I'm looking for some information, but I don't even know where to start, so I figured I'd try posting here. For the last 2-3 months, I've been using heroin 4-5 times a week. It's never been a lot, usually my boyfriend and I would split about $20-30 worth in a day. If we bought more than that, if it was good quality it would last us several days. We tried to keep our use as low as we could to avoid any problems. Neither of us experienced any kind of dope sickness during this time, even when we'd go a few days without getting any. We didn't use IV, never even considered it since both of us have needle phobias. I don't know if I'd say I've developed an addiction, though I know there's some of it psychologically. I've always been a fan of the way opiates make me feel.

Anyway, the point of this post is that now we are quitting. We'd been buying through a friend, and he's going into treatment for his own addiction, and we don't want to risk finding a source of our own. Last night was the last time we used. I've read some stuff about withdrawal symptoms, but it always seems to be talking about symptoms in people who have used for years or used IV. What I want to find is what kinds of symptoms we can expect for having only used a few months. Does anyone have any kind of answers to that? Or can point me in the direction of those answers?
