Can I take Suboxone for just a few days to get through heroin withdrawal?
I have been shooting heroin, 15 bags per day, for 6 months. I have 8mg Suboxones that I got from my Dr. What if I take Suboxone for just 3 7 days to get through withdrawal? I plan on taking 4 8mg the first few days and tapering down from there. I do not want to take Suboxone regularly, I just want to get through withdrawal with as little discomfort as possible. Has anyone tried this before? Any suggestions? I did heroin for 3 years, went through medicated detox and two months of in patient rehab. I was clean for 5 years and then foolishly slipped up 6 months ago. I do not want to go through rehab again

Heroin Withdrawal, Throwing Up Excessive Blood?!?
I'm trying to get clean off my opiate use. I shoot up heroin, as well as smoking black tar heroin. A few days ago I smoked too much black tar and I couldn't stop coughing hacking up blood after. I also have asthma, and I couldn't breathe, I had to be put on a nebulizer. This was sort of a wake up call for me, and after being a heroin addict for 3 years.. I decided to call it quits. I'm 19 years old now and female if that makes any difference. So I've been 3 days sober I do a long list of other drugs in addition to opiates, such as hallucinogenic drugs and benzos, but I've stayed away from those as well. So at first I had normal withdrawal symptoms like pain cramps and such but now I'm throwing up blood excessively, there is also blood in my feces. I'm in a lot of pain, and actually writing this via mobile while cringing in bed. Help please. I realize this also might be from benzo withdrawal, so keep that in mind too. I don't do any other physically addictive drugs, but I have experimented in the past. I really don't want to go to the hospital, since the police would get involved and everything. What else can I do? I can hardly breathe and my nebulizer isn't doing much.

Heroin withdrawals/relapse?
Hello, my boyfriend was addicted to heroin for 6 months, he injected. He has now been clean for 2 months and as far as I know hasn't relapsed. I only seem him once a month, but we talk everyday. A few questions I have is what are some ways I can tell if he has relapsed, not necessarily with heroin, but any opiate? Another question I have is he was really sick today, he was all stuffed up, had a runny nose, watery eyes, sinus tension, he threw up, soar throat, I know some of those are signs of withdrawals, which would mean he has relapsed, or could he really just have a sinus infection? Answers from recovering heroin addicts would be really helpful Thank you
