Why don't I seem to get real heroin withdrawals?

So I've been taking heroin for a year now, on and off. It seems that no matter how long I go, I don't get the real heroin withdrawals. The longest I've gone is daily use for just over five months, spending £50 a day on it, and it's definitely heroin - I get the usual high - but the withdrawals don't seem a tenth as bad as what others go through. My only symptom is a physical uncomfortable feeling that gets steadily more intense, like my body is wracked with waves of discomfort, like I want to jump out of my skin, that yeah feels horrible and I get depression but that's it. I can sleep normally (I actually sleep a lot more during withdrawals because I don't want to be awake), I can eat normally, I don't have RLS, or hot and cold flushes, or the sweats, or diarrhea, or anything. Am I an exception or is it because I haven't been taking it long enough? What gives here?

I think you're the exception. Count yourself lucky.

Btw, they don't like price talk on Bluelight, so I'd remove the £ if I were you ;)

Safe.
 
Bro u really are lucky. I started with drawls after only 1 months of daily use. Now im on 5-6 years....
 
I started pain killers at 16 yeard of age which went to fentanyl use im 24 now and I had 1 week of shitty WD you're lucky
 
Your body chemistry is probably just such that you don't get severe WD symptoms. Simple as that...

The time necessary for WD symptoms to emerge and also the severity of said WD symptoms varies from individual to individual.
 
Anyone on this thread from az?

I hope you're not trying to score... Your welcome to check out NASADD for info on the scene in your area but let it be known that sourcing won't be tolerated and chances are you will be reported if you try asking members for sources. Not sure what your intentions are but I'm just throwing that out there.
 
I took me at least a couple years, more maybe, of pretty regular abuse before I started to get serious WDs. At first, I just started getting RLS (which, tbh is probably the worst symptom IMO), but later I developed full symptoms/sickness. Now, I can go a whole month clean, then use a single gram over a day or two, and spend the next 3-4 days in full WD. They just sort of build and build. Hopefully your an exception forever, but if you stay on the path, you'll probably eventually get there and once you do, there's no going back.

Wow, that's really disheartening. Maybe you could try a course of some kind of NMDA antagonist as they're meant to wipe the receptors' memory and put your tolerance back to near zero. Some places offer subcutaneous ketamine infusions for depression. I wonder if it would work...
