I have seen recently an increase in the number of people interested in heroin cold turkey. This lets me know a couple of things one of which is that there are some people who actually want to stop using heroin. The other thing may be that they do not have the funding or know how to go about getting any help for a heroin detox.
Let’s take a look at what heroin cold turkey is all about. The person that decides to quit using cold turkey heroin will have to face many challenges like these heroin cold turkey symptoms….
Heroin cold turkey
Insomnia
Diarrhea
Cold chills or goose bumps
Nausea and vomiting
Craving heroin
Sweats
Leg cramps
Restless leg syndrome
If you are up for the challenge here is what I would suggest. Stay awake as long as possible try to do this a couple days before your heroin detox. This should make you very tired. One reason this is so important is that you want to be able to sleep through the worst of your heroin cold turkey withdrawal.
Next thing I would do is get a family member or friend to come and stay with you. They can be of great help as far as you actually making it through your heroin cold turkey. The reason for this is that we need people in our life that actually car about us.
Next I would go to the pharmacy and get some medications that will help me with my detox. These will include Motrin for headache and leg cramps. I would also get some keopepetate for diarrhea and Benadryl to help you sleep. If you follow these suggestions the worst of your heroin withdrawal will be over in 3 to 5 days. But you will want to have a plan of action in place to stay clean; for instance, are you going to attend NA meetings or try something else. I will leave the rest of the plan to you.
