Survey (of sorts): how often do you have to experience WD on average?

well, this board doesn't have a way of posting a survey (as far as i can tell) so i was wondering in an average week how often my fellow junkies have to go through the pains, anxiety, and boredom of WD between scoring on a weekly basis?

i use anywhere from 80-140mg of oxy per day (depending on how much money i have). sometimes i can only get my hands on maybe 30 mg per day (ouch). and some days i have to skip all together (double ouch). longest i have been in WD for is 48 hours and that was the MEGA SUCK. i keep a stash of bupe but i rarely ever touch it because it seems that every time i break down and take some, i magically come up on oxy within an hour of using the bupe. infuriating! :! i would say i usually go through a total of 12 hours of WD in any given week. not much but obviously TOO MUCH.

PS - Mods: if this is a stupid topic, please remove it (i'm sure you would if the need arose, anyway).
 
i dunno about weekly, but i go about a week total per month in WD's. a day here, 2 days there, sometimes 3 or 4. quadruple suck. wait i just had a thought, maybe i should quit or something??...??

haHAAAAA! oh man that's a good one. how long, on average, does it take for you to complete acute withdrawal? what is your choice opiate?
 
i use IV heroin, and though i try to keep it to .25 every 24 hours i have a sneaky way of fucking myself and using more like .5 every 24... i feel like im physically over the hump after 3 days to be honest, the 4th day always seems easier than the previous 2-3. i keep reserves of loperamide handy however, which i take on days 2 and 3. twice as much on 2 as on 3. i have absolutely no energy for the first 3 days, i wont sleep the whole night through for about 5 days, and mentally i need about a month to come out of the depression.

this sounds about right for me 5 years ago when i quit. i relapsed with oxy one year ago and i have been on them almost every day since (and the few days i have not...let's just say i didn't get out of bed and all i could do was listen to sigur ros very quietly and shake. i would also get very angry at my fiancé over stupid shit. i wouldn't yell at her or show her that i was angry...she just thinks i'm sick when i get WD bad enough to where i can't hide it. i feel really guilty, too, because she goes to the store and buys me immodium and dxm and such out of her own pocket. :( some day i'll be free again. maybe. the fact that i have such a supportive and amazing woman in my life helps me immensely on my WD days.
 
^does your woman know youre an addict?

Im an iv heroin user. I use 45mg of methadone in the am and .2 of heroin before bed or a few hours before. Have seriously cut my usage down, was at a gram and a half day habit last year. I like the little system i got going, it saves me a crap load of cashand im never sick. Well i dont really get sick unless i end up in jail which is extremely rare nowadays. Havent been there since august and before that it was september of the year before. Back in Alaska a few years ago id be sick on an every other day basis.
 
I go through Wd's about 24 hours per week. like today I will get my fix in 4 hours but that may as well be 4 days! It sucks because wd's mean not just the physical,but the guilt that comes with addiction and knowing I have to quit and wanting to feel like my old self again when I didn't use at all! ugh!

she does but she doesn't know much about the whole process and since i mainly use pharms (i only buy H when i can't afford/find pharms), she doesn't seem to think it's too big of a deal. it doesn't cause me problems, over all. just an expensive-ass habit. i do hair for a living, though, and get paid in cash daily. you would be surprised at how many hair stylists D.O.C. is Oxycodone. it's a mega-popular drug among stylists. i got hooked on it initially because i developed scoliosis (from doing hair) and didn't know i was physically dependent until it was too late. :/
 
I regularly go through withdrawals, pain permitting. If I'm not really hurting, I'll usually skip/save my dose. It helps me to gauge my level of dependency, and also definitely helps keep my tolerance in check.
 
I know that if I moved back east and started IVing heroin again my habit would be at a gram a day/2 bundles a day within under 2 weeks....I was using between 1 1/2-3 grams a day for over four years.....actually, at the begininng of those 4 years I was doing about a 1/2 g a day for the first sixth months....

The next 18 months up to the 2 year point of my habit, I probably averaged around one gram....Then it went up to 1 1/2 to 2 grams....

The last year up until july 2011, I was IVing at least 2 every single day....

There were probably only 20 days in that time that I didn't use heroin....

I had never had anything close to a habit like that before because of mostly financial reasons and and how easy it was for me to acquire it....Gradually I just kept meeting more and more dealers and having more and more people come to me for dope, plus I had a job making 20 an hour that was as easy as it gets for disguising a dope habit....Everything just came together where I pretty much always had access and the means to get it, which was always my dream for years before it finally happened...It wasn't everything I dreamed of at all, I just felt so hopelessly trapped!

But no matter how much you do, you get used to it really quickly! If I had put aside even half the money I was going through for dope, I would have enough money to live really well paying for everything for 5 years!

Thing is, I fucked myself, because I could never go back to fucking around with 20s or 1/2 gs anymore.....

I don't have any of my connections for dope....I have nobody coming to me for dope, no 20 dollar an hour job, I just couldn't pull it off anymore, so why even bother...There's never enough to satisfy you, you always need more money and drugs the next day, it just starts to suck!

With opiates, it seems to end up that, the guy spending 200 a day doesnt really get any higher than the guy spending 50! If I had known that I guess I would have tried to keep down my tolerance, but I'll spend however much I possibly can on it.....Yeah, I'm pretty much done, unless I come into enough money to cover a big habit it's not worth it anymore...
 
I want to clarify, that yeah, I never had any time taking substantial breaks from opioids, I take em for chronic pain, I try my best to take the least amount as necessary, but if you can do so, pain permitting, I would regularly allow myself to go 24-36h and allowing myself to go into full WD. This reminds me how far deep in I am, it keeps me from ever escalating doses/tolerance, and it feels DAMNED good, the closest thing to a rush I will ever experience with the drug oxycodone is by taking your full dose via the oral and / or rectal ROA and go from feeling mentally -100 to + 100, and having pain levels go from say (I wouldn't do this if my pains above about a 4-5, but if on the pain scale I'm at a 4 or below, I try to go without my medication until I can't bear it.

I don't know why I would do this, people always ask me why, why I would put myself through withdrawals, but the results speak for themselves. That's why I do it, when I can.
 
Fuck withdraws. My use has gottn heavy to where I gotta shoot close to a bun to get high and that's some pretty good dope. Well I try n get pills or dope before I start withdrawin. Longest period has prob been a few hours. I got money so I don't sit around an wait for the pain to start an the withdraws make me sorta crazy.

Withdraws start after about 12 hours from last use. Prob around 16 hours. Even though I've always got subs on deck I hate them. Its like I can't get high on em gotta wait to withdraw to takem and gotta wait for em to wear off to use again. But they do save the day.
 
^Yeah taking the subs when you're in the midst of a good full-agonist/heroin habit, taking the suboxone feels like failure! Then, you finally decide to take the sub and you have dope an hour later!

This ^ I have my hustles that allow me around $40-70 worth of drugs a day, with some leftovers for food and what not. At all times i have at least 16mg of suboxone and a few methadone to keep me well for 4 or 5 days, enough to save up some money to start the hustle again. I haven't felt the withdrawls from the 3 month bender im on, and i dont really plan too 8)

I just dosed 30mg done and 2mg xanax, which will hopefully keep me well till friday morning.......then I have 12mg of suboxone till monday to hold me over till my customers are back and i can make some money.. It wouldn't bug me at all if i didn't only have a half gram of buds left D:
 
i deal with withdrawal about one day a week. i am very lucky in the fact that one of my best friends is a roxy/opana dealer so i can get things on the front when money is very tight, but even then i still don't have the money to completely cover my habit. my withdrawals have been getting worse and worse, obviously as i continue to use opiates every day i can; however, i have found a fairly decent connect for subutex which i like tons more than suboxone. i also can always access benzos which helps me with my RLS (my most dreaded symptom by far!)

i plan on tapering off significantly very soon and then quitting when i change cities here in a few months. that will be a huge change in my life if i stick with it.

edit: like everyone else has said, when you have a serious opiate habit, you hustle hard
