Epinephrine and an opiate?

[whitemilk661]

Was reading about people's experiences injecting epinephrine yesterday, and it doesn't seem like much fun, but now I'm wondering...

What if one were to inject epinephrine and say heroin at the same time? I for some reason think this would be dangerous just like speedballing, if not more? But I sware I've read somewhere that epinephrine is used in heroin overdoses.


Would it be too much for the body to handle? Seems like if the body could handle it I would imagine it would produce a pretty powerful effect.

Seems more likely to be a panic attack in a syringe than a recreational drug.

IIRC adreneline rushes are pleasurable to some not because of adereneline, but endorphins.



I guess what I"m really asking is would a shot of heroin with epinephrine null the panic that epinephrine gives alone, and if the body can even handle it.

I'm pretty sure heroin would dull the panic, and the epinephrine would dull the opiate itch. But I'm still gonna have to pass. Whether the body could handle it is almost certainly dose dependent.

sounds like something I'd rather avoid. I love the upper downer combo, but I like to stick with amphetamine like uppers, more dopamine less epinephrine.

IV adrenaline is something that shouldn't be messed with outside of a clinical setting, it should only be slowly infused and even so often leads to complications.

Like I've said several times in recent threads, simple caffeine (a xanthene), is a true potentiator in that xanthenes block the creation of the metabolizing enzymes for most major types of opioids (blocks the making if them, doesn't just compete for the same enzymes or whathaveyou). This is something methamphetamine & cocaine do not do (though they, especially the latter, are interesting (latter: amazing) stimulant combinations to have with opioids, but caffeine has its own peculiar knack in full pharmaceutical reality that none other really do in themselves and this is oft overlooked due to its wide availability; it seems many would rather mix alcohol, etc.)

this is the exact opposite of anything I would ever do

Oh well if it's you're worried about overdoses on opiates put a Suboxone or two under your tongue just before you shoot H.
