Question by : is this normal for someone coming down from heroin?
My 15 year old brother is coming down from heroin and its been ugly he has been shaking puking and in massive amounts of pain. He won’t go to rehab and my parents are thinking about making him go in against his will he does wan’t to quit but i guess his pride is getting in the way and he doesn’t want help and he wants to try it on his own. But is this normal i mean how he is feeling? He has also been sweating so bad it has soaked his bed i a so worried i haven’t been able to sleep yet and id on’t want to because i don’t want to lose my baby brother.

Question by C.C.: Continuation of heroin overdoses after a near fatal OD?
I have been a heroin addict for about 10 years. I was clean for 6 months before a bad relapse where I overdosed and ended up in the hospital. It was almost fatal, I was not breathing when the paramedics arrived. I unfortunately have continued heroin use through this week but am finding that no matter the amount, I blackout, or in other words, have less serious OD’s. I come to within a short amount of time, but it is very unusual for me. Did I do some sort of serious damage to my brain or body from the near fatal overdose? Is my liver maybe damaged or is my body somehow responding differently to the shots of heroin? I am obviously going to get clean again because it is clear that my next injection of heroin could quite easily kill me, but I’m worried about irreversible damage. Has anyone ever heard of similar experiences?    Read more...
