I didnt even know how to search for this since i couldnt think of keywords to use so my bad if its a repeat topic, just close or delete it, its all good.

But I was thinkin about something i get alot if i do OC (or dope but i aint used that in over a year and aint tryina go back.) my history -used to use alot of dope (diesel) and opiates in the past now i dont. shit i used to do alot of everything but ay.

Anyways

say i do 40mg. snort, yea yea, bla bla, get high whateva whateva, all that old shit.

Ill be sittin there chillin doin my thang. online, watchin tv, chillin, whatever the fuck i do.

When i get in the later stages of it i nod a little (iunno bout yall, but when i do it, i get high right away and all but it starts hittin real hard later on about a hour into shit.)

But when i nod i never just kinda "wake up" from it.

You know how you have a bad dream and you about to get hit by a bus, then you JUMP up and WAKE up like POW right before it hits you? layin in there in bed liek DAMNN, sweaty maybe, heart sped up a little?

I ll be noddin off but then its just like that. i get this sudden BOOM and i open my eyes and JUMP UP in my chair almost, like my body all tense, and my heart racing. like SNAP. "what the fuck just happened!?"
it feels almost like i fell asleep standing up, at the edge of a cliff, and im like "whoo, damn word, im glad i woke up for that one or i woulda fell right off, close call."

i dont know how to explain it really but its like someone went into my brain and really fuckin SLAMMED the switch to "awake."

everytime i snap out of it like that it, feels like i was "catching" myself or some shit. even doe nothing bad happened, or was gonna happen. i get a bad feeling for a snap second afterwards before i realize that everythings OK.

I only get it when i nod offa opiates no other drug is like dat, or even sobriety.

I used to pass out alot cuz of a medical thing and that is alot like how it felt to come back to consciousness from a passin-out episode too. i just thought of that. i always used to ahve a bad feeling coming outta that too til i got full grip of reality.

maybe my brain remembers that and it thinks its the same thing? or who knows maybe thats common with opiates.

iunno. Anyone get this too? it seems liek it might not be somethign thats only me.
 
Nodding off is, usually in rapid sucession, falling into a sleep like state, often laden with dreams, possibly from the supression of REM, and generally lasts for short perioids of time. Your body often becomes so still that your brain starts producing myoclonic jerks, as a defense mechanism to wake you back up. This is common, happens to me all the time.
 
it's funny you mentioned that lacey, I was just thinking about that a few days ago....

happens to me a lot too...and I notice my legs jerk or spasm real quick, just like the above poster described.
 
i don't think snapping out of a nod is related to the "Exploding head syndrome"

it's a very interesting condition but it seems to be related to stress and nodding of in a heroin daze can't be called stresfull :)

my guess it's your body's way of keeping your breathing in check, by releasing a surge of adrenaline when the breating becomes to shallow.

Yeaaaaa exactly like that. it feels liek you were abotu to fall or some shit. thinkin im fallin outta my chair or something.

This shits mad interesting.

its funny too cuz everytime it happens is when you feeling the very best deepest into the nod and its in full force.
 
You know when you're rocking in a chair, and you go so far that you almost fall over backwards, but at the last instant you catch yourself? That's how I feel all the time.

First time I properly nodded (didn't realise it at the time) I kept zoning out to oblivion, then I'd jerk back to reality (wakefulness?), panting and wheezing. I thought that I'd taken too much and my breathing was so shallow that I was passing out.

Ha ha, it's not the most pleasant of experiences....



Respect and Peace
 
well for me when iam nodding towards the end of my oxy high i lay there feeling so good like i cant fall asleep but i kinda am ill start dreaming but iam still sleeping. But ill get so deep into my sleep like state that i almost feel frozen and paralyzed so i just wake myself back up. wierd huh lol.

^^ I really like this quote. :)

Yeah I hate when that happens... it seems like I always seem to slam out of a nod when i'm at my most relaxed point
 
i remember when i first started opiates it would happen to me. if it was late at night and i was in my computer chair and nod out, i would wake up from leaning slighly back in the chair. but only my head would pop up real fast, pushing my back into the chair harder, actully causing me to fall backwards with the whole chair. everytime it happend, i would laugh. enjoy this while you can
 
Opiate Induced Sleep Apnea? That was my first guess.

Opiates depress breathing, and if you're prone to sleep apnea at all, it might be the same thing going on.

(sleep apnea is basically just breathing goes too low, or airway closes, so the body snaps to (I think due to adrenaline, don't count on it though) and wake you up)

Like when GWB choked on a pretzel 8)

All simliar ideas.

Sorry if my post is a little scattered, I am too 8(
