The SMELL of Withdrawal

SuzieMeyers · 11-07-2009, 09:59 AM

Last weekend I went thru some awful wd's. When this happens, I can smell EVERYTHING like never before. Why the hell is that? Is it just me?

hydro chris · 11-07-2009, 10:05 AM

i notice the same thing, i guess opies are not hindering all the senses anymore like feelings, pain,ect,ect. is my only guess.
EDIT: AND I HATE IT BTW

I experience the same thing every time. The worst smelling kick for me was pods, like 3 weeks of out of wack taste buds and everything had an extra shitty smell to it. Then again when i kick my nose drains out completely and i can smell all the good things in life with time, unlike on opi's im dried out 24/7.

i'm with cloud9s shitty smell, being sick always had this trait scent to it......i could never really pin it to anything other than an old house who's wood is rotting....

if i wait to long to dose (methadone.....like this morning) it still creeps in - i really cannot stand it. leads to the great coffee chug with high fat food trying to make the dose kick in asap.

SuzieMeyers · 11-07-2009, 10:27 AM

Shit. Well along with everything smelling badly, even good smells are just so damn strong. Like for instance I will smell the laudnry detergent in my clothes like I took a bath in it.

BTW hydrochris, I hate it as well. I always know when I'm getting ready to go into it when that shit happens.

ANOTHER THING..... I get SO, what's the word, sensitive? Idk if that hits it on the head or not, lets say this, things gets very clear for me and I feel like a loser and most of the time can't believe the shit that I've been doing.

But then, of course, I get some dope and we are good.

WEIRD

yes, I hate it..smell of chlorine in the shower. Always reek of BO, even when others don't notice it.

I had to switch brands of cigarettes because the cheap ones are way to nasty during w/d..

just like the taste of dope on back of the tongue after a good hit the smell of withdrawl is always there the moment i wake up in those sweaty sheets.

Yeah that brings back memories of kicking in places like jail or detox that had strong disinfectant nasty chemical smells among other unpleasant scents. Thankfully that's all been a long time ago. Actually come to think of it now I guess it isn't an issue for me because I've nearly completely lost my sense of smell after a head injury.

Chipper · 11-07-2009, 04:29 PM

I have been thinking about this alot lately. Smell and taste, it's all off in w/d. I'm glad you brought this up, as I sit here in mild w/d. I think this is why your appetite goes away, too.

SuzieMeyers · 11-07-2009, 04:44 PM

Oh for sure chipper. I lose like 10 lbs easy in wd because I won't consume ANYTHING. I'm a wimp in wd big time that's why I am such a classic junkie, if I'm sick I will do pretty much anything to not be and anything is on the table. Sick, huh?

nothing worse than the smell of chlorine/pine-sol for me...however my own body generates some nastiness that competes - in addition to the sweat/bo/etc. during the night my nose goes into overdrive producing the stickiest, foulest snot imaginable, for a few hours everything smells like rotten boogers

sorry to hear about your injury - is the loss permanent or will/can you (even partly) regain any of the sense? i am assuming your taste is gone as well

- - - my heart truly goes out to you.

hydro chris · 11-07-2009, 05:07 PM

edit..sorry chip.. mybad i missed it

metallic mouth.....i always found the taste thing in w/d nearly identical to taste on acid - lesser/lighter withdrawal in general, too much of it reminded me of acid.......just, instead of euphoric excitement, utter horror.

hydro chris · 11-07-2009, 07:27 PM

^^haha about when ur at the peek of dope sickness and you fall a sleep for a bit.. that feelin you get
when you right just wake up..?

harryhood2001 · 11-07-2009, 09:56 PM

Yes I definetly have noticed it and thought it was just me. I could literally smell the air conditioner in my truck and it would drive me nuts. Everything seems so enhanced, I attributed it to the dope dulling all the senses.
