As of today I'm 23 days free from any type of opiate for the first time in three years. I'll sum my story up quickly because most opiate junkie stories are very similar in progression. Had a couple operations which Introduced me to Hydros, Oxycodone, and when they ran out I learned I could get poppies online and make some very strong opiate tea that knocked a well hardened oxy user on his ass. After a few years of this I knew I had to stop because the dea was starting to catch on to the poppy scene and I had never experienced withdrawals before, wow! was that an eye opener! I knew I was up shit Creek without a paddle. So what does anyone who is suffering from opiate withdrawals do? You try to find some way to ease the never ending suffering. I learned via the internet you could high dose loperamide to alleviate almost all symptoms of opiate withdrawal. Was it a lie? Nope. You can not only remove all symptoms of withdrawal, you can feel normal and function again with a slight Codeine like high. I thought it was a godsend, but there is no easy way out once you're addicted to opiates. I used lope for about a year and a half and tried to get off it a few times and found the withdrawal stung more than Oxy. The half life of lope is 7 to 11 hours depending on your metabolism so it's not going to get out of your system quickly like oxy with a 4 hour half life. It takes a good 4 days for withdrawals to fully kick In after 3 days of the most Intense panick attacks. Then it's the run of the mill opiate withdrawal symptoms that just never seem to end. So, my point here is this - Do not take high doses of loperamide! You have to pay the piper one way or another and using this crap which is almost identical to fentanyl chemically is doing nothing but prolonging the enviable. I'm 23 days off the lope and I feel so much better than even 5 days ago. Every day is a little better. Still have the anxiety a bit and sleep is so/so just like any other opiate detox at this point.
 
Bro, u have no idea what r talking about. Lops, named OTC methadone, or poor man's done where i live. It's same way replacement therapy, but as long as u know how to use it. U took a very wrong turn of explaining it. For my 10+ year addiction it was the only way out CT. But ur 100% rite about the dangers and consequence. I got to 41 day clean only bc of Lops and have no single reason to understand ur 1 year addiction to it.
 
Loperamide it's self is very addicting and to me the withdrawals are just as bad if not worse I never had heart problems withdrawaling from oxy on an off for 12+ years but I did when I had w/d from lope
 
Someone suggested taking loperamide as a way to handle my WD from a long term shit load a day dhc habit ...was told to get tablets not capsules but capsules was all they had and I felt too shitty to be driving all over the place looking for them .... So took the capsules 2 hours ago and don't feel any different ... Still shitty still miserable with a draw full of pills that I'm just thinking may as well take ?
1st day no pills and it's shit ... Can't sleep , yawning , eyes streaming , but can't sleep ! Grrrr xx
 
The addiction to it is the same as any opiate. Your tolerance increases and you fear the withdrawals because as you said it's the poor man's methadone with almost identical withdrawl symptoms and paws.
 
I started out at 60mg to get rid of withdrawal symptoms but then soon realized all I did was replace one drug for another and had to keep upping the dose to keep the withdrawals at bay. Before I stopped CT I was around 160mg a day.
 
Loperamide will kill you. My daughter fell over dead in her kitchen cooking dinner for her family. Please do not leave your family suffering like I am!
 
That's exactly why I posted my story with it. A small percentage of people can step down from other opiates with it but the large majority with an addiction to opiates just trade one for another and lope as you said is deadly due to its interaction with the calcium channels in the heart. It's better to just bite the bullet and pay the piper so to speak as far as withdrawals go. There is no easy way out.
 
More information please

Good heavens! Do you know how much she had taken? Sometimes this can be determined when a product was purchased, a certain number was found missing and then the problem occurred so it can reasonably be guessed that it was brought home and the missing amount was taken. I am very sorry.

People who swear by lope haven't been addicted to it by itself. It's hell, not to mention horrible for your heart. I'd take IV H withdrawal over it any day. It took me like 3 weeks of physical withdrawal and then like another month of insane anxiety before I started feeling like a normal person. I honestly think the half life is longer than what you stated. When I would take 48mg it would keep me "well" for like 2 and half days. I could take 96mg and itch my ass off and be happy as hell for that same time.
