Question on H withdrawals...

Ok this is my current situation:
as of know i've been snorting H daily for almost 3 weeks... quantitavely speaking, i dont do actually much... using the nasal spray method, i probably take in say 5-7 fat lines per day (or thereabouts, maybe more)... but i do it regularly (as in throughout the day, from when i wake up to when i go to sleep)...
the quality of what i'm taking is *good*...
...now then, i'm beginning to run low, and i'll be heading off to the mountains soon where i've got 0 access to this stuff, my question is what to expect in terms of withdarawals?
...currently, i start getting kidney aches after some hours of not taking any H... i'm not sure how much of this is psychologiclal & how much is real though... will it get really bad for these sorts of amounts?
is tapering down useful in these cases?
any help/info GREATLY appreciated... thx
 
is tapering down useful in these cases?
Yes, tapering is always a good idea, if you have the willpower to do so...
Your withdrawal is not gunna be fun but I reckon you will survive...tapering and/or using other opiates is going to be your best bet at warding off the pain.
 
read the withdrawl FAQ. Other than that, going off to a place that you don't have access, and is serene and nice and peaceful is a good idea.
 
Your gonna sweat, feel hot, feel cold, get sick, puke, shit, won't be able to eat & get headachs. I'd check out the FAQ's or search for more details...
 
Of course he will fucking survive...this is just opiate withdrawal, essentially never fatal unless there are complications (pretty bad heart problems, other drug withdrawal etc..). I know you probably didn't mean it this way but I figured a clarification wouldn't hurt.
Your kidneys are probably hurting because they are starting up again suddenly after their movement is suppressed by opiates. If you don't taper on the opiates a taper on some immodium might do the trick for this pain (of course this is just an educated guess).

thx for your replies ppl... i've started on the tapering mission (if that can succeed, that is), and my kidney pains are only really felt when i'm sitting down, so i just try to keep on busy on my feet...
...i did check the FAQ out... i just wanted something of a personalised response for my particular scenario, since i'm pretty shocked @ getting withdrawls (i've done H regularly for a year+ without ever going through this)... quite frankly i think i'm more scared of the fact i'm going through withdrawls than the withdrawls themselves...
anyways, thanks again... i'm off to the mountains soon, so wish me luck :)
 
You don't sound like you haveit that bad.. yeah, you're going to hurt but it will pass in a few days ... drink lots of water and if you can get benzos, well, thats good...
A note about the FAQ - the Imodium AD thing works for SOME but many report it does nothing, so YMMV ...
Taper if you can but I would personally just do it up then deal with the pain for a few days...
