I think a lot of people are wondering what the are heroin symptoms? Almost immediately after injection or smoking heroin it will cross your brain blood barrier where it is then converted to morphine this is simply amazing how this all works but anyway more times than not the user will feel a rush of intense euphoria or in other words pleasure.
This mostly occurs when heroin is injected for this reason it is very addictive plus it is a chronic, progressive, and fatal disease. Once a person becomes addicted to heroin their compulsive behavior takes over and often leads them to trouble many end up in prison for drug related crimes.
Other heroin symptoms to lookout for may include
Nodding- This is will look like the person is falling asleep but they wake up a lot this can even happen while the person is standing up.
Euphoria- A rush of pleasure after ingesting heroin.
Drowsness- Looks very sleepy eyes are like slits.
Nausea and vomiting- This frequently happens with new heroin users it is actually the body’s way of rejecting the drug.
Pin point or constricted pupils
Tollerance- This happens when one has been using for a while they will need more heroin to get the same effect. This is one of the first signs of heroin addiction.
Itching- This is a sure sign of a using addict a give away.
OK lets move on a little to what you can do if you or someone you know has these heroin symptoms and have become addicted to heroin.
Here's the thing if you can not afford to go to heroin treatment you will have to go heroin cold turkey. This may be one of the hardest things you will ever do in your life but let me tell you it is worth it and best of all you will remember it well this is good also because it will remind you that you never want to go through it again.
One thing I can tell you is that from my experience this will not easy because you probably will have no drugs to help you with heroin withdrawal.
First thing you need to do is remove all your burnt spoons, needles, and other paraphernalia. Next I would get some Gator Aid for your thirst because you will be sweating a lot and you will need to replenish your body with fluids it is very important to keep hydrated. Then I would buy some Motrin and Tylenol for headache and cramps and maybe some Kaopeptate for diarrhea.
During this process be prepared for stomach and leg cramps, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, goose bums, hot and cold sweats and chills.
Lastly I would invite a friend or a family member to come stay with you because they can help get you things and be there for moral support as well as to help keep you from using again because as sure as I am sitting here at some point you will want to give up and use they can help you not to.
Good luck with this and we encourage questions so do not hesitate to ask.
