High. I’ve been kind of on/off heroin for sometime and have few questions.
I’m pretty sure it does but don’t know: if someone goes on methadone for heroin withdrawal, does this prolong how long it will take before the symptoms are gone? More so, does the same go for Imodium?
Also, any advice on weening off the drugs would be helpful. I really doubt I could hold onto it and not use it for recreational purposes, but if I give a shot(haha), how should I approach this? A very little a day? Every other day? For a little background info, I would normally does once a day in the morn, around a dime.
Thanks and any input is appreciated!

When you go on methadone it will mask the withdrawl symptoms from the heroin, but its a double edged sword because you are now dependent on methadone. Now you are going ot have to kick the methadone. Which isnt fun. Methadone will usually take 1/2 hour to an hour to alliveate the withdrawl symptoms. My personal belief if that longterm methadone maintience is a crack, the only good thing methadone should be used for (other than chronic pain) is a quick 3 day detox using methadone in tapered doses to help you along the way. As for Imodium or what ever thats an old junk rumor it helps, didnt help me, but it might help you. Its an OC med, so theres your answer.
As for weening off, its will power its hard to hold onto dope i know. But if you shoot a dime a day thats not a bad habit at all. Shoot 3/4 a bag for 2 days, than 1/2 bag for 2 days, than 1/4 bag for a day. Than get your self some benzos (much need, actually a god-send when dealing with withdrawls)

Dude, I'm on Meth and it kinda saved my life. I've been on 4 years, far too long, but I'm only on 25 mg now.Was up to 140 mg at one time. It keeps you off the streets and out of those dept. stores. Catch my drift? Meth programs are full of people sellin Xanax, Klonopin, and all other sorts of shit. Me, I personally never cared for pills of that nature. Get on a pg E_REP.Maybe a 6 month detox. It will save your life. It saved me.Benzos?
 
Diamond, Benzos are a must for any serious withdrawal preparation.
There's no way you can relax when you're muscles are spassming, your head feels like its chillin' in the fiery pits of hell being pounded on over and over and over, and all the other physical discomfort you go through. Benzos help your body relax, and give you a change to get some rest.
 
Thanks for the reply's guys. I'm finding out my habit wasn't shit. Neither was the withdrawl. I went for about 3 days last week, then did 4 bags from Wednsday to Monday, going less and less on the dose. Now it's been another 3 days and I worked out last night. Maybe it would have been worse, but everytime I felt anything coming on I hit the Imodium and it did help. The mental is there though, but smoking weed helps with that.
 
Just thank GOD I don't do DOPE no more.> Not sayin Meth is good< I actually hate my pg, but it can help put u back toghther. Just don't stay on to long, cause that's what they want. Especially if your a good patient i.e. clean urine's. But, let those dirty urine's build up and you'll soon be in uncharted waters again. Nice talkin to you guys.
