I've only done heroin a couple times before I got this gram and the shit I had before sucked. This tar was pretty good though so I bought a gram and just finished it up. I was IVing it and did it all in 10 days. First maybe 5 days I was doing 2 or 3 shots a day but then when I started to run low I went down to 1 shot a day. Before I bought the gram I didn't have any withdrawals. I would just use pills occasionally. But the last couple days right before my shot I would get pretty anxious and a little queezy in my stomach. I've been through withdrawals before a couple years ago and they sucked ass. I was IVing hydromorphone back then, had withdrawals for a couple days at a time in between being able to score but never fully detoxed and then eventually got on Suboxone and had to fully detox from that.

Is 10 days IV every day enough to get withdrawals? I'm thinking heroin would be less intense w/ds but maybe longer lasting than hydromorphone but I hope to God they don't last as long as that Subxone withdrawal. That shit seemed like it would never end and I have no intention of getting back on Suboxone. I'm just asking because until now I had very limited experience with heroin... only done a couple shots of pretty shitty BTH that didn't even really get me high, just held off withdrawals but I've been getting high every day on this gram.
 
I think you might get mild w/d but it wont last nearly as long as the suboxone. because you lowered your dose for the last couple of days you will have an easier time. for me if I do opiates for 5 days in a row when I stop I wil get minor w/d'sd just bad enough to keep me buying more, holding off the inevitable withdrawal beast while it lurks in the shadows getting stronger by the day. so in the future don't use every day if you don't want to get w/d. for every day in the week you do opiates you should do 2 without it. as long as you stick to this and don't make exceptios you should be alright, although that's often easier said than done.

you should stick it out with comfort meds and dont do opiates until you are completely over the withdrawal. I would advise you to take vitamins, drink chamomile tea after 2pm or regular tea instead of coffee in the morning, Loperamide is tehchnically an opiate but it should help you feel better without messing up your detox. drink plenty of fluids and eat healthy food. shower frequently (I know it can be hard to bring yourself to do it if your dope sick, but once your in it feels good.) and occasionally wash your face with warm water. try to stay busy, an idle hand does the devils work, but don't overdo it. your level of sickness will probably be on par with a pretty solid head cold, although your mind will definitely try to blow it out of proportions to trick you into doing more.

if you have specific questions feel free to ask. my guess is that by day 5 you wouldn't be able to tell you went through it,
 
In my experience if I took a break from dope and got back on; I would feel sick after 2-3 days using in a row. Not so much the case when I was earlier in my habit using pain killers like 30s and 60s.
 
It's different for everyone but, usually for people who have already been psychically dependent on opiates in the past, they get re-strung out faster and faster each time they start using again. So, for most people with prior habits, 10 days in a row of use is more than enough time to get dependent again.

Heroin withdrawal is similar in duration and severity to hydromorphone. It's much shorter of a kick than suboxone is though, however it is more intense during the acute-phase.
 
First off i commend you for making a gram of black tar last that long...back when i was using heavily that would maybe last a day if i spaced it out enough...but what you have going for you(like another person said in this thread) is that you pretty much tapered you're dose and did less and less each day. I would guess that you will go through 2-4 days of minor minor withdrawals and then you should be in the clear. I wouldnt think that 1 gram of heroin in a 10 day span would be hard to kick at all...now if it was 10 grams in 10 days, that would be a whole different story my friend. Good luck bub.
 
Damn if I did the whole gram in a day I'd be dead for sure. I took a long break since I was on the Subxone/Dilauidid and was only doing some tabs and roxis here and there so when I did just a tiny test shot and got high off that I was like DAMN this stuff is potent. I tried increasing my dose a bit just to get a better rush and ended up not able to leave my bed for like 2 hours because I was nodding so hard.

Anyway I'm feeling a little shitty but not too bad. It's been 34 hours since my last shot so hopefully it doesn't get too much worse. Only problem is I have to get some dental work done soon and I know he's gonna prescribe me some lortabs afters.
 
If you're just feeling a little shitty after 34 hours, i honestly wouldnt expect the withdrawals to get much worse at all man. Maybe a little more intense in the next 24 hours, but nothing HORRIBLE. You should be feeling drastically better after 72 hours or so so just hang in there man.
 
It's likely you'll get some withdrawals, especially considering that for the first five days you were using multiple times a day. This kind of use is especially risky because it starts to develop a pattern which makes your brain used to recieving a chemical at a certain time of day.luckily your use has been rather short so while their will be some withdrawals I imagine they should be mild and easy enough to tough out.
