Options for Heroin Addicts to Avoid Withdrawals? [URGENT]
44 replies, posted
Just as the title says. A very close friend of mine has always told me that if they were ever to run out of money to reup and get dope that they would just kill themselves because their withdrawals would be so severe this time around because of the their increased use of the drug. Being their friend I obviously don't want this to happen so I was wondering what options are available to addicts who want to quit using all together? Could they schedule a doctors appointment and tell their doctor what's going on and get Methadone or Suboxone?
Any information helps. I just hope I can find something before it's too late.
get on subs

Don't have enough to buy any. All the cash is gone because we couldn't find a hook so he had to waste the money on buying small amounts to get well instead of reup at the same time.
go to a doctor???

Definitely this, if there is no option for a substitute or weaning him off of it, get to a doctor before shit gets bad.
I meant to get on Suboxone, but that works too.
I've had a few family members [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methadone]get this from a doctor[/url] to help kick heroin. It's kind of a terrible drug in it's own right but it's not as bad as heroin :v:
never really heard any good coming from methadone

It only helps if you're hell-bent on getting off a opiate. You ween yourself down using methadone.
fuckthe bullshit get kratom leaves it's healthy and helps with withdrawls
I doubt Kratom would be powerful enough to do much good for a long time heroin addict, but I guess it wouldn't hurt.

take a nice dose and it should from research it would be perfect. I figured it would be a much better option than methadone but if they don't work for the op which I'm sure it might but in the off chance then methadone would be the next option
Plus generally you should always attempt a natural alternative, methadone is nasty stuff people get addicted to it alone and then they have a whole new problem, try and get him into methadone assisted rehab where they can control his doses,
Go to Mexico and take Ibogaine.
If he cant get methadone or suboxone, Id suggest stepping down his opiate dependency with lower end opiates like codeine, hydrocodone etc.
I DO NOT RECCOMEND TAKING TRAMADOL TO EASE WITHDRAWLS.
TAKING TRAMADOL DURING OPIATE WITHDRAWLS GREATLY LOWERS THE SEIZURE THRESHOLD AND EVEN WITH SMALL DOSES YOU CAN VERY WELL HAVE A SEIZURE WITH NO PRIOR HISTORY OF THEM.
Eat some fruit and stay active.

is this a joke lol
"Bro I'm quitting heroin cold turkey"
"Dude you've been on it for 2 weeks straight, what are you going to do about the withdrawals"
"Eat some apples and have a jog every morning"
Having bud really helps too. Ive had mild withdrawls from pills quite a few times, basically I want more and I puke alot. I dont have them very often though, unlike this other kid I know that I used to do heroin with, hes the only one around whos a pill popper like me, the difference is hes a shrimpy kid and it only takes like 10-15mg of hydrocodone or oxycodone to get him high, or one 60mg MScontin, but he takes pills everyday, whereas I take them like maximum of 4 days in a week.
Buuuut.. I have a large tolerance... alot of it is natural but Ive built some up, these days I have to chew 180mg's of morphine to get a good narc goin on, or if I were to try and get high off hydro or oxy taken orally, which I havent done in a long time due to lack of benzos to mix with them, because I have to take like 60mg's of oxycodone with like 2mg's of xanax or klonopin taken as the percs kick in. For hydrocodone Id want to have at least 80mg's and 2mg's of benzos.
The problem with all that is, Ive done stupid fucking shit in the past like taking 23 percocet 5's in a 12 hour period, I used to fucking push the APAP boundaries.. I figured, hell, I wasnt dying and I was fucking high, whats 8000mg's of acetaminophen... it really scares me sometimes because I worry that I fucked up my kidneys or liver, so basically I try not to take more than 4000mg in a day, which limits me to taking the 10mg varieties of norco and percocet..
So basically morphine is my DOC, 180mgs all the way on up to 400-500mg's in a day before I started slowing down for my girl and my friends... I was doing shit like nodding out getting something to eat out of my friends grandparents fridge, his grandpa came out and saw me basically passed out standing up against the refridgerator with the door open and everything.. just shook his head and walked back to bed.
I've talked to former opiate addicts, and all I can say is that you're in for a world of shit. Getting off opiates requires the most willpower imaginable, there's no easy way to do it. Half of the people I talked to just endured the withdrawals like a fucking boss, you might have to do the same if you're not physiologically addicted enough for that to kill you. You can pass the time with pot, that's not a bad idea.
However, if you want to be a walking science experiment for us, do some psychedelics during the withdrawal. I've heard good things come from doing this, it'd be awesome if you could update us.

I'm pretty if you tell a doctor you're trying to get off that shit and the withdrawls are too much you'll get some suboxone.
Methadone.
Ugh. There's two methadone clinics in British Columbia. One in Vancouver, and one in Vernon, a small town in the Okanagan, which is like a 6-7 hour drive apart. Vernon is so fucked because of this clinic.. So full of junkies who only use methadone as a quick fix until they get more heroin.

fuck that, like i stated earlier kratom leaves would help since heroin is a strong opiate. Kratom leaves are to relieve said person from the painful withdrawals

I used to live in vernon, it wasn't that bad.
I remember seeing this OP around DD, at least by his avatar. I remember him getting heavy in some drugs or something. Perhaps Meth. I can't remember, but go to the doctor and get on some scripts to help with addiction. You do not want to go cold turkey on this one.

I honestly think he should try natural alternatives first before that, because their just going to give him methadone which is another drug for him and he may start taking them. I would like to see him recover not get addicted to another drug
off topic and not really meant as a personal attack but how did you guys get into heroin, didn't you watch TV or read your fair share of books to realise that taking a highly addictive drug is dangerous?

Chances are that he didn't give a shit, or didn't think he was going to get addicted.
