I have a personal question in regards to heroin withdrawal/suboxone?
I have been taking heroin for about 6 months.... not injecting but sniffing it. I haven't been doing too much until recently and desperately want to stop. When I say I haven't done too much, I have been doing it every day, about 8 10 bags a day for the last 2 weeks or so. I have about 7 suboxone tablets that i got from a friend and was going to use those for the first few days if it was really tough but I was wondering how I will feel after a week of using suboxone. Will i have withdrawal from suboxone at that time??? If I havent done too much should I just try to quit without using anything. Any thoughts.... I made a mistake by getting mixed up with this and just want to put it behind me.

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
