take them. Or how many and how often. I literally have 7/8 days to get over the worst of it before I'm back in work. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you
Welcome.
Pregabalin helped me big time. My advice is, go through the very first days , without it. You'll need it later for the continuation of your journey. I am , dont know, three weeks in cold turkey, 40 mg Methadone. Did it. In the end, when I was almost failing, I had the aid of pregabalin. But, there is a catch. This drug can mess you up and give you a great high, together with heroin. Dont, dont go that route.
I started at day 15, when I couldnt take it anymore and started with 100mg. Thats a higher'ish dose. Wait at least 90 minutes, before pop another pill.
Remember, that hot water is your friend, ( bathing , having a shower) , and goood food , if you can afford it, with cold water to drink. This will not give you emidiate effects, those days are over,but it helps sherten your trip. OMG, I hated that advice, but activity of your body, in any form is imminent important. If you dare. You should totally do it. At the very least, you tried and know better next time.
Ask me anything, if you want , I am here to help, if I can.
Heroin, if you have the unlaced version, is over in 10 days. Its not , that you wake up with a smile, though. The heavy lifting, comes after you sobered up.

And. 7 to 8 days is never, ever enough..... ( But that is another topic, when you did your first week. Everything else falls into place. That, my dear , is a heartfelt truth.)

Hey man sometimes a good sleep binge is as good as a drug binge feels. If you can clock out for hours a day its a way to pass the withdrawal phase quicker if your so lucky to be sleeping well. Sometimes you need that sleep and its just replenish time, eat and drink as well as possible to aid that process. For my self a little good weed goes a long way, so a lot of good weed goes a very long way, at least for myself.

I guess that comes down to your reason for stopping and is that included in that net? I can't speak for you but if you can control that use you should be sweet. Best of luck sleeping tonight!

Exactly!! Tonight be the 1st night gonna try sleep with nothing. Can't do the weed man, makes me legs.more restless! Kills me, for me and as I don't IV, the RLS is the worst bit.

Go have a nice hot shower when you think you're ready for bed, then immediately go to your *cool* bedroom. The temperature difference can help make you sleepy.

Didn't quite work although I got maybe 2 hours sleep! Take it while I can I guess! Now sat watching tv tossing and turning!!
 
Last used Saturday lunchtime so not quote sure how long opiates have been out of my body really
 
Permanent restless legs, shivery, sweating, anxious. Not horrendous as I only smoked but am struggling with the lack of sleep. I have pregabalin but don't want to keep relying on them

Wow, I'm glad that you're W/Ds seem to be relatively mild in comparison to mine and most everybody else I know of.

I use fentanyl, as there is no tar around anymore here in the state of Oregon/Washington... it was essentially replaced by the bullshit we have now.

I was scrolling and saw you said you were going to kick and then saw a few of your follow-up posts saying you're actually doing it.

I'm happy for you, you got this. and once it's over I hope you beat the shit and never look back.

Out if curiosity, how much do you use a day? .50 1g, 2g, 3g?

Yeah i aint got the shi*south too bad or sickness. I was smoking 6-8 £10 bags per day, unsure what the weight of that is to be honest. The quality of the heroin round me is poor.
It's the sleeplessness and restless legs that I'm struggling with

Plusni have ended up taking pregabalin pretty much each day and night while WD, I'm guessing they will be taking the edge off my WD??

Well, when tar was still available around my part of the world, if you got anything under a half gram you got point for point... Half grams were $45 for 0.50g, $80 for a full gram, etc

So, I'm assuming you're doing 0.80 if they're $10 bags, almost a gram a day.

That's still a relatively for habnit to have going on.

Yeah sounds about right. I know a gram used to be **no price discussion please ** 25 years ago (that was my last time using until 18 months ago) I've heard an ounce is around **no price discussion please** these days if that's anything to go off? Do you know much about pregabalin?

Hey there, welcome!

I hope your withdrawal is going as well as it can, although I know it sucks ass, you'll get through the worst of it before you know it, and you are going to feel so much better once you get through your physical addiction.

And pregabalin is a gabapentinoid drug, it is used for neuropathic pain and anxiety relief, it's basically a fairly strong sedative, but it's not a benzodiazepine.

Also, we don't really discuss prices of drugs here, so I edited that part out of your post.

Welcome to BL 🙏🤟
 
Do you know much about pregabalin?

Here is a megathread with lots of information and discussion regarding pregabalin
