Hello, i have made many attempts at getting clean more then i count, but this im pretty sure im done with H, im completely broke and couldnt afford it anymore even if i wanted, well its been about 80hrs since my last dose, and while i still feel pretty shitty, the mental is becoming more hard to handle...Evertyime i close my eyes, all i see is a big shot of dope getting pushed into my vein, that and constant thoughts of suicide overwhelm my mind, i know this is normal and i know i will not act on these thoughts but i cant stop them from happening..how long did it take you guys for your cravings/suicidal ideation to go away?

Oh, and i think i got over the hump of the W/D..i woke up this morning excepting to feel like complete shit when i fully woke up, but suprisingly it is no worse then yesterday, maybe a lil better.
 
Well dude the depression and cravings are gonna last awhile maybe even a few months. Have you ever heard of post acute withdrawl syndrome? It is about as fun as it sounds crippling depression paranioa cravings but the good thing is it will go away you just need to ride it out. Exercise and eating healthy will diminish some of the symptoms I also reccomend some kinda therapy if thats not possible maybe hit up some NA meetings. Props on making the decision to quit tht is huge!
 
thanks crimson.

I have a bad situation guys and i dont know what to do, me and my friends did cocaine today and now i am coming down from it and a stim comedown + opiate withdrawal is straight hell right now, all i want to do is sleep and i dont know how its gonna be possible now, i have no money so i cant just go buy something from the store..ive took 4 benadryl so far, took a shot of liquor(out now), and am smoking resin right now..does anyone what i might be able to do besides pray, for some sleep?

You'll pass out sooner or later. Lay down and try to relax, listen to some calm music or something.

My personal advice: as soon as you can, try to get up and active. Your body will kick up its natural endorphin production a lot faster.
 
do you know if it would be harmful if i took any more diphenhydramine(i've tooken 100mg so far), obviously everyones body is different but is there a general consensus if its safe or not on coke?
 
100mg is more than enough. Taking more only increases side effects like delerium, drymouth, agitation, etc. Even 50mg should be enough if you give it time to work.

You can also try avoiding blue lights (not the forums) or bright lights of any sort, try to relax, and maybe try taking melatonin around bedtime.
 
350mg of diphenhydramine and about of and hour and half of laying there and i finally got to sleep:|

Day 5 of withdrawals, im still feeling like shit, but atleast i see hope in my future..tommorow is my first true test though because i actually will have money in the morning, so idk i really really hope i can get through it tommorow but you guys know how shit goes.
 
Dude, GOOD LUCK with tommrow. Hope all goes well for you. best tip I can give you is take your cash and open a NEW bank account, chuck all the money in there that you can, you wont be able to access it untill you get your new card in the mail. That will give you at least a few more days of resolve to help kick the habbit.

Talking to someone (not just about the WD's, but just talking shit) will help keep your mind off things aswell. PM me if im online and ill kill half an hour with you or so. Im sure there are plenty of ppl on this site that are more then happy to help in the same way.

Again, good luck, my thoughts are with you.
 
You can do it. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but you've got through the first 5 days, so you can get through tomorrow too.

If for some reason things go wrong and you don't - you've clearly got the desire to quit, plus a lot of strength to have got through the past 5 days. You could think about getting on a maintenance programme to help you..

If you need it, take a look at The Dark Side forum and this thread from Other Drugs.

Good luck!
 
fogot to add in my last post.

if worst happn's and you do slip up, dont beat yourself up about it. Youre in control and in the end you WILL win.
 
thanks alot for the support guys it really means alot.


still day 5 technically since it didnt start till 10:38 at night, i still have not used, but i will admit, i did make a phone call and probably would have had he answered, but in a way im kind of glad he didnt. but for some reason now on day 5, its like, now that i have the option to use if i want to, i feel worse mentally and physically then i did on like day 3-4 when i knew i couldnt use without pulling 1000 strings which i was too sick to do, i would think i would be feeling better by now??? If it helps, i've been an addict for about 4 years, starting off popping/smoking OC80's, started to watch all my cash get flushed away so i moved to smoking and then eventually iving H about a year ago(1/2 gram every day), lost my h source about 6 months back, and with virtually no money left i could only buy about 1-2 30mg's Roxies a day(iv) and most the time they dont even get me going, i just do them so i can function and get what i need to get done that day, and blah sorry if im rambling i'll get to my last 2 questions for now

Given my daily opiate intake in your guys opinions how long do you think it will be before i start to come out of withdrawal

and also, lets say i do use, it will most likely only be 1 thirty mg Roxie, would that be enough to start the withdrawal process over back to day 1 as bad as its been?
 
I'm afraid I don't know the answers to your questions..

I think I'm going to move your thread over to the Other Drugs forum - it's getting a bit long and complicated for BDD, we generally try to stick with quick question and answer threads. There is a lot of experience in helping people with opioid addiction and withdrawal over there too, and they have a lot of people in a similar situation as yourself, so hopefully someone there can help you.

BDD > OD
 
I wish you the best luck dude, best thing to do is just stay away from the stuff, eventually things will feel normal again.

I have heard DxM does ease opiate w/d's. I'm not totally for sure if it does or not, but maybe its something you could look into?
 
The best advice I can give you is to find something that you like doing that isn't opiates. Extreme sports, programming, skydiving, whatever.
 
ive been trying but i really cant find anything enjoyable at all anymore to do, everything i used to like to do, its like ive done it HIGH so many times, doing it sober just doesnt feel the same or enjoyable at all..ive literally been cooped up in my house with nothing to do for 5 days except for an occasional walk at night just for excerise.
 
Force youself to go out and do something regardless or you will have a really hard time recovering. Try something new - build a model, ride a bike, go to a gym, go for a swim... I think you're only fooling yourself if you say that there is "nothing to do".

Staying inside being bored won't help. There is life after opiates but you have to make a path for yourself. Don't expect to wake up one day and just feel better because it won't happen. You have to work towards it.

We have lots of tips on the mechanics and recovery from W/D in this forum but I think The Dark Side is better if you need advice on feeling better witout opiates. I'll move this over...
 
You are only five days into your withdrawal. Dont expect to magically feel better, but do expect to feel a bit to a lot better after four or five more days.
 
I’ve never gone through H WD's but I have had some rough times with other substances. In my experiences doing stuff does help, and I know sometimes that is just impossible, what with the sweats, pain, mind fucks etc. one thing I found really helpful is getting a NON ADDICTIVE sleeping tablet Phenergan25 or similar and literally sleeping through the really bad parts (not recommending use for days at a time, just when I was having fucking horrible cravings id have 75mg of Phenergan and sleep for 4-5 hours, also before trying this I recommend anonymously calling a pharmacy and telling them you are kicking an opiate addiction and asking if it is ok to take, they will give you GREAT advice and have NO obligation to call the police).
Also eat as many raw vegetables as you can stomach.
Sorry to say that if you do use again (even once) you are going to hit the worst of the withdrawals again. You are already going through the worst of it at the moment; try not to put yourself through it twice.

About 7-14 days is the full withdrawal cycle of Heroin, you may still crave, but you won’t feel like shit.

Again, GOOD LUCK. Let us know how you go, and as always if you just feel like chatting, about anything, to keep your mind off things, hit me up if I’m online.

EDIT: Quoted dosage of 75mg of Phenergan is the packet recommended dose and it never had a problem getting me to sleep. I wouldn't recomment/see a need to increase this dose, especially when WD'ing.
