The acute effects of opiate withdrawals usually last about 5 days. Sometimes 7 days or so for me when i come off morphine. Some effects and insomnia is one of them can linger for a good while after though.

It also depends on your habit^
If your heroin tolorance aint that high like mine, youd prolly only withdrawal for about 3 - 5 days, but iv heard some hardcore addicts say that they are still in withdrawal after almost a week. So i guess its different for everyone.
My worrst symptoms(not including insomnia) were 80% gone on the 3rd day. Just still couldnt sleep very well. Even though the worst only lasted around 3 days I broke down anyways, couldnt take it.(cuz im a pussy, lol) so I got maintnence. IMO it's the best way to quit or get your normal life back. You can just stay on it if your not ready to quit yet.
But, if you can do it 'cold turkey', then props to you. It's very character building. Everytime I go for extended periods of wd, I always come out with a different out look on life. Not just on heroin or my habit, but life in general. It's almost like a "trip". definetly not a good one, but I still seem to learn something new every time. Tho It's probably just my brain frying because of the lack of sleep.

The last time I tried to kick (oxy) at day 9 I was still feeling pretty ill. Still sleepless. Still sweating. Dont get me wrong, I felt better than at day 3, but it was still one long nightmare.
I can't help you with the sleep. Benzos are the only thing that let me sleep, and even then it's just for a few hours at a time.
I would advise against both diphen. and cyclo. for reasons already explained in the thread. They just intensify the symptoms and make me feel even more exhausted and restless. Alcohol is a no no too, especially beer, it's not good for the withdrawal bowel problems. Definately take some immodium.
Good luck.
