Loperamide

[kyuss]

Do you guys
think this stretches
out the WD time?

[betmylife]

yes and no for me......it seems to only act on the gastro receptors....so it helps with the nonstop shitting of w/d........although when taken with a fair amount of DXM, it seems to cross the BBB a little and help with the insomnia and whatnot......this could be plaecebo or whatever, but it works for me........BUT....when I get to day 7 and stop the immodium, my bowels are still a little backed......but Im sleeping, not gnawing my fingernails off....so its not as bad......I dont even bother with the immodium anymore tho, I am in a permanent state of mild withdrawl, as I score every few days, and it takes a full 48 hours for w/d to set in for me ( my metabolism is slow as fuck).......

I also have a theory that alot of w/d is our subconcience......but thats for another thread maybe.....

I think you might be right about prolonging it Kyuss. Then again I am not sure how much of that is mental or physical. On my last 2 week break I tried the Loperamide method and it seemed to help somewhat, but I felt like the tail end of the kick would never end. I stopped the Loperamide and a day or so later I was just about normal.

It did help in keeping me from shitting myself on a 5 hour flight right at the start of the kick though. That was worth its weight in gold.

I almost shat myself while buying Loperamide.

I dunno, its not a big thing, it just seems to me, once yer brain learns of w/d....and of the various symptoms, it acts upon them.......I dont think I got the sneezes, yawns, etc......until I read about em on here......I dont think w/d really bothered me, until someone told me I was in it.........Im not saying its not a real thing, it def is.....I am in w/d a fucking lot.....but the subconcience is a powerful thing, I think its possible, if people didnt know what w/d was, maybe it would be less of a problem.......or maybe Im retarded.......probably a little of both.....anyways I have more to go on, but dont feel like typing right now, as I am sick...lol........later

I couldn't agree with you more. The first time I got dopesick I thought I had a bad cold and just took it easy for a few days. Once I knew what it was it seemed like the end of the world every time I got sick. Cant turn that switch off I guess. I think it has to do with knowing that one shot/sniff/pill can make it all go away rather quickly.

Even after being off everything for a few weeks if I think about withdrawal I start to feel it all over again.
