I need help with withdraw. I just stopped using Heroin today. Last night was my last time using.
I only used for about a month. I'm pretty sure I'm getting withdraw symptoms even though it's only been a month. I feel so sick. can someone please help me an tell me how long I will feel sick?

maddie, do you have health insurance? If you do, that usually covers medical detox which would help you to be more comfortable.

From what I know, withdrawals from opiates can be flu like symptoms and your bones feel painful.

***DISCLAIMER*** We have a rule here though about giving out medical advise, just so you know. I really hope you can do a medical detox, it would be the best way for you to get through it. Good luck!! And welcome to SR.

I'm so sorry you're going through this and hope you're able to see a doctor for help. Where do you live? There may even be free or low-cost detox in your area.

I'm glad you're reaching out today - there are others here who have been in your shoes and I'm sure they'll want to offer their support. :ghug3 Check out our substance abuse forum, too:
