Am I addicted to opiates?

About six months ago I'd use an opiate, say 15 mgs of hydrocodone, every two weeks or so, then about 3 months later I started doing around 15-20 mg Hydro/oxycodone once a week. 2 months ago I started doing opiates like twice- three times a week, still 20 mg oxycodone.
This month I was doing them about 3-4 times a week. A week and a half ago I got a half gram of very good heroin, and I started snorting either that, or eating 30-40 mg oxycodone almost every day.
Today I was doing some focalin with some friends, as its my last day home before I go away to college, and about 6 hours after I did it, I started to comedown. I've experienced Dexmethylphenidate comedowns before, but this time I did quite a bit more than I usually do, and it was unusually horrible.
The comedown was so fuckin bad. I felt anxious, uneasy, nauseous, uncomfortable, sore, and just overall sad. So I decided to blow a line of heroin to calm me down, and within a few minutes I felt fantastic. Like the comedown stopped the second the heroin kicked in.
Does it sound like I am physically addicted? if so this is horrible fucking timing, I'm moving into my college dorm tomorrow and I have to go to a ton of stupid ceremonies and welcoming things; Not to mention I've gotta meet lots of new people, and I'm always much more comfortable making friends on opiates, then not, so I was planning on poppin an oxy tomorrow, which I fear will only make me more physically addicted, and withdrawal that much worse.

Dude, get your shit together. Being struck out on opiates during freshman year or addicted sounds horrible. College offers opportunity--both good and bad. Don't let that shit hold you back.

If you have to actually ask if you're addicted, it's a pretty safe bet you are. People who are not addicted to something, generally don't have to question whether they are or aren't.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Sounds like you're half-way there, at least. Stop now while you still can.

Them's the breaks with opiates. Once you like them, the ball is already rolling down hill. If you don't want to live as an addict, the sooner you stop, the easier it'll be. At my worst, I was taking 20-30 10/325 hydros a day. It's amazing I didn't damage my liver.

The drugs being out of your system is what causes the withdrawal, not what ends it. That said, your average withdrawal won't last more than 3-7 days.

Well I didn't do any opiates yesterday; just felt really tired on move in day, fell asleep at 7 and missed all the ceremonies and after parties. Felt much better after I woke up today
So no signs of physical dependence I think I'm in the clear

Aren't you the guy who also ordered like a 3 year supply of etizolam? Dude I mean this in the nicest way possible, quit fucking doing drugs before you fuck yourself. At least take a break from benzos and opiates, nothing will ruin your life faster than that combo.

Yeah IMO if you have to ask, you are probably addicted to them. God im craving some fucking opiates after reading this lol.
Anyway, lay off them. After reading the OP i have no doubt in my mind that you are addicted, or are very, very close and will be addicted in no time if you keep it up.

QFT.
OP, you're clearly in the midst of a downward spiral that you can get out of before it gets unmanageable. If I were you, I'd quit opiates or at least cut down to a couple times a year, and stick with kratom if you want to use an opioid more regularly. Krat dependence is much more manageable and easier to balance with school than any serious opiate habit. No one wants to see you end up dead from an overdose during your first semester of college, like what happened to my best friend last year. Best of luck OP

Don't even bother with painkillers anymore. The hassle of addiction and withdrawal makes it not worth it. I've been down this road and let me tell you, you're not missing out on anything. It's a waste of time and maintaining an addiction like that involves more work than you'd think it would. Quit while you're ahead.

If you could get through a day without opiates, and were able to sleep, then no you're not addicted.
I struggled with opiate (mainly heroin) addiction for years, when I got to my worst point sleeping without a fix was out of the question because of the pain in my body and restless legs. I couldn't get through a day without opiates unless I had suboxone or methadone.
You don't want that, trust me. But if you go there, I hope you're safe.

I felt shitty most of the day today, but nothing unmanageable. Probably just me getting over a slight mental addiction.
Oh yea and Zombie I got rid of the etiz a long time ago.
