It's the oldest trick in the book. During this last and final run I was taking 12 mg of dilaudid a day along with norcos. I know pretty weak considering I used to be a full blown heroin addict for years and never returned to that habit once getting clean. But I feel every opiate addicts fear is the withdrawal and short term meth use is the answer.

On the first day with no opiates I start the meth by snorting, I do little lines but frequent
On the first day with no opiates I start the meth by snorting, I do little lines but frequent
and I have no leg pains no suffering just a little high blood pressure but that's common in withdrawal. It's sooo amazing how this works!! So the 40 sack will last me 3 days, yet for me it is imperative that I sleep at night so I have some type of benzo on hand the best option is valium but really any benzo will do. If I cannot get a benzo benadryl works for sleep. Or I can just choose to stay awake but that always makes me feel like shit.

So I do this for about 6-7 days and I'm straight. I don't need to go that long though. When I was in jail and taking pills and I wanted to get off of them all it took was one night of meth and I never kicked or had any symptoms of withdrawal after that night. I have never tried this method for severe withdrawal
I have never tried this method for severe withdrawal
such as slamming heroin only for mild to moderate withdrawal. I make it temporary because it really is only good for one thing and that's opiate detox. How or why it works I don't know but it does. Along with a benzo for sleep and I'm straight.

Just don't go through it if you're not ready to fully commit. It takes a toll on my appearance and body I used to slam it so I know. I know people that are locked up do this all the time. It's a good method because it works.
