Depending on the daily dosage of heroin (and other drugs) a few hours. Withdrawal (cold turkey) is very unpleasant and when the addict cannot get the drug or a substitute they become very ill indeed. If need be 'bring the addict to A&E as soon as possile where their condition can be managed.

after watching my best friend go through a heroin addiction and then standing by him throughout rehabs and such all spring summer and fall, i think its safe for me to say that youll notice it in 24 hours, especially when you wake up , but the worst will be about 2 days into it...i.e. diarhea, vomiting,wanting to kill yourself (NO LIE), and all that other fun stuff. i hear its pretty rough. if you havent been using to long though, and you only did it once, im sure you wont notice it much?? i mean, ive seen people try it and nothing happens. and sometimes peoples symptoms of withdraw are more severe/less severe then others

Do not know, know other things about Cannabis or Amphetamines, but never want to know about Heroin or Cocaine

It probably differs for each person. Depends how 'dependant' they are I suppose.
