When Will My Heroin Withdrawals Go Away and Am I Overreacting?
Question by Daniel: When will my heroin withdrawals go away and am I overreacting?
I was never a drug user and because of peer pressure, I randomly got into oxycodone… I started smoking and snorting oxycodone pills for about a month until I moved onto doing heroin, and that lasted for about a month. I realized that it was getting out of control and that this wasn’t me, so I quit July 12th, and I have been about 5 days clean now… I went 48 hours and couldn’t handle it, so I went to my brother, and he gave me a strip of suboxone. He told me to only take tiny pieces just to go to sleep, so I did. I took a tiny strip and it felt really good finally being able to sleep after 48 long hours. When I woke up, I felt really good, and went another 24 hours fighting my withdrawals. It has been 5 days and I still can’t manage to fall asleep because I feel the “shake” and “kick” withdrawals… It is literally physically impossible for me to fall asleep, and I feel like I can only fall asleep if I try really hard for 2 hours (I’m impatient) or if I just take a tiny strip of suboxone. I am just curious as to how it can be this bad if I’ve only been doing oxycodone and heroin for a month? My friend and I started doing it around the same time, but he handled the withdrawals really well without the help of suboxone. Instead, he drank and took ketamine the first 3 days and then afterwards he said he felt great and his withdrawals went away… Now he’s clean and now I’m struggling. Is it all in my head? Why can’t I get through this and he can? I just don’t want to get hooked on suboxone and I am a really sensitive person so I overthink all of this. I wish I never got into heroin… I assure everyone that I will 100% never go back, and I don’t believe in relapsing, because I also have a strong mind, I just want someone to tell me that 2 months of drug use is nothing and that I should be able to get through this.
