Well, I have to concur that there are some opiate-like effects from taking loperamide. I have been IVing H daily for 6 months, anywhere from about 60mg to 300mg in divided doses. I've always liked the initial effects of H better that occur in the first 30-60 minutes rather than the longer lasting effects at 4-6 hours. Therefore I usually take smaller, more frequent doses like 4-5 times daily rather than 2 larger ones. I love the initial head rush and euphora.
I did not find my H in my mailbox today to my disappointment. Remembering that Immodium can stave off some of the WD's I did a little research and thought I'd give it a go. I bought a bottle of 200 pills and popped 12 of them, 48mg. Another check in the mailbox and my stuff was there-the mail came late. About an hour after taking the loperamide I banged about 35mg of H and had my pleasurable effects. One thing I do notice is that my high is different. The product is the same that I've had the last few times as my supplier sells what he has in a month or so before re-upping, and he also says when he has a new batch. I find it very hard to verbally elucidate physical feelings into what others can understand for themselves, but what I do feel is a much more intense body-high as well as a nod. My limbs feel light and heavy at the same time and an odd feeling in my abdomen. I've always chased this body high with H and never really got it. I found hydrocodone and oxycodone to be much more effective in this aspect. By itself I don't know how much of a high it can induce, but it certainly did something.
I am starting a job where I must test drug free, so I will be using loperamide to taper from the H. By the way there are some varieties which contain simethicone and I do not know the effects of large dosages of this drug, so I think it's best to avoid these.
