What Does Heroin Withdrawal Feel Like? | The Misery Of Being Dopesick

- Heroin withdrawal was one of the worst experiences I've ever gone through and I've gone through it multiple times including twice in jail.
The symptoms are similar to the flu except ten times worse. They last longer, and there is a level of depression and anxiety to heroin withdrawal that makes the flu seem like a walk in the park. Every cell in my body was in pain and I had fluids coming out of places I didn't think were possible.
It is very rare to die from heroin detox but the person going through it sure feels like they're going to die. That's why relapse is so prevalent during withdrawal. The user knows that one bag will get rid of all their symptoms instantly, but when that bag wears off they'll be back at square one.

Comparing opiate withdrawal to the flu is like comparing a BB Gun to a 12 gauge shotgun.
I've always told people that I heard compare opiate w/d to the flu that not only is it the absolute worst, most indescribably horrible version of the flu, it's a flu that you can be over with just ONE SHORT PHONE CALL. A two min call to yr dealer, a few min wait for delivery, and BOOM! Your well and rockin' in the free world once again.. the flu is GONE, as if you'd never been sick at all. Except obviously your not ok, and feeling this kind of "well" just means you've lost to the dope yet again. And if you're ever going to be free from this addiction (as free as we can get, that is) all this short surrender means is tomorrow you get to wake up and "choose" that brutal, soul-destroying flu one more time and pray this time you find the strength to last the horrific sickness out. Because if you can't dig deep enough to find that strength it's not ever a matter of "IF" it kills you and devastates your loved ones, it's always a matter of "WHEN" it kills you. I'm praying for all of us this morning. Love and hugs, yall 🥰😘
Yes!!
Absolutely 💯
True, but the title at least said x10 times, so thats legit
@captainmaxwell5017 - Opiate withdrawal is torture. It is absolutely brutal, horrific, torture.
I've never heard of anyone who was able to sleep during withdrawal. What a Godsend for you! I'm seriously jealous.
Seriously.. that’s like the worst part for me. If I get ANY sleep, it’s like 5 minutes of super light sleep, with awful vivid dreams, and I wake up with drool all over and just full of anxiety. I wouldn’t wish it on anybody.
Yea it wasent great sleep and not all the time but I’m a sleeper lol. Even now I sleep more than average. Idk just was able to to some extent.
Kratom is the best. U will sleep like a baby
Zanx.... thats makes me sleep for days
xanax is god withdrawal drug
Skin crawls, legs so restless you just wanna pop your bones out through your heels, runny nose, stomach cramps, constantly yawning, insomnia. If you can overcome opiate withdrawal, your way stronger than you ever thought you were
It was brutal
I’m 2 weeks sober from benzodiazepines and fentanyl I’m very surprised I’m not even dead after taking fake pills it’s not worth it all anymore. I nearly cried when I discovered I was taking fentanyl instead of percs.
The insomnia was the worst part for me. In one week. I possibly slept the equivalent of one day.
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to Crack. Spent my whole life fighting Crack addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my girlfriend recommend me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, Crack, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.benfungi.Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
It’s as if… a demon has pulled out your soul from your chest, leaving you alone with an empty shell of horrible suffering.
Wow...thats so true. Sad but true.😢
This is probably the most accurate description of withdrawals I've ever heard
This is the best descriptions of heroin withdrawal that I've seen! One thing I notice that no one ever mentions, is that time CRAWLS when you're going through withdrawal, and even beyond that period. So that makes it even worse, because as horrible as you're feeling, it seems to last forever. Especially with the lack of sleep and uncomfort, each day feels like three days. When you're using the days, weeks and months just fly by. When you quit, time crawls for the first month or two.
I just abused for 3 months straight. It flew by like ya said. . Day 2 withdrawal. Feels like a month has gone by. It's hell, I had nausea and vomiting this whole time..I need an i.v because I'm so dehydrated.
@@brettwilson7680 Yeah bro, I feel ya. I just went thru i recently and I'm about to go through it again (since I had a bit of a relapse). How sre you feeling today?
@@TypeSly feeling a bit better. I had a sublocade shot on Monday, but I still had bad withdrawals mon-wed. Horrible, hellish stomach cramps and nausea. Monday I literally sat in front of toilet dry heaving my intestines out for 16 hours. Tuesday a bit of relief with only 8 hours of that. Then on Wednesday I tried to eat a little something, boy was that a mistake, another 16 hours straight of the nausea and cramps. Had to go in to get i.v. Im sick of suffering through this, I can't believe I relapse. I really can't put myself through this again,not gets harder each time. How are you doing???
This idiot has never gone through withdrawal. He's telling a story. Everything he said sounds like he read it in a high school anti drug book
@@brettwilson7680
Smoke weed.
Opiate withdrawal is torture. That is not hyperbole. It is brutal, horrific pain.
Agree ,the most painful thing I've experienced and I've broken bones that is better because you can feel better after a day or two with pain killers !
I did heroin for 26 years heroin is 12 days acute... methadone 45 days acute ..... you cannot reach homeostasis.. your natural enkephalinase (endogenous) your natural pain your body controlled before heroin like the pain fromnyour heart hitting your chest .. normal people with endogenous opiates they dont feel that... in acute withdrawal you feel that..
My friends always ask me to describe the pain because I say it’s the worst feeling ever. And most people think the worst feeling the body can experience is pain. I ask them, would you rather have me kick you in the balls or be trapped in a closed coffin for 3 days with 500 ants and spiders and mosquitos and snakes? Obviously they say kick me in the balls. I say why? It hurts worse. Then they kind of understand. “Torture” is the best term to describe opioid/opiate withdrawal. And the worst torture lasts for 3-7 days. You can’t explain withdrawal to someone who hasn’t experienced it. They’ll never understand. And it’s not their fault. No one can until they experience it themselves. Someone who had experienced human torture can relate to the experience in terms of understanding the length of time of discomfort being a huge factor. The worst experience the human body can have depends on the length of the experience. Would you rather have 100 bug bites for an hour or 1 bug bite for the rest of your life? I’d take 100 for an hour. Calculating pain mathematically is intensity x duration. 100 pain x 1 hour is 100. 20 pain for 7 days is 3360. The math explanation and the torture explanation is the best way to try and make someone else understand. For women I say would you rather have the worst part of your child labor for 5 minutes or a less painful child birth that lasts for 16 hours? A rape victim. Which is worse a really painful rape for 2 minutes or a semi painful rape for 9 hours? Using time to relate to withdrawal is the only way. If opioid withdrawals only lasted an hour. That would be awesome.
It is literally the worst feeling the human body is capable of experiencing. If there is a hell, severe opiate withdrawal is without a doubt what it feels like. People just don't understand unless they've been there.
There is a place that all unrepentant addicts go if they die in that state that would make you wish to live eternally with just with drawls. In hell for the first time one realizes what it is like to not have God...anywhere. You see here on earth we actually can't feel to the fullest. This is the dream, heaven and hell are the reality. There you can see fully, smell fully, hear fully, feel to the fullest. Because in the flesh we are in a fallen state. In the spirit you are in your truest state and you can burn in fire and not die. Your mind and my mind cannot comprehend the torture. Imagine the desperation at first realizing that there is a hell and you are in it. My brother did just that 3 years ago. As a heroin addict he killed himself with Fentanyl. Then he found out what true pain is.
I can't believe you said you could sleep 20 hours. I couldn't sleep for 20 seconds.
Time is the enemy of the withdrawal stage
The withdrawals is mental and physical pains. You will wish that it is just the flu. Your mind goes crazy and you will feel things you've never felt before to the point of you just wishing you were dead, it's absolutely Horrible horrible.
The body aches is the worst . Literally every bone feels sore.
anyone else that could never stop yawning any time they were in withdrawal? to me that was one of the worst parts like i just could not stop even if i was laying down. like my body couldn’t get enough oxygen
Yes 💯 yawning is a major symptom...I get the yawns like nuts!
Me too but with tramadol. It's awful
Yes! It sucks. You can't even finish a damn sentence without yawning.
@@StravosdI absolutely hate that, and the eyes tearing too, and oh the restlessness
Not to sound corny, but clean livin' is really the only way to live if you want to be happy and healthy
I couldn't help but laugh when he was talking about his legs kicking.. Last time I was detoxing I was skimming through some books I'd gotten from the library to (hopefully) provide a bit of distraction. One book had a chapter on early opiate addiction; many people back in the day were using opium. When users were thrashing and kicking their legs all over their beds with the restless leg syndrome the old expression, "kicking the habit" was coined. Random trivia and useless silliness I know lol🤷♀️😀.
Thx for thst I didn’t k ow where they came from
Yes, an overdose may hurt you Not taking meth with antidepressants or opioids may pose a risk of taking a stimulant with a depressant
@heathertogers3411 You're the only other person besides me on CZcams who has mentioned the origin of "Kicking".
I gave 22 years of my life to junk/pills/blow, and us old heads called what they call Restless Leg Syndrome today we called "jimmy legs"..."Ohh I got the jimmy legs, baby, I think there's some pinkies (10mg. Roxicodone) in a Robitussin box in the cabinet under the fish tank..." Of course there weren't...and you gotta make the decision: Do I spend energy I don't have on a mission that I KNOW will fail?" The answer is YES. Desperate times and all. 98.75% of the time the search nets nothing but you found a book you'd thought you lost (Permanent Midnight by Jerry Stahl and that's the LAST thing you want to read right now) and maybe you sit on the floor and cry some. However, 1.25% of the time, a miracle occurs-- you shine the shitty light of your phone under the bed and amid the dust bunnies and some Tootsie Pop wrappers that have fallen behind the headboard (Tootsie Pops is a virtual FOOD GROUP when you are sick...at least they stay down. When you check out the candy aisle at the grocery store, take a look at the Tootsie Pops. If you've caught it before the kid squares the shelves, you might see bags tossed onto other candies, like a nocturnal creature has been foraging. This is almost always an addict who needs the bag to have the right number of certain flavors...Grape, Cherry and Orange are mine, but I always put the bags in a somewhat acceptable way, but I've been at a store where I nudge my (always sober, who stuck by me all the way) wife and say "Check it out" and she sees and says, "The poor thing...I hope he gets relief." Can't it be a "she", I think.
Sorry, I always blather on too long. All the best and Be Well.
You learn something new everyday !👍
I didn't know that!
Heres to your sobriety my friend. Stay strong.
Thats Michael!!! appreciate that brotha!!!! Same to you my friend
Apreciate your video. It encourages myself and hopefully other people viewing this to never start doing hard drugs. If it's that horrible withdrawaling, it can't be worth it to start,no matter how good it makes a person feel,and no matter what problem(s) they may be going through.
It’s never, ever worth it.
That was my biggest fear was getting arrested and have to go through withdrawals in jail thank God I don't have to worry about that anymore
That is the absolute worst, forced withdrawal. I went through it for two weeks and all they gave me was clonidine. I didn’t sleep the whole time.
Ha! While I’ve never done street drugs I do have Lupus and RA which both are extremely painful and due to chronic diseases my Dr RX’D me 90 Percocet 10mg and 60 Lortab/Norco 7.5 mg for 8 years. I’ve worked as a Trauma Nurse in my ED for 16+ years but never once did I imagine I would ever deal with withdrawal of any sorts.
Well, after a 9 year custody battle with my sons dad (been to prison, 14 felony charges, drug charges and sexual battery x3) I knew nothing about any of his previous charges. I enlisted in the Marines and was under the impression he was deployed with the Army. His entire family told me this the entire time. Keep in my I had never dated due to my mother passing when I was 15 years old and I had to raise 3 younger siblings due to my dad being a OTR Truck driver. I worked and took care of my responsibilities.
Anyhow, I married the first guy and believed everything he told me. Thankfully, I woke up after he went crazy for 3 days straight resulting in me having my son at 6 months and being in labor at home for 23 days before my dad came over bc he hadn’t heard from me. I was flown to a larger hospital where I laid another 16 days after my water had ruptured.
He abused my son at 5 years old and I hired a attorney and followed every step I knew to protect my son. The courts drug it out and after 4 years of still fighting he would lie and say I called him and made threats even though he couldn’t even provide police with my number. I ended up with cancer after my appendix ruptured and had to have a complete hysterectomy on a Wednesday The following weekend two days later I went to get my son from school and police approached me stating I had a warrant in a neighboring city where he lived. And I went to jail after having no criminal record at all. The worst part was, due to it being a Friday the magistrate and judges had left and couldn’t set a bond. Then Monday was a holiday so I was forced to stay until Tuesday evening. It was the worst hell you can imagine. They refused to administer my pain meds even though I was only 2 days post surgery and cut hip to hip. Plus I learned what withdrawal was from the maintenance meds I had been taking for years. I ended up on life support two days after coming home my incision had gotten infected and busted opened which led to staphylococcus. I ended up suing the county which named the police and judge. Within 6 months of my filing they wanted to settle.
So be glad you didn’t go through it, I would wish it even on my ex. I felt like I was dying and at times had wandered how I could just to get some relief. It scares me to even think about.
Sorry this is so long but I wanted to give context regarding what led to my situation.
What effing hell right !!
I had to detox in jail, it sucked, but I understood I was stuck there so I kinda accepted it, it's not like on the street where you can just go cop more. And a soboxon in jail where I'm from is 200$ so that's out the window.
Those people who had to withdrawal in jail are straight-up Warriors!
The strongest human being to ever walk this Earth are those people.
Many prisoners die from opiate withdrawal every week.
@@lisazinn866 I thought you can't die from opiate withdrawal?
I mean did they really have a choice
@@weatherelectric3212 of course they had a choice either to hang themselves with their shoelace or to go through the horrible satanic withdrawals of opiates
@@weatherelectric3212 they chose life. I myself wood have hung myself because opiate withdrawal is too extreme
excellent and real video.......been there and this guy explains it well.......this lecture needs to be taught in schools and hospitals
I have to say that I am so happy for you because you conquered addiction and endured the living hell of withdrawal. Thank God!
Subscribed because your the first person that managed to accurately describe this crap. Including myself. Now i have a way to show my family what i was going through.
Thank you so much for that. That is the goal from day 1 to help explain addiction better to many people who have never comprehended it. So glad you're out of that life and doing well brotha.
Got say this is one of the best descriptions of opiate withdrawal I've seen on CZcams. I Been through this nasty shit numerous times over the past few years.
Thanks so much Darren. Its one of those things that only one of us who has been there can explain properly.
Its a hell, i know..😢
Thank you for the breakdown!
Sleep? No one I know or personal has ever slept through a heroin opiate withdrawal lucky dude
I kicked fentanyl 2 times. Completely hard-core. I never knew the human body could get that sick and not die. 2 weeks of pure pain. Insomnia, constipation, diarrhea, sneezing fits, runny eyes and runny nose, aching bones, aching muscles, profuse sweating. When I finally did sleep I was waking up drenched in sweat for about a week or more. Crazy dreams. Impossible to get comfortable in any position. Vomiting up anything I drank. Fits of anxiety would overcome me. Extreme sensitivity to smells. Absolutely brutal. Unspeakable. Takes a tough MFer to kick. I don't recommend using opiates.
This channel definitely is a life saver for many. Would touch any of that.
Jumping in out of the shower trying anything to feel better sleeping think u slept for a hour and its only been 5 minutes terrible feeling
As a 60 plus year old formerly opiod dependant female i only have 2 bits if advice for withdrawal.
1. Plan ahead, get ur habit as low as possible, get juices in the house.
2. Buy some magnesium. Take one before bed. Just fantastic for restless legs and sleep.
Thank you.
I'm starting to realize and get my dedication to stop when I see with my own eyes "drugs seller" laughing at people suffer from addiction.
The best details i've ever heard
I've just subscribed, this is a good channel
Spot on dude really good 👍
I strongly recommend getting into a methadone clinic for a short while . And whatever you do, if your an addict , don’t do anything that will get you locked up . If you get locked up your gonna suffer like crazy
Very relatable. Sadly, a been there done that experience. Good luck to those in their 1st 72 hours. God bless
Dude if i could just pass out and sleep for 15 hours i would be fine
This video is priceless!
Thankssss
Very helpful Man
restless legs and insomnia is the worst
I think the worst part is the kicking, restlessness and insomnia at the same time while attempting to sleep along with the pains in the legs.
I can live woth the physical my mental state just goes to hell anxiety out the ass suicidal thoughts going crazy etc
I'm 6 days clean from Kratom!!
Did it cold turkey this week, so brutal..
God bless the symptoms fade slowly🙏🏼
Greetings from Germany🇩🇪💪🏼
Restless legs was the absolutely worst for me. So happy to be 3 years clean now.
Good for you thats awesome 3 years you should be so proud Restless legs are BRUTALLLLLLL
What u did when are on detox ? Coz I am also planning to withdrawal
I can’t believe you could sleep while withdrawing. I couldn’t sleep a wink, for days and barely at all for weeks on end.
That's because nobody can sleep in heroin or any kind of opiate withdrawal. This dude either lying or he tried overdosing on sleeping pills or Benadryl
You probably fell asleep now and then but forgot
Excellent and very true
Thanks So much Dawn
Kind of feels like your insides want to explode but at the same time you can’t sleep or stop moving around.
Good themes ;respect!!
The withdrawal is why I stopped using Heroin
It's also the reason people can't get off of it
I just happened to stumble on your video. What truly saved me and helped me from opiate withdrawal was kratom. 4 years sober.🏋♀️
That is a narcotic. Google it.
Talking it up could never describe the actual feelings of emotional and physical pain rolled into one endless pain. It's so drawn out. I personally believe that people who do it this way are crazy. Why would you want to put yourself through all this pain. Don't slow and with all the correct neds5to ease all your pains and most important the sleep make sure you have the sleep meds all the way through this detox, good luck ☘️✌️
The stomach issues is what I hate most about withdrawal. You’re also so sensitive so smells and taste, it’s so hard to eat and drink water.
Sleeping 20 hour chunks? I didnt sleep for a month
How is that possible?
Bro jail withdrawal sounds like hell. I been a heroin addict for over 10 years and can attest for the pain. If I didn’t find kratom I would of killed my self. People please don’t try opioids. God bless all.
Stop the kratom the withadrawal? I never believe that but a few ppl told me to try
That is a narcotic. Google it.
I'm 70 and I've been through it all you've reminded me of how fucked up our lives can be but what about methadone, it's even worse. I've met people who were on 120mg of methadone and they jumped, went cold turkey I couldn't do it I'd rather die.
Don’t wish heroin withdrawal on anyone, it’s hell
Not after using it once, surely
I agree it's worse. But its like the only thing we have to compare it too.
Omg the restless leg is so fucked I’ve been clean going on 3 years in September from the blues fent and heroin thank God if I can do it anyone can do it I was a addict for 12 years STRIGHT goodluck to anyone struggling with addiction u can do it
For me opiate withdrawl caused intense diarrhea. It would pour out of my body, totally liquid and I could not control it. Feels so awful!!
Knowing about the withdrawals was enough to keep me from ever wanting to experiment with opioids.
Spent the summer of 2006 on my couch unable to eat to sleep, the crickets outside at night drove me crazy, I'd hop on my bicycle at 5am to try and do something, but pretty much nothing helped. I promised myself I'd never go through that hell again and I had several surgeries where I was prescribed hydrocodone and I took it as directed and didn't have any issues. Losing my house, going bankrupt, and hating myself isn't worth getting high.
6:21 this symptom is where the phrase kicking the habit comes from
Methadone withdrawal is even worse especially if you're used to a very high dose like 115 mg a day
Graduation stay clean ❤god bless 🙏
Opiate withdrawal, sneezing yawning restless legs. Couldn't stand for long but couldn't sit ir ly down for long either. Mind racing how to get more pills , headache brain fog sweating to feezing .Hot bath and Imodium made it less miserable but not by much
I suffer with RLS almost every night and unfortunately there is no pain relief for this and after falling poorly when I was representing England in athletics,, my new boyfriend was putting herion in my roll ups which I only started smoking at the age of 20 so I had no idea what smoking smelt like and effects but after my parents had taken me to hospital,, we found out he was putting herion in my roll ups and since coming off herion, I will always have RLS and my athletic career was ruined.. I would advise anyone never to touch herion because it can ruin you within a month.. All respect to those who have dealt with herion withdrawals.. ❤
I agree with the worst cold sweat and the the blanket part the smell ugh its horrible
In my experience. The methadone was easily 10x harder too quit. Heroin withdrawal lasts about 5, maybe 7 days. Methadone withdrawal lasts over a month
Methadone WD can last only a few days if one takes naltrexone. Start fairly high then immediately taper after 24 hours to a fairly low level.
I never got restless leg syndrome during withdrawal, I always got restless legs, arms, and back syndrome. That restlessness wasn’t only limited to the leg muscles, but also in the arms and back muscles as well. Any sedative (tylonal pm, seroquel) would make it 10x worse. In order to get some relief before I attempted to get some sleep, I had to strenuously lift weights and over work the muscles so they’d be sore and not able to be restless.
Yea I've heard that a lot. I've heard that many people get the whole body. Mine usually focused on the legs. But what you said about Seroquel and Advil pm is such a great point. For me, it was that or any sleeping pill. Rimron, trazodone anything would make it worse that's a great idea for a video.
Me too, horrible I'm going through it right now. Day 5 right now. Check out my vids. Lots of peace and love to you. X
That's the only way I've found to get maybe 10-20 minutes without it. That or jerk off. I usually take about 750-1000 milligrams of magnesium(restless legs) a bunch of naproxen(muscle aches/swelling), chase it with milk,(protein and some vitamins), smoke a bunch of weed(relaxation) and it takes the edge off slightly. Haven't tried a weighted blanket yet
Me too, it usually starts with sweats and involuntary muscle contractions in my legs and back.. like when he described the yawns getting worse and harder, it does that in my back and legs .. it's like being on a medieval rack, after someone dumped a bucket of cold water over me and left me in the cold
I don't know if you've tried other sedatives besides the couple you mentioned but I've found that even though I too generally have a negative reaction to meds like seroquel, trazadone, and others in that category, neurontin (gabapentin) has been an absolute Godsend for both my (full body!) restless leg syndrome and my insomnia. I can't say that I actually sleep (its not like a "normal", deep, restful sleep) but the neurontin definitely helps me achieve at least a state of semi- unconsciousness, which thankfully helps the time go by a bit faster and helps with the depression and anxiety I usually find myself drowning in that first couple of weeks. Just a suggestion; I hope everyone is well this morning!
ive been using opiates for like 10years and H for about 4-5. Ive been trying to get clean lately and have been failing over n over again. I get one day and i cant take it much after that. One of the hardest things for me is the boredom and depression like i cannot distract myself at all cuz nothing is fun or interesting i just pace back n forth trying to kill the time but only a few minutes seems like an hour and a day feels like a week. I dont have a job or any friends or nothing im just at my house alone most of the day with a phone and tv and its jus so boring its driving me crazy. Im so used to using that i cant enjoy or even do anything without it and recently im not even enjoying anything while high its the same boredom feeling and i just cant shake it and is one of the main reasons i wanna stop cuz even on it i dont enjoy a single thing anymore
Stay strong William. You can do it. I would highly recommend reaching out to a rehab of detox or even your doctor to help you get the ball rolling with recovery. It can be very overwhelming and it helps to have someone helping you navigate it. Also connect with others in recovery. It takes away so much of the burden when we just relate and share with those that have been through it. If your not working right now this is probably the perfect time to go to a long-term rehab and focus the next few months on yourself it will pay dividends in the future I promise you.
I’m looking this up to help my brother. Did you manage to get passed it?
. I've gone cold turkey like 10 times, it actually gets worse each time. You should get on Suboxone.
@@stephaniegoodwin6306no
@@stephaniegoodwin6306 😢 dedication reminds me of my sister. Bless you girl 😎.
Not proud of this...but I have almost 20years experience as a slave to that bloody drug... Some withdrawal is much worse than others, obviously it depends how much you're using. I remember the first time I ever had withdrawal, I was soo bloody anxious and panicky and I was on the verge of panic, and I couldn't get comfortable no matter what I did. I couldn't relax, it was horrific, in the end, you're not even worried about getting 'high', you just soo uncomfortable and panicked an on edge that ALL YOU WANT is just to get some product into your system so that you can feel NORMAL and not be in terrible discomfort. Even mild heroin withdrawal is absolutely brutal...at the worst case scenario, you'll literally be wanting to f die!!!. You can't sleep when you're in acute heroin withdrawal, and you start to go delerious from that too. Don't f get on heroin, you'll loose absolutely everything and you'll learn a whole new meaning of suffering. Just don't f do it
Let's hope they listen to you my friend
Thank you so much
Opiate Withdrawal is absolutely HORRIFIC!... I took Prescription Pain Pills for 15 years and just quit when "The Plandemic" started, just incase the Pharmacy's Closed Down, or whatever.... I WAS NEVER SO PHYSICALLY ILL IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!.... Puking, Shitting, Anxiety, Insomnia, Skyrocketing Blood Preassure and Heart Rate, Restless Legs, Muscle Cramps, Ungodly Pain all over, Etc.... This lasted like a Month... I literally could not function.... I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!... Anyhow, I'll NEVER, NEVER, EVER, take another Opiated Medication as long as I live!... I got over it, thank God!... I havent touched one since I decided to stop taking the damn things.... People can quit, but It's tough.... God Bless!
Everything he says is spot on, except...it's not 12 days... It's like 4, by day 5 you're feeling pretty good. The best one word that describes the process is AGONY. You can't imagine how bad it is until you experience it. It's not something a sober person can possibly relate to or understand.
Jaydapp thanks man . I appreciate the support and your ight AGONYY . as far as the 4-5 days i think that totally has to do with each person and the amount. I have friends who after 4-5 days were feeling 90-100% ready to go just like you said and myself and others it was a solid 7-9 days before the physical stuff passed and still others who its a full 2 weeks. my addiction doctor told me she has multiple patients who have been thru 12+ days of full blown withdrawal . i guess it varies between people and substance and how much of the substance
@@SoberDogs Fair enough, thank you much for your reply and for your content! Much appreciated.
@@JustinOhio of course Jay and thanks for your support brotha!!!
I felt better on day 10 from oxy , Yea everyone is different
@@SoberDogs I’m with you, it depends on the person, amounts used, and duration. (The route too has psychological effects) It always takes me a solid week to 10 days just to turn the corner and finally sleep/eat, to feel with symptoms start to dwindle. It’s easily two weeks until I’m fine physically but this is where the mental effects start to intensify. You described it all to a tee
Drug awareness is important at early age... The heroin withdrawal is the worst thing a person should deal with.. M in my 7th day without drugs and everything feels shit.. Drug is hell.,
I WENT THROUGH IT FEW TIMES COLD TURKEY IN PRISON AND ITS THE WORST MOST PAINFUL DEATHLY FEELING. EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS IM FROM KENSINGTON PHILADELPHIA AND I WENT THROUGH HEROIN WITHDRAWAL FENTANYL WITHDRAWAL AND THE NEW SHIT TRANQFETTY AND TO ME ALL 3 WERE SIMILAR BUT DIFFERENT ONE THING I KNOW IS ITS NOT WORTH IT BUT I DO WISH THIS ON MY ENEMIES LET THEM SUFFER
Is it worse with fentanyl withdrawal? I used to take like 10 Roxy thirties a day so I know what that feels like but I'm wondering if fentanyl is similar. I also could not swallow OTC pain meds because I would gag, in addition to all your saying. I would have rather have the flu any day of the week!!! I could NEVER sleep during this. The restless legs are the worst!!! Also not being able to get out of bed to even brush my teeth, eat or shower.
I know it's an older video, but you've described it perfectly! I've just been out of the detox for a week, had a terrible time there! Tapered off far too quickly. I was on 180 mg oxy per day, and wanted to reduce it with suboxone, I had an allergic reaction to that, so after a long consultation, after 24 hours of not having anything, I received 5 mg methadone. That didn't help. Had a hellish night. The next morning I was given 35 mg of methadone, and that was reduced every day by 5 mg. I'm home but still feel terrible! Those restless legs, heavy heart palpitations, sweating profusely after walking a meter. Shortness of breath, diarrhoea, vomiting, a lot of weight loss. Not sleeping, depression I don't know anymore.... Much respect to you! Sorry for the long story, but I have to write it off for a while. Oh i forgot to say that i used the oxy for 5 years.
I heard you. You are nearly there. Hang on. Soon you will be ok just don’t let the devil whisper you back to it.
@@5398179 Thank you so much! Yes, i know, it's the voice of the devil wispering.
If I could sleep during withdrawals and not be up for nights wishing I could would have made heroin withdrawals much better. Jealous of anyone who doesn’t get awful insomnia
You describing this really well, 1 thing you forgot the lump in the throat that is impossible to get rid of,and the yawning, also idk why in 25 years i've been using opiates, at peak 3 grams of heroin or 3 fent patches (we dont have powder fent here thank god) never had no diharea or nausea during withdrawals,🤷♂️ but thats just me, every other person i know that used had those
Dope sick feels nothing at like flu.
You don't have severe dysphoria and adrenaline surges + panic attacks with flu. You can get comfortable in bed with flu, you can't get comfortable at all withdrawal.
You don't wish to die when you have flu - in withdrawal, you would take a bullet to the head stop the suffering.
Withdrawal is possibly the worst way you can possibly feel without being tortured.
Days 2, 3, and 4 are the worst days in Heroin withdrawal (if you do not inject and only smoke)
To deal with the physical and mental hell during PAWS, adaptogens work WONDERS. Curamin by Terry Naturally and Ashwaganda are what kept me from relapse. I wish more people knew this.
Great nickname! :d 😁
That sounds absolutely horrible.
I've NEVER been able to sleep during withdrawals. Ever. In fact that's what makes me feel so manic and anxious. And the brain zaps if you know what I mean
dude i get brain zaps if i miss a dose of my sertraline. shit is awful and uncomfortable as hell. i dont want to imagine the brain zaps from heroin withdrawal. if you’re clean, hats off to you. if you’re still in active addiction, just know that you got people who love you and who wanna see you do better for yourself. and you are NOT ALONE. may god bless you, friend.🙏🏽🖤
@@enigmaticglo 19 months sober and strong!
@@LemonTree9280 hell yes love to hear that💯im going on 2 years but sobriety is sobriety nonetheless. i dont know you but im proud of you.
The first time I kicked in jail.... Omfg, I was using the needle and smoking pretty equally at this time and it was by far the worst expierience I still have ever had. There was a couple moments where I actually thought my heart was gonna give out or something...Crazy thing is, I went straight back to heroin the second I got released even after fully kicking. Man o man, am I glad I dont ever have to deal with that shit again if I dont want to. The cravings sometimes can be so hard because for me, happy or sad I always wanted it, but it is so nice being in control of my actions again.
Wow Alyssa that nuts and i can totally relate. I think without some treatment anyone will go right back to dope even after a full detox. It is an incredible feeling to not have to be a slave to it anymore!!!
I watched on YT vid about girl in Alaska that died on heroin withdrawal in jail. Her surname was Green it was in 2016. Severely dehydrated and they did not take care of her.
Wasn't like the flu cause you get no relief from sleeping. It's 24/7 misery n torture. 2 Minutes feel like 45 min. Hours feel like 6 hours. I never vomited though. Diareeah , hot/cold and RLS. Feeling like a zombie
It's brutalllll
I did heroin (snorted) for 3 years. I was so dope sick...I was throwing up and having explosive diarrhea...the whole thing is unexplainable. I cannot put it into words the absolute agony. I'm on methadone now for about 6 years now. I have my entire life back. My job, family trust, motivation, a home...I'm on the DEANS list in College. I don't tell people about my methadone because the judgement I recieve is ridiculous. So, I stopped telling people. I am so grateful...and methadone doesn't work for many because they don't want to be clean. I tried everything..even Vivatrol...which just made me switch to Crack.
hello bro,i am also clean i did heroin like you and i try metadone for me that metadone is worste than heroin,i now it helps you but for me problem was i cant go anywhere because i must every day not at wekends be at my doctor and drink 5ml,you now how they call metadone liquid chains,so i transfer to bup and i feel much better i can travel to all europe because i receive from doctor certificate and i have so much of bup itake minimal dose but on papper write i take 16mg,sow i have for 1 years therapy at home and i go every week to pick up more.
also your head mind everything is much clean on bup,i wish you all the best you make a hard work you should be proud of yourself.regads from Croatia
whenever u read this. just know, methadone is liquid handcuffs made by government. 100x worse than heroin and even fent withdrawl. heroin wd fent wd 7-10 days. methadone a month or two n i’m serious. because it’s longer lasting
your not clean... your addicted to methadone. 6yrs for a 3 year habit doesn't sound like a fair trade.
Respect!
I did the same thing but slipped found myself in jail detoxing from methadone by the time I got out about 3 months later I felt a little better.............. (still felt sick tho) got on suboxone and haven't looked back...methadone ruined my teeth and twore my body apart plus going to the methadone clinic was a shit show. Good luck 🤞🏻
I've been a heroin addict for 23 years a benzodiazepine addict for 12 pregablin for 9 and now I'm borderline personality disorder with an alcohol problem on top of that so my future is not looking bright to say the least. In England especially in the south coast it's not good enough what help is available I'm at my wits end now and if i was brave enough i would end my life now literally but i am not built that way. Please pray for me i need all the help can get. Love, peace and empathy
There's hope Mark. There is hope. Please remember that.
The legs reminded me of the episode of Little House on the Prairie where Albert detoxed from morphine. It looked brutal.
I’m clean now but when I was on it about 4-6 years. Every year I went through CT withdrawal. Luckily my parents helped everytime lol but it’s true that each withdrawal gets tougher because it’s Fckn tiring!! My last withdrawal was the fastest cycle but it was a fkn tough one because it was true CT with no weed to help. My worst symptoms were the burning hot constant waves, angst, the inside of your body is like literally poop, energy was fckn non existent, and everything else because the pain intensifies by 100 lol
God..i remember the first time i withdrew from H, in jail. I COULD NOT SLEEP..omg PURE AGONY..its horrible..100 times worse than flu..and all i could think about was getting some dope
Yup Nicole exactly and thats why its so bad in jail cause we can't distract ourselves with anything like we could on the street.
The restless legs was in my back of legs ,it was like an electric shock every 35 seconds.HORRIBLE!!!!
Is there a way i can reach out to you?
I would take a flu times a hundred over withdrawal any day. With the flu I can still sleep and wouldnt have the panic, anxiety, irritability, and depression.
Do a show on morphine withdrawal i was hooked on that for almost twn years.i ate seven sixty milligrams a day.not sure how i made it been clean since 2012.i never knew what was going on til my cousin told me she was a heroin addict the withdrawal was terrible! She ended up overdosing on 2009.so did her dad my uncle in 92.it was eally hard to stop wanting this drug. I remember the cold clammy skin but my head is so hot im sweating.the invisible bugs crawling under my skin. Never again just because i injured my shoulder.doctor pushed ms contin on me,big mistake.
Phase 1 withdrawl symptoms: runny nose, watery eyes, yawning and general growing discomfort.
Phase two: all previous symptoms increased plus diarrhea, aches, anxiety, regret, depression, loneliness
Phase 3: all previous symptoms even worse now plus the worst one of all RESTLESS LEG / RESTLESS BODY. You feel unbearably uncomfortable. Your mind is a prison and you won't sleep at all for days. Eventually you'll get a little sleep here and there but it'll be weeks before you actually can sleep normal again. Oh yeah and chills/heat sweats
It's rough.
And you’re feeling every second of it. Been through enough times. Told myself not again after how bad this last one was
@ToledoSolider stay strong brother. And stay off that poison! Your soul shines too bright to be dimmed by that crap!
@@ino7604 you know you have to ! Been close to 2 months now. just having slight insomnia but looking back so glad don’t have to depend on that
@ToledoSolider I've still got the insomnia too. Keep the positivity going brother 🙏
Restless leg syndrome seems to affect my entire body. I feel like I want to run a marathon.
The worst part of withdrawing for me is the intense depression. It's why I keep falling of the wagon.
Use kratom to take a big step down ... and eventually squash that too. I know it's easier said than done, but I've done it, and you can too. I never used kratom to quit heroin because at the time I didn't know it existed... I'm almost 10 years clean from heroin now, and being my addict self started taking kratom recreationally until I was dependent on it.. I've now been clean from it for 2 months and I feel great. Can I ask where you're at right now in the addiction? Detoxing? Active?
You cannot sleep when ur dope sick at all for like a week at minimum
I slept but I was eating tf out benadryl lol pop like 4 of em try to sleep if it don't work like 3 hours later pop another 4 you'll sleep eventually might start seeing spiders tho or the hatman be careful
How is it possible to sleep during wd? I wish
Sleep!!!! There was no sleep!! The worst thing for me was no escape form the agony of withdrawal, had a family so had to work so a got as much codine as I could just to be able to move 😢
That's the thing. You'd give your right bollock for an hour or 2 of sleep by day 3. Day 4 is easier. Day 5 much better. Sleep comes then but 5 days with none makes you completely fried.
I tell people when they ask me what does a kick (withdrawal) feel like? I tell them the best way I can explain it is, picture having a flu and a bad hangover that doesn't go away for days
Omg yes the legs go restless legs yeah man horrible
Ive yawned so much my jaw dislocated, freezing colf, goosebumps like pennies, leg kicking, thats why the call it " kicking the habit"
