Hello. You're going to have top be a little patient and prepare your mind and body for another day or 2 of discomfort before the WD gradually subside. After 6 weeks, I wouldn't think the WD's will be too severe or protracted.  I know when youre in the middle of WD's it is difficult to accept the advice and experience of others and it is common to feel defeated and alone but try to remember we have all been there and can empathise with your current predicament.

I would encourage you to try and be proactive about your detox and try and source some of the medications/supplements recommended in the thomas recipe. Drink lots of fluids. Eat dry biscuits, unbuttered toast and/or soup when you can. OTC and prescribed meds can make a huge difference to the severity of WD symptoms. I often used paracetamol (acetaminophen/tylenol) for the fever, quinidine (anti-malarial) for the muscle cramps, diastop (or similar medication) for the diarrhea, and camomile or (similar sophorific) for sleep. Honestly, be prepared for little sleep but try and remember that it is only short term.

All the best Jeremy. Recovered Addict.

I have not withdrawn from heroin but i have read about it and seen first hand others go thru it and I know it has a very high relapse rate.  You made it 24 hours.  You do not want to go back thru the first 24 hours again.  Keep thinking about the reasons you stopped in the first place.  Good for you to stop after 6 weeks.  It could have been so much worse.  What is the most you were using per day?It is best if you have someone to take care of you during your withdrawal.  Keep posting on how you are ding.  We will all help you get thru this.

Hi Misha,I know that you are hurting right now just hang in there and try to watch a movie or something that will kill a couple of hours.I wouldn't do anything much more ambitious than that though.How much were you using at the end of the use?2 bags 3?

You can hang on. You have 24 hours of choosing you and not the drugs and you know picking up will ease the physical pain but it will never take away the mental, emotional and soul pain. I don't have experience taking heroin but I'm a drug addict like everyone here and we use for a reason.
Please hang on!!!
