I suffered a back injury as well as some of the worst relationship problems of my life about two years ago at the same time. I was prescribed decent scripts of perks and too cope with the physical and emotional pain...well long story short both me and my wife are now heroin addicts and we need to get rid of this drug.

I have a good job and make good money but spend most of it on dope now, about 700 a week easy. We have never shot it only snorted it, I hope this will make the withdrawals somewhat easier. I have plenty of money as well as access too perks, suboxone, more dope and even found some clonidine. As of now we do about a gram EACH sometimes up to two grams each, snorted everyday and have been doing dope everyday for about two years.

Please help and support us coming up with a real plan to ween down and kick this habit with as little discomfort as possible, I have access too all the tools and have the money but need a real plan and need to know what I can expect. Is it possible to ween down tptoo the point I don't have these violent withdraws everyone talks about? Does the fact we only ever snorted make this any better easier on us?
 
I would reccomend getting prescribed subs and take them for a month ONLY. TO avoid withdrawel from them. Snorting warrants the same level severity of withdrawel as snorting in my personal experience. I have withdrew from both snorting/iving and they are pretty much the same. Thats all I have. If you have the money, get the subs and get off quick. Thats the best way for someone who can't deal with the wds. Good luck brother.
 
Get some subs and take the minimum amount to make WD disappear and slowly taper off by .5mg or .25mg every week or so until you are down to .25mg or .125mg. Even then, you are just prolonging withdrawals, I would prefer a few days of hell then a few weeks of misery, but that's me. You will have to eventually go through withdrawals no matter what.
 
Withdraw is the easy part, staying clean is the hard part. Try to find something that you can put your energy into to keep your mind off of getting high.

You have a long road ahead of you, I think the biggest thing that is going to help you is your mental attitude. If you get high again, realize that it's "progress not perfection" Keep trying to stay clean, realize that there WILL BE times that you fall, it's all in how you recover from the fall. Just get the fuck up and keep doing.

You got this man! It's 75% psychological...

EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE!! Exercise releases endorphins (endogeneous morphine) in your brain. It will help the most with PAWS.

When you're withdrawing, get a lot of fluids and take a multivitamin. You're body is going to be trying to regain homeostasis, feed it with the nutrients that it needs to do this efficiently. You're body is a machine.

Best of luck to you, and again YOU GOT THIS SHIT!!!!!!! I feel you're pain, been there.
 
ime, heroin withdrawal is EASY. like the poster above said, your real test is staying clean. because you're going to be doing well in no time flat - 3 to 4 weeks. you'll have 2000 dollars in the bank, a sense of accomplishment, etc. unfortunately, this will lead to the desire to run a victory lap. don't do it.

advice: quit cold turkey and go through hell for a week. try to have a sense of humor about it. i used to pretend that my body was torturing me for the lulz, trying to see how bad it could get by randomly throwing symptoms at me. just do it - it's easier than taking suboxone forever, which is what wil happen.
 
Listen to wiggis taper schedule with suboxone. Cold turkey is best way. But suboxone is painless and if u taper everyday. U should have a lil discomfort. At end. Nothing like heroin cold turkey. B careful dont take suboxone until ur in withdrawal otherwise in can put u into worse withdrawals. I would wait 24 hrs till last use. And if ur restless sneezing uncomfortable than u can take suboxone U can get addicted to suboxone. But. If its btwn heroin or suboxone. Suboxone the better choice. Good luck. Btw. Wen ur done tapering with subs. U can use benzos to get thru those mild withdrawal
 
A gram- two a day, everyday for 2 years? Yeah, that's going to be a nasty kick.. whether you were snorting it or not. You have a few options... You can get on suboxone and be inducted by a doctor, weening off when you feel ready (though it becomes more difficult the longer you are on the shit) You can get on methadone, which is great for a short time detox. Take it for a week and ween off of that. Or you could always tough it out and C/T.. not that I know why you would hah, I sure as hell wouldn't but I hate being dope sick soo.. that's just me. If you want to do a short term kick, methadone is great for that.. but I mean, short. Don't stay on that shit for a month of you'll have another problem. If you and your wife want to take your time and have a month or two to get your head's straight, than suboxone might be good for you. Just keep in mind that coming off of that isn't painless either but it's nowhere near as bad as coming off of a 2 gram a day H habit. If you want to go cold turkey, if you can take the time off of work and everything to get it done, that's good... but it will probably hurt like hell. Don't torture yourself. Methadone or suboxone for the very short term are wonder drugs.. all the horror stories come from people staying on them for months and years. I'm still trying to get off of my subxone.
 
I have no expereince here, but from seeing friends go through it. I just wanted to wish you good luck, and tell you how helpfull kratom has been to a friend of mine who went through a very severe opiate withdrawl.
 
Hey man...you don't need to be on subs anywhere near a month. My last detox i did 4mg day 1 4mg day 2 then 2mg, 2mg, 2mg and finally 1mg then nothing. I felt no withdrawals after, not even a little discomfort.
 
Everyone giving good advice. U can do it. Suboxone a lifesaver when used properly. Ukl only have to suffer for 24 hrs. And that suffering is minimal. Suboxone only works wen ur experiancing withdrawal. PLEASE remember that especially if ur doin it without the care of a dr. Keep us posted how u make out
