What Are The Side Effects Of Using Heroin?

I have been a heavy user of heroin. But I had abstained for 9 months after a rehabilitation process. I relapsed a few days back and consumed huge amounts of it. I regret the incident and hence stopped since the last 72hours. But there are severe withdrawal symptoms. I have flue-like conditions with running nose, sneezing and aches. How do I get over this situation? How much time would it take for these conditions to improve?
