True, but not before reaching walking dead intoxication levels. Lope needs to be at massive doses just to help stave of bad WD. Methadone doesn't. A 100mg of Lope doesn't do very much centrally acting wise. A100 mg of Methadone does quite a bit.^IIRC lope is a methadone analogue so it would make sense that methadone would cause the same cardiac side-effects.

Some Lope abusers can hit 400mg to get the relief they want, but 400mg of methadone and you're approaching OD territory. So the likely hood of having QT issuse on Methadone is less likely as most don't need anywhaere close to the amount that Lope users need. Usually MMT clinics also do cEKG's to monitor people who get up into the 140mg range or higher to look for individual hERG issues. Lope users don't always go for there EKG at the supermarket the jacked the lope from.
Yeah luckily my dad and brother have both used a fair amount of the 'softer' drugs (never became full on fiends like me) so I had my dad and brother in my corner. It's just my mum who has never used 'drugs' who thinks like that.hhahahaha law abiding citizen.....more like a zombie from the system :/ shame my family is the same, not that much but u get my point. hahahaha We psychonauts question everything hahahah.
I'm pretty sure Testosterone levels go back to normal after cessation of Opiates. Only in rare cases people end up with problems regarding low testosterone levels. Btw, who wants to have sex? when you're on opiates it's like having sex with yourself 8-12 hrs a day continuously.
Vitamin D Deficiency in itself causes low Testosterone you do realize that fact right? Why should I go out of my way to do the work for you about finding this information if your so interested in it? I find in Life you can be unaware of a lot of things in Life when your not Searching for them.
Exactly, but it's really weird to catch a cold when you're on opiates that's what im intrigued about. It's like opiates help your immune system in some way. mhmm
Whether Kratom is a opiod in the true sense is debatable. But when I was on it 24/ 7 during a seriously stressfull period of my live. I was sick 5 /7 day's every other week. That is having a flue like shit the first and third weekend of the month. 14/ 18 healthy day's. So imo stress is a more weighty facto on the inmune sytem.It seems that opioid use has the ability to interact with the immune system in a variety of ways. There is data showing that chronic use (this study defines chronic use as 24 months) can suppress the immune system. This may play a factor in why you dont "get sick". In reality you are probably still catching the colds but your body is not responding to the virus and thus the nasty inflammatory response that makes a person feel so shitty is not presenting. But this ultimately is a negative effect of chronic use because you are allowing your body to become more susceptible to disease.
Opioid System Modulates the Immune Function: A Review
Um.... Do you not consider your Testosterone Level being the equal to a 80 Year Old Man since Opioids used 24/7 will INHIBIT your lUTEINIZING HORMONE 24/7 and even when stopping Opioids/Opiates like Methadone. Your Testosterone/Estrogen stays in the Toilet and is mainly one of the reasons for low sex drive on them. Similar to Anabolic Androgenic Steroid Users of Testosterone Injections that ust Post Cycle Therapy Drugs that Stimulate the body to make lUTEINIZING HORMONE again on it's OWN is what I have read to be the ONLY thing to kick start a 25 Year Old Male's Testosterone Levels on a Thread here but he never came back to Post whether the Results maintained themselves but he did say his Testosterone went from below 300 to 954 or something.

During the period I was on Kratom, not the part's with flue. My libido was 100%
Everybody pisses his or hers hormones in the toilet, nothing weird going on over there. Just keep homeostasis, must be the weed I reckon!
the last true rock. n. roll. band from Britain. ♥fuck yeah the libertines!!
My quote was refering to the link about opiods supressing the immune system.Kratom isnt IMO a true opioid. It activates opiate receptors but it is much more complex. Similar to how tianeptine isnt an opiod but has mu agonist activity (I'm not comparing the 2 in terms of effects though, just giving an example). I still get sick and I take kratom daily. But when I used heroin I never got the flu or a cold or other common illnesses. But in reality I probably did but wasnt feeling the immune response from the illness.
I don't remember mentioning kratom though, why did you quote me on your kratom post?
fuck yeah the libertines!!

I have heard chronic opiate use makes you look younger. I am 38 and people always think I am in my mid 20's. Correlation does not equal causation but I have always found it interesting that I have been a heroin addict for over 20yrs and when people see me that I knew back in highschool they are amazed at how well I've aged..... Even got the old "What's your secret?".... "Why of course, late teens MDMA abuse, develop a heroin addiction in your early 20's, get on methadone and benzos, have a few raging crack periods that result in rehab, get a private doc for methadone and benzos but run out of your meds 2 weeks early every month, so that you are withdrawing 2 weeks out of every month of the year for 4yrs, Kick methadone and benzos, while not sleeping for months, relapse a couple of times and well that's about it, I guess it's cause I'm a week clean and living healthy.... Ya know."
" Run out of your meds 2 weeks early every month, so that you are withdrawing 2 weeks out of every month of the year for 4yrs"
GOD, this was me too for years with my Opiates and Benzos.! Those were some Rough Days indeed.! Now i'm on the Subutex Train for the last 5 years, and not sure of my next stop.! Subutex is the first drug I can make last all month. Amazing stuff for the moment...
Over my many,many years of Opiate use, and several friends use as well it all comes down to "Genetics". Some users can do opiates for years, and not experience hardly any ill effects.!! Now that is Truly some good Genes.! Lucky Fuckers.! While other users of opiates I have seen The Gambit of side effects ...from Premature Gray hair, to Low T, Vitamin D deficiency causing tooth loss, Brain damage due to hypoxia, resulting from respiratory depression... Like memory loss. Have you ever turned Blue, and passed out do to an OD.? ...then the next thing you see is a paramedic over you ..brought back to life thanks to Narcan.! Not breathing for that long kills some brain cells. I'm personally sure of that.! "But The main Benefit I get out of Opiates is Chronic Pain relief so I can live a normal life.!" Yes Sir
