I have not, but my ex mother in law has. Niacin. You can get it as a supliment in pill form, and it helps detox your body. Also try cranberry jiuse, not cocktail, but the straight juice. It has certain enzemes that help to detox. As far as night time goes, take a hot bath, and just do your best to relax. Every night you get thru is one more closer to when you'll feel better! :)

Yep...
I can help you with this one..
Withdrawals are kind of like a really bad case of the flu however what makes it worse is that you can't get any rest at night and you are exhausted from fighting all day...
I remember thinking to myself..
" I could beat this without a problem If I could just get a nights sleep every night "..
Problem solved...Chloral Hydrate...
I got a bottle and knocked myself out every night for about a week. ..Once the worst was over, I quit the Chloral Hydrate and drank a fair bit of alcohol for a month or two ...I still got that feeling
for a couple of years every time I smelled a fresh match but the whole experience was not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
I sure can relate to the need for a good nights sleep and Chloral Hydrate is now old school....I suppose I would use Ambien now.
Chloral Hydrate is what used to be called "Knock out Drops" or a "Mickey" 30 - 50 yrs ago..
Don't worry, you'll be fine and none the worse for the wear.

Good on you for having the courage to kick your addiction! Making the decision to quit is half the battle. Please go see a doctor or rehab facility for some help, withdrawal, no matter how big a habit you have, is pretty rough. You will have a greater chance of success if you have help and support. *Edit* Sweetie, if you try and go cold turkey on your own rest assured that your parents are going to find out. Withdrawal can and will make you very sick. At the very least they are going to notice the shaking and the sweating and the cramps and the vomiting etc.

You really should get some professional help with this, from a trained drug counsellor or drug treatment center. Heroin addiction is far more serious than you might think, and it's not something you can kick on your own. As stupid as it might sound, the methadone will actually help you as you slowly kick the habit. It replaces the heroin that your body is craving, and is done in a supervised environment that puts you back on track, and ia successful together with support and counselling and effective after-care.

I can't say that I know what you are going through, because I have never done that before, but I have been addicted to something similar. Everyone is different, and we all have our stories. Personally, for me, I prayed about it. One day I had enough, and I just started talking to God. I told Him I didn't want to live like that, and to please help me stop, and he did. I wasn't "into" God before, but something happened that day, and it clicked. The pain was gone like night and day. I don't know if you are a believer or not, I'm just sharing my experience with you. I wish you the best. Have you called any clinics for ideas, or maybe a hospital? You can do it. You're worth the fight!
May sound cheesy, but it is true.

LOTS of water. And it would help , especially in the first few days if you had something to help you sleep. Try some tylenol PM or some benadryl. Oh , and get some OTC nausea medicine... you may need it, many do.
