I tried to kick my habit recently as usual I caved, this time around 36 hours after my last dose of H. I grab 8 bags today and did 2, then another 2, then another 2 with an hour or so period. The was not bad but not as good as my usual, especially considering I was clean for almost two days. Anyway my eyes are pinned I got a little nod going on, I'm definitely high but I am still getting a little chill every few minutes. As if I'm in the beginning stages of withdrawal. I am going to do the other two bags in another two hours so I can get a rush and right now my breathing is pretty shallow so I don't know what is going on.
 
I would wait until the next day to do the last of your dope. If your breathing is more shallow than normal, don't play with fire just to get a rush. Unless your dope is really bunk garbage I also don't see how the chills you are experiencing could be withdrawal, since you've been using every hour or so.
 
When I get into really bad withdrawal and then do some heroin, it doesn't fix everything instantly. Most things it does and I feel so much better, but a few withdrawal symptoms hang around for a little while even after taking the dope. I think your body just gets so out of whack and stressed when you come off a large opiate habit, that it takes some time to recover and normalize itself even after you get opiates back into your system.

Btw, have you tried suboxone? You said you went 36 hours before caving, that is an achievement in itself. For me, just going 18 hours is a huge deal. If you would just take some suboxone at that time, instead of going back to heroin, you would feel a lot better but because suboxone is only a partial agonist, it wouldn't reverse all the progress you made. You can use suboxone as an interim between heroin and sobriety to ease the pain.
 
^ completly agree with burnout if im in WD and take anything whether it be suboxone or any opiate EXCEPT METHADONE.. it doesnt do much, it makes my RLS go away and diminishes all the other symptoms but i still feel shitty so ive learned to just do enough to keep em away start eatting again and drink lots of water and take a long hot shower, get some sleep to.. and then the next day i would be ready to go
 
If you can manage almost 2 days in WD, pick up just 1 suboxone. Wait about 24hrs and take about 2mg first day then 1mg/day after until it's gone. You won't feel well, but it'll make it easier to resist getting more bags. You're kinda spreading the pain out a little more, but the WD will be much more mild.
(I'm doing right now, into day 4 of no bupe and WD is very mild. I even slept last night.)

As for getting chills after dosing in that situation, I've never had anything like that. Infact, I love dosing while in WD cause you appreciate the high so much more.
 
Yup, detoxing with Suboxone is one of the easiest detoxes around. But it involves getting Suboxone ;) Just be prepared that if you want to use your opioid of choice again soon after detoxing with the Suboxone you'll have to wait up to a week to ten days before all the bupe is out of your system (otherwise the bupe will block a lot of the enjoyable effects of your chosen opioid, while it's still lingering in your system I mean).
