    The best way to describe opiate/heroin withdrawal is it feels like the exact opposite of the opiate high in every way, when ur high u feel good, ur comfortable, u can sleep like a baby, and u cant shit...withdrawal u feel like shit, everything is uncomfortable, ur cold and hot at the same time, u cant sleep, and ur puking and shitting every two seconds

  • @WizLaudan73
    @WizLaudan73 7 років тому +5

    It's like the most unbearable thing u can go through. The agitation in your limbs is absolutely horrendous. you yawn so often it makes u puke. u can feel hot and cold at the same time. The sweats are really bad. The symptoms come in waves but never worse than when you've just woken up. If you can sleep at all that is.

    Our bodies have natural opioid (endorphins, enkephalin, etc). When a person gets injured, the body releases these natural opioids to suppress that pain; however, our body can only suppress to a certain extent. Now imagine a person taking in an opioid when there is no injury/pain. The body receives a dose of pain suppressant when everything is normal, and after a while the brain sets the pain threshold at this point. Now, when the opioid is pulled the body feels tremendous pain. It's pharmacology

    Hey I'm a 26 year old female and have been abusing opiates since I was 18 (on a regular basis.) I have been in 5 treatment centers, 4 sober livings, numerous detoxes and tons and tons of aa and outpatient programs. I recently had over a year clean and just decided to use "just one last time" about 3 months ago. I am on day 2 of detox. Even with subs I haven't slept a wink. I know this will pass as I have done it more times than I can even count. I hope this ends soon. I really do hate the person I become on heroin. I was so free when I was clean.. Just seems so distant. Blah.

      I'm on day two using subs (bought a few off someone to get over the rough few days) it's way better than cold turkey, which I tried 3 days ago and iv'e done it cold before, with success. Anything to ease the W/D go for it, if you can find some benzos they can help w/ sleep look into phenibut it's legal w/o a Rx, they give it to Russian Astronauts works like valium, just don't take too much. It can give a nasty hangover.

    • @ValarMorghulis...
      @ValarMorghulis... 10 років тому

      Andrew Garrett Just get on a suboxone program bro, I'm serious. You're most likely going to use again. Opiates are too... I don't even know the word, but you know what I mean. There's no use risking your life when you can just have a prescribed med that ain't gonna get you high, it'll keep you absolutely content and normal, and you'll be able to live again - without the risk of dying. Ceiling effect - you can put 30 strips in your mouth and only 4 of the 8mg films/pills are going to "work." 32mg is all you can take, if you take 128mg... You just wasted tons of Suboxone for no reason, it'll do nothing.. If you're gonna keep using, find a good dealer online and order a big ass load of quality Kratom for the back burner if your Sub/Pill/Dope dealer aren't available (or your outta cash). Kratom is an opiate agonist. Tastes like shit but it's whatever, don't snort it lol, brew it into a tea WITH actual tea, cool it down add lemon and you have bitter tasting iced tea that's gonna take away w/d and/or even give you a good buzz depending on your tolerance.... Not trying to get you to use! Best bet = go get on a sub program bro... wish you the best!

      They helped me get through a rough few days, that was it. I've been off opiate for a few months now. I like the state where I live has med. cannabis which helps me "Big Time"w/ PTSD and chronic spine pain a long w/ meditation and talk therapy. I have a great therapist, that makes a big difference to have someone to trust and be able to talk too about anything and everything, "Life" is worth living now. I used to hate waking up in the morning. Now I'm love'n every minute!!! Peace bro

Im not stealing,draining bank account,etc. got clean for 2 years and went right back. I know I can't stay clean,just a chronic relapses. Get on a methadone or suboxone program and don't go sky high on dose and get on with your life and get busy and don't use on top of it.

    It's really hard to put into words what it's like to go through a severe withdrawal.. of course there is cravings but also the feeling where you just can't get comfortable in your body and your either sweating and then a minute later you're freezing cold..
    You're dealing with terrible nausea and diarrhea.. headache your body aches all over you don't even have the energy to stand up.. just going to the bathroom is exhausting it's a million times worse than a bad flu.. and that's just what's going on with your body.. and the mental side effect as you're in a deep dark depression you feel like you're never going to be able to crawl out of it..
    Plus your emotions are all over the place you will cry out in agony and pain cuz you feel like your body is just giving up on you.. and so much countless other things.. like I was saying it's hard to put into words how utterly awful it is. I wouldn't wish that in anybody,..So
    Anyone dealing with it right now.. I'm so sorry and it's going to suck for what feels like forever but I promise you'll going to start feeling better soon.. just take it hour by hour a day by day..

But if its there i need to go for it coz why not. And i kinda starting hating it. I work pay taxes and not a parasite on society and been saying that its same as if someone drank a beer.

    The restless legs, cold sweats and the total inability to sleep are the worst symptoms for me at least. Muscle relaxants help a little bit with the legs but I find over the counter sleeping pills totally useless when going through withdrawal. I could take a shit load and still get no sleep. The nausea sucks but can be handled pretty well with gravol. The thing is getting all that shit in time cause you're not gonna want to go anywhere.

      That’s the brutal aspect of dope. They change your brain chemistry so that five measly bags can get you re-addicted even after months clean. I’ve been clean over a year and I know it still wouldn’t take much to put me in withdrawals all over again. I’m taking an IT course now and working two jobs. Knowing I can’t afford to start using again is enough for me to fly straight. Best of luck to you as well.

  • @stevekennyufc
    @stevekennyufc Рік тому +1

    Does this withdrawal occur every time after using, or is it something that happens after you have been using for several days/weeks and then abruptly stop? Sounds like a nightmare. Also, how long does that withdrawal period last?
    That feeling of wanting to crawl out of your skin and feeling hot, sweaty, and cold along with vomiting…. Sounds like a method of actual torture.
    After hearing this, I find it difficult to fathom that heroin is so widely used.

    I'm currently taking suboxone. Getting it off the street. Oddly enough, it was the first and only opioid I've ever used. It's been about 4 years now, daily, and the week I ran out....utter misery. This video sums it up to a T. The worst part, by far, are the RLS aches that prevent you from sleeping at ALL no matter how tired you are. Trying to ween down to nothing at the moment. Suboxone WDs are far more intense than I realized. Probably due to it's long half-life and high affinity to receptors.

Getting high on not being high LOL. Is the real deal. To be happy without any influence outside of your own thoughts..amazing. 16 years. Just boring old me and it's great. You can make it but please seek help. There are more people who understand than you know but the drug will tell you. I don't need help. Screw them. No. Your getting screwed and poisoned throughout your body. You can do it. No saint....here. I was a big timer. I now wonder..how the hell did I ever let myself get there? I wish you the best. Ask for help. Let them and agree to be locked up, basically. I had to be isolated and restrained willingly for the first week. It was hell but it got me to a manageable point that could be worked on from there. I would rather eat glass than ever go near any type of drug at this point. Your not evil...your sick and you need to admit it and say...I can't defeat this on my own....I tried and failed. Drugs mask the real you and limit the person you are and can be. I suppose I was masking my feelings as well. When your stoned you don't need to be anything and it makes it easy to escape and not face reality. Not be anything but..stoned. Go for it!!!

      Well it's not super physical but for a couple weeks I would sweat a lot, couldn't sleep even with sleep aids, appetite was shit. Then for a few months after I just felt down because I lacked the artificial high that i had obtained so readily. I used to have mdma binges and would smoke huge amounts of weed to stop the come down. The first time doing E was the best feeling in my entire life
      At the end, I've learned life is better lived without knowing these incredible sensations exist. When I'm on my way out, I'd love to become a druggie again though...

    It's unbelievable to me that young people today are still using heroin. Heroin was real big in the 60's and I was in high school back then. Most of my friends are dead from OD's or Aids .

    I have had make it through. It is the worst thing ever. Exactly like the guys prescribe. I am very scared... i try to reduce the dosis of methadone but now and again i travel 1000 km to go and get it. One small part of me still WANTS IT. 😢
    I do not know how it is going to end but i am not doing it alone and suddenly again. I would rather die.
    When, when, have i had enough of this shitty addiction?
    I wake up every morning worrying about it.

    Talking to him while he is high is not worth it. The addiction consumes you. Greg and Mike said they had to come to the realization themselves and had to want to stop themselves. No one else could want it for them. When they were going through withdrawal, though, they were more open to listening. No matter what, do not blame yourself for your dad's addiction. It is not your fault.

      crobc1 I quite admire your intellect, and scientific/ medical view. However, without the in depth knowledge of "dopamine levels", "neuro transmitters", "serotonin receptors" etc., I will say like I told my doctor who argued it was a matter of will power, and knowledge- I've been a drug addict way before you became a doctor. So with all the knowledge, and degrees, and such, unless you lived it and didn't just read "theory" and "studies", but actually felt the excruciating torment and agony of crawling skin, goose flesh, hot flashes and cold sweat at the same time, every joint hurting like the worst toothache, stomach in knots while not having control of your bowels at the same time, vomiting yellow vile, mind boggling unexplainable, inexplicable wrestless anxiety from your thighs down and from your elbows to your fingertips, chest pounding, if laying down anxiety makes you scream, if you stand up to move around you get out of breath, so, so, so exhausted, yet going through this suffering day, and night and day and night for about a month- then dealing with insomnia and depression, feeling weak, drained, and hurting another ten days. I've not only experienced that countless times, being that I started using drugs at age ten, I abused EVERY single substance under the sun. Coke, snorted, freebased, rocked up, injected, meth, speedball(coke and heroin), goofball(coke,heroin,meth,and a teaspoon of whisky all injected), yeah, I'm not a scholar with degrees, so I won't tell a doctor I know his world, but unless you experienced opiate withdrawal, don't tell me you know my world.

    I honestly don't believe heroin withdrawal or any form of withdrawal from drugs, be they cigarettes alcohol or any other thing involves physical pain - ask a heroin addict where exactly is the pain? see what the response is for yourself. It is 99.9% mental. We are a brainwashed society in these terms being absolutely convinced that its this awful thing that I can "never give up" it's embedded mentally and so is the untruth that there is real pain involved - I understand your conviction on this

    which is not that bad and will last for a very short period - the main problem is that you think and believe you get something from it which is the biggest illusion of all, but even though you realise it's an illusion it comforts you to ignore the truth which is what any kind of addict will do - and what I did be they on cigarettes or heroin. you should get a book by alan carr - the only way to stop smoking - read it, even if you never stop doing drugs you have nothing to lose, works f all drugs

  • @calvancandy

    Oh there is withdrawal but due to perceptions and beliefs of how powerful the withdrawal is it's nearly or purely a mental situation guided by fear which leads to panic and then the physical outcomes - I know it's a sweeping statement to make it is true nonetheless and moreover, very difficult to believe such is the influence of almost everyone in society. I'm sure there is withdrawals but how severe are they really? it's more that the drug is a friend to that person a very close friend I think

    Yes, I think they know what they are talking about and they suffered. "Every pleasure has it's edge of pain, now pay for your ticket and don't complain". Still, only their withdrawel symptoms. Stealing, lies, missed work or none, car crashes, parents and friends and loved ones suffer. All how dope made them suffer, nothing about how dope made innocent people suffer. Lucky they still got their looks, and teeth too. Jail, lawyers, criminal record. Overdose, sex don't work, only about how they felt

    Some neighborhoods are so bad with dope that in order to quit one has to move. Lose your friends, your job, move 100 miles away and don't look back. Withdrawel is just the tip of the iceberg. These kids got lucky, they got to spank themselves for being dumdum doodoo heads. One persistent friend/pusher and they wouldn't be talking about the past. Dope would be the present and future. Actually they should be slightly applauded for admiting their mistake. I wouldn't admit, I never did the shit.

  • @sarakahfagi4502

    No. You could convince yourself that thw withdrawls feel like an orgasm and it wouldn't make any difference.
    Unless you have been through it you cannot begin to understand what it feels like.
    It doesn't matter how much you have read on the subject, or who you have spoken to about it.
    Obviously, you haven't been through it, or you wouldn't be saying that.
    Also, No one dies from heroin "abuse", think you have mistaken the word abuse for overdose.
    You don't know what you're talking about

    Are you serious? Pain in withdrawal is a very real thing, especially hard drugs like opiates and benzos. Benzo and alcohol withdrawal can and will kill you if you have a big enough habit, you don't think seizures are painful? Then you must of never experienced one, also opiate withdrawal fucking sucks, I've had it so bad where it felt like my legs were breaking, but I'd rather take the physical over the mental part any day.
