Makeshift taper.

I've been clean off of dope (cold turkey) since Sunday and I'm still slightly suffering from withdrawal (restlessness, chills, etc.). In the process of getting rid of my dope stuff, I found a half-empty bag that the junkie in me told to not throw away.

I had a habit of about 2 bags a day for a couple of weeks (daily use). I'm wondering if snorting the rest of the bag I found could help me feel better WITHOUT kick starting full-blown withdrawal again (once its effects wear off)? I know this is incredibly stupid and I'm going to tickle the urge to use again, but in the interest of harm reduction and alleviating my discomfort, could this sloppy taper work?

I feel stupid asking this but then again I feel stupid using dope in the first place so :\. Thanks in advance!
 
While possible, it's highly unlikely that it'll be effective.

DON'T snort enough to get a noticeable high, whatever you do. The "taste" comes back, and all the work shall be undone.

Good luck!

Sending this to OD as they deal w/ taper plans more. :)

BDD -> OD
 
I did the "smart" (using this loosely) thing and just left it alone. I took some klonopin to ease my symptoms.

It's weird, I won't take benzos more than two days in a row and make sure I take like ~5mg max a month, yet I'll do heroin every single waking moment of every day. -_- fail
 
Well at least you're not using benzos with heroin everyday, AKA the walking deadman.

It's really hard to taper with full agonist of your choice, but your habit was so small I would just ride out the withdrawals.
