Hello,
Heroin withdrawal symptoms can last for a week or two. But the duration depends on the dosage, frequency of usage and how long you have been using Heroin.
The withdrawal symptoms can be severe including vomiting, pain, diarrhoea etc. So it would be best to seek medical care while stopping Heroin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
