I hate it, never have liked it...even old days, watching my pals nodding out, cigarette in hand, jerking back up...always thought it sucked: I like the euphoria...and the 'happy' feeling you get, especially when you are sick, and feel the 'come on.' Way too many garbage versions of 'heroin.' don't seem to give me this...too much of it seems to be like fentanyl with some benzos added in. And that's what the methadone movies always show: people on methadone and benzos, which they describe as 'heroin' like is bullshit: it just imitates the nod and stupid behavior that comes with it....if I feel I"m starting to nod, I'd always go get a sixpack, or go to the bar and try to pick up a girl. Fuck nodding.

Damn Danny, I feel like I"ve let you down!

But I"ve always been that way...I nod, sometimes I drift into that very spooky 'Now I get eternity and it's terrors' kind of place, and don't like it, combined with the jerky half-awake state...I've met other people, tho, say that...I love the rush, and love the euphoria, and yeah, sometimes I go totally out, and come to on the floor wondering how close I came to o.d.ing....but nodding, never have liked it...reminds me too much of methadone ha ha....I do like to talk shit tho, when I'm loaded...that should come as no surprise

Same here.

I do enjoy nodding when im on a run and its the end of the day at night time. Its like im enjoying being high even as im sleeping, as when im high enough to nod, im so high that i do the jerking thing DF talks about.

But ultimately for me the extremely HIGH euphoria is my thing. I always feel SOOOOOOO good that Im running in circles.

[Duckfeet]

Yeah, probably my best dope memories are shooting up a dilaudid or two, and riding my bike off to some alligator or boudin festival down in Louisiana, drinking beer, yapping to my pals. I liked *doing* things on dope. I liked the way it made me feel. Nodding seemed a waste of a good high. There is a world out there, and the right combo of opiates and beer made me enjoy the fuck out of the place!

[opi]

I enjoy a light nod, heavy nods sometimes lead to me falling asleep and wasting the high. That is why I have always preferred oxycodone over heroine(too sedating), with heroine I would usually end up in a heavy nod and fall asleep, waking up a few hours later and not high anymore. Oxycodone even if it gets me nodding I don't fall asleep on it usually.

[Boudica]

I consider a good nod, a gift from God (dess).
Can only allow it one day of each month,
or I would run out of meds that I need so much.

Dammit.

This late night, I have no business posting crappy poetry about nodding has been brought to you with an
apology by one tired assed Boudica. Yawn.

[nikita70]

I like the way opiates makes the painful edges of reality smooth and soft,
as if They rearranged it according to feng-shui style
and designing the Space someone fucked up so much
adjusting it to your own need.
Different people called it different.
One talks about the sinkin' into warm bath, another the whole Evil ever blows away
still more'n'more'n'more...

Now that, me dear, is poetry.

Damn good stuff, too.

I happen to love good poetry, so thank ya for this.

Much enjoyed.

Love the nod, not a good high until my face hits the keyboard.

[dioxyhyrdoheroin]

noddin' all day



i love bein a zombie all day long

[Princess Kitty]

I rarely ever nod. Unless I'm opiated and REALLY tired. Not much of a fan. I prefer to get stuff done when I'm on opiates. I seem to do everything better and quicker when I'm buzzing.

[More Feen]

Not a fan of the nod.

If it happens, it means I took too much.

A nod is only a step or two away from serious trouble.

Now the occasional deep sleep with opies (probably a covert nod) can be restful & rejuvinating.

I hate the "speedy" opiates-hydroC, oxyC. It's not like I can get high off those anymore anyway though, lol. I've always loved heroin, morphine, hydroM, and oxyM. The rush, of course, is the best part of an opiate high to me, but I love the nod. It's just so amazing, euphoric, and dreamy. Very soft, almost romantic-feeling. It lets me know that I'm really, really high. It just feels so good to chain-smoke cigs with your eyes closed, thinking pleasant thoughts or not even thinking at all, just letting the mental images run through your head. I really enjoy those CEVs, actually. A lot of people I know get them, and they're never the same. Sometimes I watch a football game in my head while I nod...crazy shit like that. When you're truly on the nod, you don't have a single care in the world, you just dream your pipe dreams and dig the feeling.

[deedle]

the thing I miss most about pods (which I quit using a few months ago, in an effort to get my shit together -- ha! -- and also due to being near-broke): the delicious nods. they felt SO good, just dissolving into warm nothingness. I have to admit that I did *not* enjoy: 1) the semi-permanent nerve damage in one leg caused by nodding out in a bad position for ~8 hours -- I couldn't flex my foot backwards for three months! scary and 2) having my cat wake me up, freaked out.

no more nodding for me, at least not until the final nod, whenever that time comes. I don't mean to be macabre; I just hope it feels that warm and calming when it happens -- in its own time.

I've did it myself a few times (though never as bad as you describe). My first (and worst) was with pods too. I was shooting mostly HM at the time and using AZ pods for the staying power. I nodded out in this cheap metal futon and came to the next morning with my leg burning and throbbing. Seems I tossed and turned and got the sheet to wrap around my leg, cutting off a good amount of circulation. Didn't take long for all function to come back but that fucking foot hurt for a good week.

[Fat Pie]

I prefer the rush (obviously the coke helps with that).

I have a nod on atm; it's OK, but the 'sick to the stomach' nausea can be a bit much (plus I'm having a hard time reading this with one eye closed due to double vision).

At least I know I got some good shit (can't even read what I just wrote).

[zoomer]

Was a nodder in the at first but not now I stay up all day and into the night till 2-3 AM before going to sleep in my Recliner as I have not been able to sleep in bed for more then 2 hours at a time back pain gets me up! Getting by on 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night sometimes less some more. taking 2 Morphine 100mg ER and 3 MSIR 30mg a Day. One thing I did notice was during a many Hospital stays this last year most of the time They start me on Morphine 4mg IV @ 2-hours intervals that makes me sleepy as heck ? because my pain is worse in bed they change to Deluded Hydromorphine Hydrochloride 2mg on the same 2 hours intervals that doesn't make me sleepy at all very happy for about 11/2 hours then it's done over. One time the doc order the Hydromorphine and the Morphine pills I take at home then started giving me IV morphine now that was good. One other thing at home I quit drinking Coffee because it has no effect on me at all. Hope this helps! Zoomer .................>

with the way things are in the UK for dope right now (from what I hear) it sounds like you struck gold finding some brown that'll have you nodding that hard

[thisisthehaunt]

I really enjoy the state of half-asleep half-awake that Duckfeet describes. It produces a very "psychedelic" state of semi-consciousness infused with some dreaming and then a jolt back into a wakeful state. Yeah, sometimes I talk to people that aren't around, but it's still really euphoric.

Also LOL at Fat Pie, I find myself on these boards reading with one eye to try and nod and read the boards at the same time.

[zoomer]

During the first 2 years or so nodded off all the time as morphine was strong had a low tolerance but over time got to love the stuff in fact before the accetdent I told my FP that I was allergic to morphine cant believe that ever happen but it did I did not like the shit it was given to me in the ER for a Car accident one time had some back pain they IV me and Bang I was off to never never land? oh well that past love it now but love Dilaudid better it gives me energy for some reason IV morphine just nocks me out ? the pills are o.k. Do love nodding some as I don't sleep much at all so when I get the chance I'm nodding off.

I keep wondering if it's just me or not, but no drought lasts forever, so I'd say things aren't as bad here as you'd think.

I'm still feeling pretty 'blech'. Heroin hangover.

[Princess Kitty]

I was nodding REALLY bad at work today. It was pretty bad. Especially when I went to fill out paperwork (which there is a lot) I'd start nodding out. I think the front desk girl at the hotel knew because everytime I sat down to write she was out by where I was.

Im glad I perked up enough to drive home safely because I was on the verge of sleeping in my car at a rest area.

Overall I don't like Oxycontin nods. I LOVE DILUADID NODS. each drug seems different.

My one eyed cat got some tar and it was weird because she didn't feel high but she was nodding her ass off and was extremely nauseous. Weird dope.

[pegasys]

I like to NOD only when I'm nodding but still think I'm awake. Best nod ever, shoot up at work, walk around super fucked up, but only "wake-up" at the end of my shift. I had been working the whole time, and was only a little extra loud/inappropriate with custs (sales at the time). I got thru my whole 4-5 hr rest of the day w/0 memory of doing it.

This happened a few times, but usually I'd be told i was nodding out in the break-room or smthing, this I worked and got paid totally unconscious. - I'm sure there were benzos involved... and if it happened at home I'd have been pissed that I wasted my high, though since I was making like 100 bucks for 'free' by working w/o being aware of it, I was cool.

EDIT: I'm all about the rush.

[doctor diesel]

Why was this load of old arse bumped from history into the here and now?

Anyway, as it's here, and I'm here, I'll stick my oar in and spout off my opinion, even though nobody will want it.

For me there are two great things about a morphine-based high: 1) the euphoria, 2) the nod. Oh, actually three things - the third being perfect regulation of my otherwise highly wayward spastic colon. (IBS really but 'spastic colon' sounds cooler).

If I could only have one of items 1) and 2), I would pick 1) every time -the euphoria. I love the feeling and the mental state that it brings - a sort of positive, optimistic false belief that everything is fine, and will always be. Man, do I miss that escape from reality.

But sometimes the nod is just a fkin nuisance, and yes, it can and does waste precious high time, something I was always paranoid about on the basis that it never lasts long enough. However, when I used to get high - and I stress that it's not something I do any more - if it was late evening so I had nothing better to do, and nobody was making demands on me cos they'd all gone to bed - I would derive quite some pleasure from the gentle slipping in and out of consciousness that is The Nods. Yeah, baby, yeah!

[MoeMentim]

surprised I never responded to this back when it was bumpin. the nod isn't my thing for the most part. being pne with chronic ongoing depression what I love about heroin is how it really re-opened the world to me. fondest memories of the early days was waking up, scoring & heading off to meet pals for a morning of frisbee in the park, an afternoon barbeque (usually hiested steaks) and an evening of miscellaneous debauchery.
getting f'ed enough to nod without being able or willing to get up & pull myself together was never my thing. I can sorta enjoy it when the evening is winding down & I'm just stealing the last hour or two of heavenly consciousness from the sandman.

[Dr. McKay]

I enjoy the nod as long as I dont fall asleep. If I fall asleep when I wake up usually achey and need a little something to dull the pain.

Same deal with me, except instead of heroin it was pods and PST :P

I don't hate a nod, but it is damn hard to achieve and isn't so great. I much prefer just being high all day long, I think its why I like bupe more than most.
