Answer:
Common withdrawl symptoms are: runny nose, yawning, restlessness; followed by hot/cold flashes, overall fatigue, and sleeplessness. The best way to describe it would be like a superflu. Withdrawls symptoms peak within 48-72 hours after the last use and subside within a week. Although not deadly, many facing these symptoms often revert back to the heroin to "make it go away". That is why it is advised to use some sort of treatment when quitting heroin, whether it is suboxone, methadone, or another "step-down" process. The main point is to remember WHY you are quitting heroin WHILE you are facing these symptoms. And to remember that they DO NOT last forever and it DOES get better!!
