The symptoms when withdrawing from heroin can include running eyes and nose, yawning and sneezing, nausea, diarrhoea, feeling hot and cold, pains in muscles, bones and joints, jerking arms and legs, feeling cold because of sweating, feeling restless, anxious and angry, disturbed sleep. There are some things that you can do to help you cope with the withdrawal symptoms. If you can, plan to take it easy, expect to sleep badly and take time off work. Stay somewhere warm – you may want to have a duvet handy. Try to have supportive people around you – keep things as stress free as you can. Get in a stock of food (soup in case you can’t keep solids down) and alcohol-free drinks. Take hot baths – this will help with the muscle pains. And remember things will get better!
