Imodium was always a life saver for me. It helps so much with the stomach issues. I used to go through so much Imodium, it was ridiculous.

I'll echo the hot showers, I used to just sit on the bottom of the shower. Masturbation will help for some quick relief too. It would be the only time I'd be able to sleep for a minute.

Distractions are key too, of course. I couldn't focus on reading and I shook too badly to do any kind of art so I'd just listen to music or rot on in the internet, binge watch TV. It's funny because whenever someone mentions a TV show, I usually only know of it because of past cold turkey WD.

I've tried doing other drugs to make my WDs more bearable but I think just taking OTC meds is the best bet. Drinking was just a terrible idea. Uppers made me want to die even more after the come down. My go to were benzos, especially during my etizolam phase, but there'd be times I'd wind up being way too impulsive and making some poor choices aka buying more dope, ruining all of the progress I'd already made.

I know it's tempting to drink coffee or consume caffeine because of the lack of energy but I'd avoid it at all costs in the beginning, at least. Benadryl and anything with anti-histamine qualities used to make my restless legs so much worse too.

Hey, this gives you some extra Shroomery time to take your mind off of things! & just think, soon you'll wake up and feel human again without having to put something into your body. What a beautiful thing that most people take for granted.


edited to add:  Logical makes a good point. Light exercise helped too. When I could manage it, taking walks would feel impossible at first but after awhile of walking, I would start to feel so much better.

Got a stack of vitamins, like 12 dif bottles, eating pretty good. I only ever eat home made food, mince my own meat etc....

Totally agree about moving if possible, nothing better for leg cramps like some stretches and light exercise.

Given the tiny amount of H I have had in the last 6 days, amazed I am not worse, maybe the pregab is amiracle cure, got sneezes etc, yawns, but body ok.

Half the meds I am using cause constipation, so that's a plus, no Immmodium needed for last 3 days, may need laxative during a kick, new one to me!

Thanks, I'm trying. ANY ADVICE to help with WDs would be amazing, thanks guys/girls/other.




Yeah the only advice is take a few recommended doses of loperamide in the first days if the shit are really bad, but sounds like that isn't an issue.  I mean I would say get into an outpatient rehab or just have something to do with your days where you're not stuck alone in your own head and can have some sort of healthy input, and stick with it, then get a good job when you feel better.

If you just sit around left to your own devices you will just fail and fail again.  You need to get a life.

I have a few serious problems beyond and far pre-dating any opiate use. I wish I was able to have a place of my own to live, rent etc here is fucking INSANE in my area, I'd have to be a doctor or something to get anything that wasn't inhabited by junkies before me. I have found works/rigs etc in 3 places I have been forced to live.

I agreee tho, I should be able to get some stufff to do to keep me occupied, I am already engaged with the local  drug support facility, but I have been for 6 years now.

I dunno, if I had ANY veins left maybe I'd carrry on using. Who really knows a junkie's mind? I feel like I know every junkie personally, I also feel like an island within an island and never hung out with any of them, hece the no friends in world. Life can have it's way with yuor pride, son.

gawd why is depression an eerily similar feeling to love. I can always sense when both are coming. I can always tell when im going to fall stupidly in love with a girl or sinking into depression. Its just that lingering feeling in the back of your head that slowly gets stronger no matter how much you fight it. Seems like lately someone completely sucked the fun out of life. Where as two months ago I was as happy as larry. Now everything is just making me anxious. Nothing more I hate than having a feeling grow inside of me and there nothing you can do about it :frown:

Id like to throw in that enough gabapentin with no tolerance to it, reduced 90% of all withdrawl symptoms.

Dont develop a dependence to gabapentin and if you dont need them then hoard them because theyre lifesavers.

I'm at 5 years or so off heroin. 

For everyone in this thread I want to tell you all that you are loved, are stronger then you think, and people are proud of you even if you fail and relapse.  Stick to it.  It's worth it.

Gabapentin is really good for helping with withdrawal, and if you see a doctor and tell them straight up your trying to get off the junk and struggling they will usually prescribe it to you.  Definitely be careful as someone else said about trading one thing for another however.  Of course a gabapentin addiction is nowhere near as dangerous as heroin, but the high from a lot of it is enjoyable, at least for me so stay focused.

Think a doctor would prescribe me gabapentin if I said I was trying to quit heroin? I've been debating finding a suboxone doctor or something..

Yes but most likely not until you start some other form of treatment.  I was able to get a doc to prescribe it to me when my painkiller addiction had started, before I got into heroin and after I had already quit using the painkillers and was having after effects of nerve issues and he knew I was too broke to do much else.

Suboxone is definitely a far better route to go to get off the junk.  You can get off it much quicker, it will block you from getting high while on it, and a treatment program will give you a support network to lean on.

The gabapentin is more for after you're already off the opiates, but can help with withdrawal as well.
