Is it physically possible to come off of herion without medication? And how long would one be sick from the withdrawl?

There are some OTC meds that can help...
Immodium, HYlands restful legs, lots of fluids... gatorade, vitamin water etc.. Motrin for aches, something like Melatonin or Unisom to sleep.. you may need to try a few.. everyone is different. some people like Tylenol PM..as soon as you can try to get out and walk...
You can also search for the "thomas recipe" on this site..
I was clean from heroin for almost 6 years.... It can be done..
Welcome to the site
Suboxone or Methadone may be of some help...however they can to be addicting, especially methadone.
Good Luck

Do you have any medical conditions that may be an issue such as a bad heart or someting? Can you talk it over with your doctor to make sure?
Best of all to you and good luck getting/staying clean

There is no easy way to detox cold turkey. You just have to be strong and remember that time really is on your side and things will get better. I have to keep reminding myself that after today everything should be uphill and getting better.
