Guys I know this is probley next to impossible or maybe pointless but I still had to ask. Right now I have a pretty mild heroin habit and although my WD wont be that bad, I have still sort of grown terrified of it as I've gotten older and been through it more times than I can count.

My plan is to wake up tommorow morning and shoot up my last .1, maybe .2 of H. That would probley keep me normal until later that evening and then I would for sure wake up sick.

So my question is, what if kind of like suboxone, I wake up tommorow morning and I shoot maybe a very small little piece of my remaining H and do that like every 6 hours or whenever I feel very bad. I guess you would call this a rapid taper or something. I've tried it before and it was a failure because everyone in the forums talking about tapering heroin made it sound like it couldn't be done. So that was discouraging, and also obviously I started fiending and it wasn't long before I said "F it, I'll take these WD's head on."

But still, I want to know, hypothetically could an individual soften their landing and even avoid the worst part of WDs this way? What is that individual most likely to experience? And lastly, is there any validity to this plan? I know I can't be the first person to want to try this, and I realize there is no way around WD's except for Suboxone. But still, I'm really not looking forward to WD's again and I don't care bout getting high at this point, I just want to minimize the suffering if at all possible. Thank you bluelight.:?
 
Is there a possibility of someone else dispensing the heroin? Might be easier to stay on the tapering schedule that way than leaving it to your own junky willpower (that you're already showing a lack of with the "whenever I feel bad" cop-out).
 
I don't have anyone would could hold my dope and dispense it to me. This would have to be motivated by my fear of going through withdrawal cold turkey. And my fear level is pretty high, and I am pretty tired of scraping together money everyday just to feel a 5 minute high and then feel normal the rest of the day. I am in a living hell and just want out friends.

I can't dose as usual, I only have like 1 legit dose left. I'm wondering if I could take that amount and break it up into little pieces and just use them as needed for as long as they last. I understand this might be next to impossible because I don't have any willpower, but hypothetically I'm curious how this would affect withdrawal and how much softer it would become as a result. If I could find a fairly definitive answer to my question it might give me enough faith to try this out instead of using my last dose and then facing cold turkey with no benzos, alcohol, sleeping meds, or even weed. And no money or way to get em.
 
Shit i think I'm gonna use the rest, its too hard not too. At least after this Ill have no gas money or money for dope so therefore ill be forced to WD.
 
Yep I guess the thread can go ahead and be delted now. I hate to be one of those ppl who asks for help and then does whatever they want w/o considering the advice given. I didnt get the response I was looking for which is nobodys fault but mine. So now Im gonna face WD. I'll be back later today to checj in and let u guys know how im ding. Ty for being here and being a part of my struglling battle to save my life.
 
You probably made the right choice. I don't think you had enough to do a meaningful taper. Try to get some comfort meds if you can. Loperamide and a benzo can make a world of differance.
 
I hope you're ok and arent feeling too bad.

At all cost try not to buy new heroin or substitute with other substances, you made a choise, a wise descision, to quit using this poison thats destroying your body and life along with it.

As for the suffering from withdrawl, maybe you could make it a little more comfortable with a benzo or antihistamine, but do not block the feelings as they could be just the thing you need, feel how you have poisoned yourself and how the poison is now leaving your body.
Look at it as walking through a path with shattered glass, it will cut your feet and it will hurt, but at the end of the road is redemption and freedom, in a couple of weeks the wounds will heal and you will be free.
Sometimes in life it takes sacrifice to reach whereever you want to go or be.

This is no call for stupidity or taking risks by the way, and not suitable for everybody, if you need medical astistance, seek it.

I can only tell it shook me and opened my eyes when i detoxed from alcohol and pregabaline.
The hurt was real, but the pain of addiction was way, way worse.

Much strenght and power to you and check back to tell us where you are at!<3
 
I also hope you're OK.

Can you tell a friend or family member that you're going through withdrawal and want to sober up from heroin and opiates?

Is it possible for you to go to one of those free state run detox/rehab clinics, or seek some sort of medical assistance?
