Misc Would taking a lot of Loperamide [Imodium] make me hardcore vomit like that?

[ChemicallyEnhanced]

IDK if it's related, but I took around 60 x 2mg Loperamide before I went to bed last night [around 12am-1am]
Woke up at 6am feeling INCREDIBLY nauseated, ran to the bathroom, and projectile-vomited until I was spitting blood.

I was gonna make an Exorcist comparison, but it was actually more like the parody of that in the opening scene of Scary Movie 2.

I didn't taste anything like chemically or see capsules [or remnants there of] so I'm hoping the pills have already been absorbed.

You shouldn't do this man. It's a horrible idea. The one time I tried it I ended up having to go to the ER because I felt like someone was stabbing a knife into my heart. Dealing with withdrawal from opioids is very preferable to that feeling. I was sure I was going to die.

The worse part for me is they wouldn't even give me a damn EKG until hours later when the feeling started to subside a bit. All I managed to do was get myself labeled a drug seeking in my medical records. The little bit that might pass the BBB is not worth the risks of consuming a bunch of loperamide tablets.

In answer to your question: Yes your body probably figured out that you'd poisoned yourself and did what it's supposed to do. Please don't attempt to repeat this. It says right in the thread about attempting this that 9 out of 10 people get no positive effects from attempting to do this to get some of it to cross the BBB. Go pawn some of your shit or something and buy proper opioids if you're so hard up and in withdrawal that you need a fix.

I'm in a bad situation where I'm stuck living with my parents again due to severe physical and mental health problems. I WAS homeless, but they let me live with them after I was hospitalized and almost died from a combination of Necrotizing Fasciitis ["flesh-eating bacteria"] and diabetic ketoacidosis.
I've gotten generally much worse since, in terms of both mobility and general health. If I didn't live where I do I'd be homeless and die very quickly.
But a condition of living here is my dad controls my money, so I couldn't buy opiods if I wanted to and I can only walk for ~4 minutes before the pain becomes unbearable.
I just have my Morphine script.

I'm taking the lope to stay out of withdrawal, not get high. But I'm at the point now where withdrawal is so bad that I'd prefer ANYTHING else. Like, even having a heart attack from Lope is preferable than withdrawal. I've done worse to get hospitalized or pain meds [smashed my finger with a hammer, deliberately put myself into a hypoglycaemic coma, injected myself with feces etc].

Is their any comfort meds you can get, to help you, with the wd/s?

Just the lope, really. I took another 40ish a couple hrs ago and my stomach seems fine.
I do have Gabapentin, I always save some up so I can take extra when I run out of Morphine,

 

[helpingout]

Dude you’re going to die to get high on diarrhea pills.

This is coming from a dude who overdosed on loperamide. So maybe don’t do this. You have Gabapentin it’s the miracle for opioid withdrawal.

How about getting some buprenorphine?

It’s pleasant in its effect when naive. Maybe you could stay sick while you go through the process of acquiring it.

Even methadone is safer.

Come on dude Let’s be life affirming and joyous.

Things aren’t terrible yet. They’re bad. But they can get so much worse.

Go get on methadone if you need a full agonist. If not get some buprenorphine. There’s fucking hotlines to get bupe dude. Let’s not die today okay?

That was what I was talking about, that and clonidine, and well benzos are harder to get across the pond.

I hope you get better soon. I know that your other medical problems are a nightmare. Being unhealthy, sucks. My problems are not as mearly as bad but they make living a life normal hard/nearly impossible.

I could only try to imagine what you must go through. Which, unfortunately must really suck.

The extremes you have gone to get hospitalized and some relief, make me reel in horror. They must be so bad I can't even imagine.

I truly wish you the best, I know that probably doesn't mean much , but there are of us here who do care.

Thanks
That actually does mean a lot

I can mayybbeeeee get a beta blocker. It's not clonidine, but may help with tachycardia/hypertension?

A beta blocker would definitely help with tachycardia and hypertension but they can be hard to come off of also.

If you were here, it would be not as much a of problem, also restraint is and can be an issue. However OCD, can actually be beneficial in terms of pain and an keeping your usage under control. Sad but true.IK.

As in limiting your usage; and keeping tolerance low and having emergency backups to control, over useage.

Yeah, I am not perfect but chronic pancreatitus and BS laws has taught me to prepare for emergencies.

I have read that British laws( until the later 1960's) treated drug usage as more of a medical and not a criminal problem.

Unfortunately times have changed and not for the better, for our friends across the pond. The US is also truly a nightmare in this regard.

Honestly, I am mad at left but realistically the right is also to blame; over here. No where to go, and no one with any concern in power.

Considering, the fact that our Congress under Obama declared war on prescription opiods and Republicans at that time, followed in lock step basically.

Unfortunately for political reasons no one in or any; large number ever sticks up for legimate pain patients and those in misery. No one with power cares.

I don't have it as bad, at least not now as you do. However, I can understand too some extent the misery and frustration caused by our governments. ( Neither side of the political isle is an ally).

I guess they think over here, that allowing weed to be sold in many states legally is a cure. Look the other way, but at the same time trying to legislate pain away. Fucking retards. Weed can't help real serious pain.

Unfortunately, now both of our countries has treated real medical problems and even lumped recreational usage and real medical problems into the same category.

Decades ago the pot shops and state decriminalized would have been great.

But on the other hand the opiod laws for pain patients have turned cruel and become an institutionalized form of creating misery for so many, tens of millions here.

Over there it is worse from what I understand.

The BS opiod crisis in America( this shit started and got worse under Obama, which is a cruel irony) and has caused legit pain patients to suffer.

Yes pain patients were stuck when the Republicans basically did not fight back and for their own selfish reasons didn't stop this nonsense over here.

Which started from the left and was followed by the right.

The illegal fentanyl crises followed and the death toll exponentially increased and now things are worse and getting stoned, doesn't really help chronic severe pain.

Sorry to ramble on but, it seems like the most vulnerable are real victims on the war on drugs. Also over here more are dead and suffering is way, way up.

Huh, a lose, lose situation that apparently good and legal weed can't solve.

I hope you can get more pain relief. Your situation seems almost if not completely untenable

But, I sincerely hope things can improve for you. But please don't hurt yourself even more for some temporary relief.

I have read about some of things you have done to get hospitalized to get relief.

It truly saddens and sickens me that a person would have to go to those extremes; because of the shitheads in power, make those in pain suffer needlessly.

I know there is nothing I can write that will help; but to a certain extent I understand and sincerely sympathize.🫩
