Can you plug

Not to get more out of a benzo (or in my case sometimes Flexeril), but to treat medical issues, plugging can be a godsend. I've always battled ulcers and I can usually keep my stomach in check now through a good diet and yogurt daily. I have to keep on this regularly though or I'm in major pain and I won't be able to keep anything down.

But when I neglected a healthy diet, and let it get out of hand, I've plugged Flexeril when I've been suffering from severe back spasms. Man, the first time I plugged Flexeril, I was in so much pain, and I was praying that it would work (just 10mg too). Sho nuff, the muscles relaxed and I got some sleep after being in agony for hours. I'll never forget how relieving that experience was. Felt like taking a stay-well dose when you're really dope sick.

I don't know about getting any more out of benzos/muscle relaxant by plugging. I didn't notice any increase in strength with muscle relaxants or benzos. But the onset seems faster.

So, yeah, there are definitely practical reasons for plugging. Whatever works when you're in pain, or if you're having a panic attack and you're stomach/GI won't let you keep anything down.

btw, Shambles, thanks for letting folks know about oil-solubility and benzos. And Z-drugs too, right? Most pluggers use some kind of lube anyhow so whats a little olive oil? Comfort and safety first.

RIP Tobala. A great gentleman sorely missed.
 
Ive read through a few other threads asking the same question and the overwhelming response is that you will experience the meds you mentioned less because the rectal cavity and even the nasal cavity doesnt absorb whatever these meds are made of(ingredients mentioned in threads) simply do not get absorbed on those places and it will kick in slower as it enters the bloodstream through whatever other place they end up, or something like that. I have just resorted to taking them orally but I did experiment with snorting and putting under tongue and only extra effects I got from doing it those ways were a burning nasal passage and a nasty taste that stayed in my mouth for hours. Just pop them. I IV alot of meds and I wont even try it on these because of what I have heard from others who have tried it, its simply a waste if done any other way than by mouth.

I'm not 100% about Z-drugs cos I've never been a fan but I'm fairly sure they are also pretty much water-insoluble so would require oils/fats in the plugging liquid to be effective. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to lube and plugging - bit of a spit and polish is fine for me cos I hate slimy starfish situations :!

Good point about the benefits of plugging for those with GI problems too - often forget that there can be very good reasons to use besides the obvious speed of onset and (often) reduced dosages with many drugs. Your reasons are probably a bit more valid than those in the grand scheme and a very good tip for those that struggle to keep their meds/other drugs down long enough without nausea :)
 
Cheers, man. Z-drugs are not water-soluable. A little extra research tells me that, so might as well put it out there now.

As far as it goes re: the oily starfish, I'm going to use that as a DJ name or a band name, with your permission of course. ;)

But while I'm old-school, and I understand and am totally comfortable with the ol' spit-n-polish (Bill Burroughs and the carbolic soap?), I'm all about making plugging a tiny bit less scary for the legions of BLers who seem to feel that plugging leads to anal rupture, intestinal bleeding and permanent lifestyle changes.
 
I know it's an old thread and I can't back this up. But I read somewhere due to the first past metabolism in the liver I think... it's 50% loss for swallowing or 30% loss for Plugging...

I may have been high and that could be codiene I was reading....

Anyhow, I am high now so I will just post this probably incorrect info.
 
So wil glycerin work witj ativan to dissolve for plugging or even snorting the solution?
O just got 30 .5mg ones...really small doses..and im not sure they help for anxiety or not.i got em todsy and ended taking almost all but the ten pills i have left...so i need to maximize solubility and also the best roa..anyone wana chime in on this?i really need help...i have a high benzo tolerance and ativans arent strong at all to me.i need to save wat i havr left for panick attackd and also for coming off my suboxone..i also have hydroxyzinr and clonidine me gabapentin anf someabien.and also mirtazapine....
Im thinking of asking the doc for a higher dose of ativan,or maybe for some klonopin,oxazepam,valium,xanax or even gabapentin...i just dont wana look like a pill seeker
