Scenario:
Ive been an opiate addict for 15 years now. Until the last couple of years i was the standard in and out of prison, no job, heroin user, and by 22 i was on my 3rd prison trip. Thats when i decided to switch to methadone. Methadone was great, as its a more manaeable addiction, and allowed me to regain a somewhat normal life, with a job, car, etc. But i was still tied to the clinic.
QUESTION:
Which is when i heard about loperamide. Im not here to argue about its merits, for me, it absolutely works. However ive noticed that when i dose it (around 300 or 400 mgs daily) im physically unable to do things i would be able to normally. For instance i use a drill in my work. Doing something as simple as holding the drill out at arms length, becomes physically impossible, as essential tremors immediately start, and eventually complete failure to hold any sort of weight.
Ive also noticed that if i go to lift or move something that is any sort of weight, my body physically will not do it.
Now let me make this clear, im not talking about something where its just really hard to do, i mean my muscles physically WILL NOT function. Things that i would normally be able to lift or move, if i begin to move them, within 10 seconds my body begins to give out, and no matter what i do i cant stop my muscles from bascially refusing to work. If this continues i may have to switch back to methadone.
My thoughts:
Knowing that lopermide can cause heart issues, and is a calcium channel blocker, and because of the fact that its not that im physically not strong enough, but that my muscles seem to just be incapable of functioning, im thinking it has something to do with the amount of oxygen my heart is providing.
But with methadone (which is extremely similar in molecular structure and also a potassium channel blocker) i had never experienced that before.
Does anyone else have any similar experience with high dose loperamide? Or any other worthwhile input
(I dont give a shit about the "dangers" of it. Im 29 and alive and not in prison so im already beating the projected results)
