^ if you feel "significantly better" after 48 hours, I question your habit
Hmm, I dont know what to say, maybe your lack of IV experience made things different. At 48 it's usually the worse part of my detox. It's peak. Days 2-4 are hellish. Ill shit liquid til day 6 or 8. That's a several year IV habit though.
But you're right, who knows...

I've been through both and heroin withdrawal is definitely much much worse than meth withdrawal. You are correct that the medical descriptions of it being like a "bad flu" are totally inaccurate and under-exaggerate it. More like think of the worst flu you have ever had - involving diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, constant chills/hot flashes, nose running like crazy, abdominal pains, aches and pain in every part of your body, extreme fatigue, can't get comfortable - then combine that with extreme anxiety and restlessness, wanting to stab your legs (and/or arms) because they hurt so much and are kicking around, depression so bad you feel like you'd kill yourself if only you weren't too weak to do so, self-loathing, and then add the fact that time is seeming to crawl by making it feel like it will never end, and then imagine that you know there is a drug you could take that would make you instantly feel better. If that isn't torture I don't know what is.I haven't known anyone who was addicted to heroin, but i read a few times on here people comparing heroin withdrawal to a bad flu. But i have read a lot and it seems like that heroin withdrawal is 100x times worse than a "bad" flu, but i'm not sure. On the other hand i think people underestimate how bitchy meth makes people, and how your body is aching everywhere and that sometimes you permanently damage your brain. I don't have experience with either in addiction, but since these two seem like the two biggest/worst street drugs, how would you compare them in terms of withdrawal and what sorts of different side effects do you experience that are different from one another
