Heroin The quest for the nod

Hey all, new here, been lurking around here for years however. This isn't exactly the place for formal introductions though.

Been using heroin off and on for almost 10 years, so I know how this all works, however, I only recently started shooting (late bloomer), and I'm finding that I absolutely cannot catch a good nod, if one at all. Years ago, a buddy would shoot me from time to time, and I feel like I would always nod, even snorting used to make me nod, but I've got enough tolerance where that isn't gonna happen.

Anyways, my question is, how much do you have to shoot with a fairly regular tolerance to get a "real" nod? I shot about a gram and a half yesterday, was even a little scared to do so as it's only been about a week since I started shooting. I did get an intense rush, but like I've heard others describe, I almost feel energized after the initial rush, which is good in its own way, but I have such fond memories of nodding out. I know I could accomplish this if I threw a few Xanax bars in (which I plan to do tomorrow, got 8 on deck, figure 2 should do right for me). I'd really like to just get a good nod though like people "normally" do, but I don't want to mess around and shoot 2 grams and od myself either. Does it make a difference if you use tar or powder? And I've heard that putting the dorms in while cooking helps with nod, but I always thought that's partially what you filter out with cotton.

Just realized this seems like way too long of a post, heh, thanks for any responses ahead of time.
 
You shot a gram and half at one time and did not get to nodding?!!


IDK, Id be careful going up to 2 grams at once (this has got to be killing you financially though?!)

Just curious, how much would you snort at once?...how many times a day snorting? Is this like an everyday thing or few times a week, or..?
 
pay attention with benzos + opiates, you have a high tolerance but if you shot up 1.5 gs and took a few xannies that would potentially be lethal

This. Be careful with dose of xanax, 1.5g of (expected relatively good if you are 10 years in game) heroín with benzos could be easily lethal.

Shit, fininancially, I don't even wanna speak on it lol. And I guess I technically did a gram, I shared 0.5 with someone snorting. I was and am easily used to half gram per day snorting, but lately it's been a gram, but that's partially cause I got better connect, and pay half the price I used to.

Thanks for advice on benzos, I went to rehab years ago and was real bad on benzo/heroin, I used to do half g, and 2 bars, suddenly I'd wake up on my living room floor on my face in some weirdass position, legs hurting for days after from whatever way I was laying. So I def know it can be dangerous, specially shooting. Took two bars, n a shot ready, went easy on shot, bout 0.4. We'll see.
 
this can't be only tolerance... i think that no matter the tolerance 1.5gs IV sounds insane.. is that possible ?
 
Just ment not cut, not 100% pharm grade.
I know guy who somehow (didnt pay attention a lot to these things I dont like injecting drugs Im scared I will try it once and will repeat but hopefully not :D put 10 of 80 oxy in one large syringe (filtered) and shot it in one go and was pretty high but still functional and I was told pharm heroin is equal to oxycodone so wouldnt call 1500mg lethal for anyone (people with maybe higher tolerances to h, decades I dont fucking know) but I doubt is entirely impossible not to die from 1500 mg of pharm grade heroin.

Maaan you're shooting that much and adding Xanax into the mix? Please be careful man. Ive never heard of anyone taking a dose that big...

Maybe your body is so used to the H that it has adapted and the nod is just unattainable for you until you take a major tolerance break. I know I know, a lot easier said than done..
 
Non-judgmental comment here, but still heed it-

Maybe when becoming not satisfied with the effect heroin has on you, instead of thinking about how much more to take, think of why you're on it in the first place and what the benefits of getting off it are...

Just something to think about- Good luck.
 
Everyone reacts to drugs differently, and you also have to remember set and setting.

Opioids can be stimulating because they cause the release of histamine - histamine is a major 'wakefulness chemical' when it is released in the brain, instead of causing itching, hives, and pseudo-allergic reactions in the body. This also explains the reason antihistamines knock you out: they block the effects of histamine in the brain as well as the body.

Try taking some Benadryl or promethazine or some other sedating first generation antihistamine, and reduce your dose of heroin somewhat. The old school antihistamines that knock you out will also potentiate your opioid of choice... so be careful.

Taking benzodiazepines to knock you down is not smart: benzos and opioids in combination are often lethal. The memory suppressing effects of high dose benzos are also a good way to end up doing far too many drugs before you realize what you've done and they potentiate each other exponentially. Lots of people nod out and choke on their vomit, or stop breathing.
 
sorry to go off thread tell anyone tell me if 300mg of codeine and 300mg of Tramadol is safe to do

yeah of course it's not impossible but I think a 1.5 gram shot of pure diacetylmorphine would kill anyone without a HUGE tolerance, but my I don't know man my experience with opiates is limited so how do I know for sure? lol

Take less Tramadol

Take more codeine.

Combination itself isn't that dangerous although your seizure threshold is pretty low with high doses of tramadol, it shouldn't be too bad.
Main thing is that it just doesn't seem like the greatest combination as for as a high goes.
