Yes yes I KNOW that junk will lead me to ruins. Its done that to me once already, but I'm not hung up on it n I'm quitting soon.
I'm a 22 yr old female, n I've been using white for 8 months now. The first 4 months I was physically dependent, I detoxed, and after that I've been too chicken to pick up an everyday habit.
However every Saturday a friend n me do some together. He chases, I snort. I don't use the whole week before that, except maybe 5 mg the day before. On Saturday itself over an 8 hour period, I use upto 200 mg.
The problem is, about 50 mg in, I start getting these internal chills. not goosebumps, but really bad internal shivers. That don't go away even after I snort some more. It can't be a problem with the smack, because nothing like this happens to my friend. I am a perfectly healthy girl, eat well n exercise too.
This never happened when I was a daily user, its picked up over the past few weeks.
Can someone identify whats happening here?

 
Hi MagicPowder, welcome to Bluelight.:)

We can't really speculate on what's causing your "internal shivers" while you're on heroin, sounds more like a symptom of withdrawal to me than an effect of heroin, but different drugs cause different sensations in different people. It could be the heroin itself making you feel this way, or it could possibly be the cut, I don't know.

If it bothers you, you can either just stop doing heroin, or try a different batch of heroin or another opiate next time. If you're still getting "internal chills", you'll know that it's opiates in general that are causing it, if it doesn't happen you'll know that it was probably just that batch of heroin in particular.

Also, congratulations on detoxing from opiates, but you're playing with fire trying to use heroin once a week, and you could get physically dependent again very quickly.

I wish you the best of luck with this, but I'm closing this because it will just lead to endless speculation.

PM me with any questions.
