Suppose you used once then stopped, would you get an unpleasant withdrawal? How long do you have to do it to get pain when stopping?

[dopesickjoel]

@ralphinio4 No, you don't get that from using once. It takes about 3 weeks to get a physical dependency. But some people can get psychologically 'hooked' pretty much right off the bat.

I have a theory...

Maybe the reason why we feel so much pain when we take this drug is because we are always are feeling that pain, but we get used to it and feel that it doesn't exist, but then when we all the sudden feel good, we don't have the pain, and we soon now notice the pain.

[dopesickjoel]

@ConspiracyChannel101 Yes and no. When you've been using opiates and stop, your natural pain blockers are not effective enough, there is a backlash, there is real withdrawal. normally,your natural opiates will keep you from being hypersensitive. but when you quite opiates, you feel raw, sensitive to every little thing, until things balance themselves out.

When you can fart without shitting your pants, you're over the hump.

@dopesickjoel Bottom line... Don't even think about going there!

Iboga might have helped...

i went cold turkey to get off the methadone which was PURE hell!!!! Weed helped a lot tho

[NotManyDTL]

bro u should take Xanax or smoke weed that helps it a lot,doing it cold turkey is too dangerous

@ralphinio4 and thats exactly how it starts.

[ralphinio4]

@dopesickjoel , reason i ask is I've been dabbling recently, mostly due to depression and unemployment. The weird thing is, i get a great buzz from it (shooting), but then leave it for a week and don't crave it. Also, I notice I only really do it after drinking. I know i've got a tiger by the tale though and your vids remind me of this, it can't solve any of my problems and could become my greatest problem. Hope ur well.

@dopesickjoel Physical dependance seems to come back quicker if you have been addicted before. It can only take days.
