Currently in opioid withdrawal. I read a study somewhere that for an average person, the minimum dose of Loperamide needed for it to be able to cross the Blood Brain Barrier was 37mg.
I quickly googled it to be sure I was remembering correctly, and that AI-answer that appears before any actual search results said that the minimum dose needed was 50mg....which fair enough, that's not too far off, but it went on to say that most people take doses of 400-800mg a day of Loperamide to abuse it.
I'm sorry, but that is 200-400 pills! That's enough to give a fucking Kaiju a Ventricular Storm.

EDIT: I've taken 56mg. Slightly above the minimum plus I'm only like 105lbs and I'm tryna get well, not high.
 
I could be wrong here but I thought loperamide didn’t cross the BBB which is why it effectively doesn’t get you high, though will help prevent you from getting dopesick. I swear I remember reading that if I did cross the BBB it would be a very strong opiate and would likely kill most people in the doses needed to use it to get well.

Maybe it just doesn’t cross the BBB enough? I don’t know, like I said I could be completely wrong. I never looked into it as an aid for opiate WD as even just 1 Imodium is enough to stop me shitting completely for a month. I refuse to touch the stuff for even normal use. I can’t imagine taking 30+ mg of it, I’d likely never shit again in my life.

Edit - forgot the original point of OP/my post - yes google AI answers are known to give potentially(and very often is) dangerously incorrect information. I always skip AI answers/summaries because at best they’re usually only partly true. At worst they give information that will get people killed if they take it as fact. AI generated content has no business being the top result on a search engine and I personally don’t search anything important on google any longer because of it, as I’ve found often times even the linked top results are copy-pasted information of googles AI answers.

Who the fuck would trust google ai for doses?

That is a fucked amount of lope i never took more then 16mg back in the day for wd ffs
 

Informative. Keep dose as low as possible. Once the shits start take 12mg and wait half and hour, 12mg if need be. Another half hour and another 12mg. Still no good? Another 12mg. I wouldn't advise taking more than 48mg a day.

Taking into account other meds or medical conditions.

Don't use it to get high.

Once stable drop full dose in oner once a day, reducing 12mg a day until final twelve, then six, then 3,2,1(if tablet than can be halved).

I'm not a doc so only my experience.

Any heart conditions? Don't.
 
Still view anticholinergic's like DPH/Benadryl are far safer since the mild delirium actually stops you worrying too much about shitting fury in the loo. I use pepto at 60 ~ 120ml when I got mild food poisoning.
