Hey guys. Ive been using opiates for around 3 years almost daily. i say almost because the pills in the beginning were every day to every 3 days. fast forward to now and ive been using heroin daily for around 6 months. started off snorting but this past month ive been on a pretty hard IV binge injecting at least twice a day. I stopped cold turkey on tuesday and so far since tuesday night ive only had a constant minor headache thats forgettable at times and wicked night sweats and shitty sleep. been having diarrhea but anytime since the beginning of my opiate use whenever i didnt have opiates i had diarrhea. last night i had annoying pain from the knee down but its gone this morning. i really dont feel THAT bad you know? could it be im used to pain from my broke ass back? or am i an extremely lucky weirdo? Almost scary cause in the back of my head im like yea this isn't shit i can go ahead and keep using.

You take any subs/methadone/other opiate other then heroin? Loperamide? Kratom?

no loperamide or kratom. the dope i had on tuesday could've had subs or methadone cut in it but i highly doubt it. the only things ive taken were a .5 mg ativan on wednesday night and a 30 mg temazepam last night
 
Same here pal. Been going way too fuckin' hard since December - most days a week. Though, when I've gone at least 5 days in a row with zero opiates I haven't suffered shit other than occasionally a runny nose and watery eyes. However, the nose was during the coldest winter ever and watery eyes upon waking so... I don't even count them.

Hardly anyone but my primary gettin' high pal believes me when I tell them.
 
How much do you use per day?

if im snorting then pretty much a gram of east coast powder. injecting is half a gram plus depending on how much i wanna do


edit: i went to carolina rebellion which is a heavy metal festival here in NC, i snorted one bag each day and took some morphine 15 IR's and 1 morphine 30 ER each day. could it be i aggressively weaned myself but was to excited about the music to care/feel the WDs? like im on the tail end of WDs?

You've od'd multiple times man, not tryna be rude but you got bigger issues to worry about then your magical physical habit-free-dope-habit that keeps leading to you od'ing xd.

Your posts scare me a bit, your in it deep man, I hope you can see that.

And you seriously are in day 3 cold turkey and aren't in awful withdrawal right now? Damn. Enjoy it while it lasts, because withdrawal is inevitable and you have yourself a reasonable habit. Don't kid yourself, keep it up and one day withdrawal is going to hit you like a brick wall. Your in the dosage range of severe withdrawal symptoms for most people.

i know man its fucking boggling my mind like no other. is it possible i might wake up in a few days in sheer agony or what?
 
It's very unlikely that you are at the tail end of withdrawal. A taper that fast wouldn't do much, maybe slightly ease the inevitable withdrawals.

If heroin is really the only opiate you use, and you haven't used any others in weeks (no long half life opiates right?) then I'd say you are about midway through h withdrawal with maybe tommorow being the worst day. (Day 4)
 
i honestly have no clue. i thank the withdrawal gods for being easy on me. it is pretty cool seeing color in my face again rather than the ghost white with pink/grey circles around my eyes
 
I think maybe because you use for physical pain?

That is why I use these drugs so I don't really end up overusing them too much to get any bad withdrawals. My pain just comes back and I cry a bit then I go back to them because my back pain is too severe to function without them. At least I try, the main issue I have with these drugs is tolerance rising. I think I cry because I don't want to be a slave to these damned pills and lines etc. not because of withdrawal, it is just suppressed emotions. I just try to leave a pious life apart from being a total fiend I guess, the only side effect I've ever had was constipation with this stuff.

When I started, all I used to take was half a fucking percocet and I would be where I want to be. I need to get back to that, which means not using heroin because it totally wrecks my oxy tolerance over time. The issue is that I strongly prefer quality H over oxy because I like to be sedated over stimulated mainly since I have a very serious panic attack disorder. Fuck, I could go for some good H right now... the problem is most of it is such tainted trash. I wonder why the cut it, only the really good stuff has me using it a lot.
