All right I've been a user of opiates for multiple years. I have gone on many, many binges but am glad to say I've avoided any physical dependence (now psychological, that's a whole different discussion). Lately my DOC has been heroin (either IV or intranasal. I've only been IVing for about a week, and I'm done with it. I know I should get out now before things get worse. I havent used a syringe in about 1.5 days). I've been doing about 3 bags a day max.

Anyway, it's been 12 hours since my last H dose (been using for about 9 days with no break). I slept wonderfully, woke up feeling fine, and things are still going well. I've felt way worse after binging on fent and opana for 3 days straight

here's my question: if I do start to feel w/d, should I just cold turkey it? I feel like the w/d symptoms will be fairly minimal, but annoying nonetheless. I have 60 mg of klonopin, 500 mg of oxycodone (5/325 percocets), and about 62 mg of lunesta. If i start to feel crappy, should I just take minimal doses of oxy to keep it at bay or just endure it? I was thinking of maybe taking 10 mg of oxy every 15-20 mins until I feel stable. I won't be trying to get high, as I would need at least 100 mg of oxy to make it worth my time. Sleeping shouldn't be a problem with the lunesta and klonopin, so that's always a plus.


Any input? I don't have access to subs at the moment, so that's a no go.
 
Your upper limit with 5/325 percs is going to be about 12 pills a day due to the apap. Going over that is not good for your liver. I've taken them in a pinch to get past the worst part of a w/d. Sounds like you're set with the sleeping pills.

Sounds like if you had subs you'd take them. Perhaps you can barter some of the percs for some subs.

eta: I cant imagine going cold turkey if I had some percs, esp that many. I know myself; it's just not in me.

I would take percs in a pinch also. I think they work better if u wait till ur feeling withdrawal. An take them to help u sleep. Ibwouldnt take them all day to mask any withdrawal cuz ur just replacing. But if after 24 hrs u cant sleep Rale 2 and a sleeping pil. Ur good. U dont wanna feel great. Cuz then.
You wont b detoxing. Just take them to b comfortable. Cuz true withdrawal is brutally uncomfortable. Get out while u can. I no u may feel a lil shitty now. Bit if u continue. Withdrawal is. Horrible and taxing. And id rather give birth to 8 kids than go thru withdrawal. Because withdrawal seems to gi on forever. Doin heroin for a week should make u annoyed for about 2 days
 
Don't go cold turkey man! use other drugs instead during the withdrawal. Then you don't need to feel shitty. But if you still have no withdrawal, maybe your fine!
