What is Heroin Withdrawal Like?
Heroin and other opiate withdrawal symptoms are extremely uncomfortable, but are not likely to be fatal or lead to permanent injury. The symptoms occur because there is no longer enough opiate present to cause a pleasurable, or even a normal feeling. The symptoms usually begin four to twelve hours after the last dose. The symptoms typically reach their peak in thirty-six to seventy-two hours. Early symptoms include: - "Goose flesh"
- Hot and cold flashes
- Runny nose
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal cramps
- Muscle pain and spasm
- joint aching
- Insomnia
- Malaise ("feels like the flu")
- Yawning
- Irritability
- Sweating
The intensity of the symptoms vary directly with the dose and duration of use of the drug. These acute symptoms are usually greatly improved by the fifth day and are largely gone by seven to ten days. (This is true for heroin but may vary somewhat with other opiates such as Methadone where the symptoms tend to come on later and last longer.). This acute withdrawal is followed by a "protracted abstinence syndrome" from about week four to week ten or longer. It consists of a mild increase in blood pressure, restlessness, restless sleep, irritability, and craving for the drug. (an excerpt from schick Shadel Hospital) I think that this is only a mild version of withdrawl. Reply and describe what withdrawl is like for you. |

I can remember the first time going through withdrawl, I was running from john law and me and my olady and 2 year old jumped on a bus bound for scotts town Ohio. It took three days to get there and of course the bus was full of people who wondered what the hell is wrong with this guy. I mean I had no idea what it was going to be like.I was so sick the bus driver wanted me off the bus in Chicago, I went to the nearest hospital on they hooked me up with the methadone till I got to where I was going. I can only say that I couldnt sleep, couldnt stop thinking about all the dope I once had. You know whats the bitch of it all. After coming back to oregon and doing my time I was released to do it all over again and again. Here I am working on getting off a double. Fucking A when does it end. |

When the heroin is no longer coating your nerves with their magical warmth & your natural body chemistry no longer produces its endorphins then you're left with "RAW NERVES" being exposed to the full force of opiate withdrawl... --only time will heal that. the good news is that it only lasts for 3 to 6 days..I'm glad I'm not in that place today...by the way Doogie, the active insanity of addiction ends at a different time for each of us--some end after a few months, some after 10 years, some end 6ft. under, some never end (or so it seems.....) |

I se to call that sexual thing ' that annoying horniness' and it caught on. Once a friend had her little daughter standing on her lap and she said "Kate, get your foot out of my crotch" and said to me " I have that annoying horniness." Masturbating used to relax my muscles for about 15 minutes and then it was back to the stretchies. No matter how hard you stretched it didn't matter, my legs would cramp up and involunitarily spasm-hence the word "kicking", or so I have heard. I never had the runs like my friend, but I used to sneeze until I had a sore throat, running eyes and nose, muscle cramps, visual problems, confusion, sweats, chills, heart palpitations and if there was an apple in the kitchen it smelled as if there was a bushel of bad apples in the room. After two days of no sleep, my body being ravaged by withdrawl I would have a hard time walking and yet moving was the only way I could survive kicking. Getting into a bath caused huge goosebumps and getting out was worse. I have kicked cold too many times, kicked in detox with Klonidine patches and tranquilizers, useless-I left. I have kicked with methadone, but they didn't keep me on long enough so I left 2x. I was a snowbird, headed for the detox facilities when the snow flew. I have been on methadone for 13 or 14 years and don't know if I will ever get off it, certainly not know as I have only just begin intense therapy that I have thoroughly invested myself in-I wasn't ready before. This is a damn book. A aka Deb |

| I can deal with everything except the fucking crawling crap. The best decription I have found is on this thread in the beginning, the electric eels. I think that describes it the best. Last night I was practically doing head stands on my bed. I even tried to "out wit" the eels. I said, I am gonna beat them, I am not gonna kick, rub my legs back and forth, roll over, change postitions, move, anything. I will outlast them, I am strong I can do it. So I proceeded to out wit them, out last them. Well here is what I found, they come in cycles. After holding out for about 20 seconds, they would reach a peak and then subside. I held out for about 5 cycles. The eels were fucking with me, cuz each time they got more intense. They were plotting against me, and they won. My defeat ended with me moaning and the body writhing begging to get comfortable just for one minutes peace. |
