Heroin making me sick...

So here's the deal. Im at work right now...and i have to be here for another 3 hours. then right when i get off im supposed to go to my other job for a 6 hr shift. normally this would be fine, but ive been getting high, and i feel like shit. ive already thrown up twice since ive been here. Is there anything i can do to get better faster? i cant hold anything down...not even a soda, or goldfish...i wanna keep smoking my stuff too...anyone have any insight on this?
 
it sounds like hes getting sick from being high. this also happened to me sometimes when i was using opiates and id like to know if anything can be done about it.
 
lots of ginger root in any form. its not a cure but it helps. Mint tea also helps.
dont smoke more for a while. I dont think that will help any time soon. Smoke pot if you can.
 
ya i feel like shit from having too much in me i think..with not enough food. i used to be addicted but now i just use a few times a month...so i can keep my tolerance down...and it seems like if i smoke at night, the next day i feel like dog shit...cant hold any food down..im reluctant to take any pepto bismal (sp) because i heard it can make you more constipated...which is like adding fuel to the fire..haha
 
Yeah, I used to be like that until the changeover happened... at first I was getting sick because I was using, then one day I was cruising nicely on my shit, and then I was getting sick because I wasn't using. :)

I never found anything that particularly helped - I just had to make sure I gave myself enough time to haul ass downstairs to the bathrooms that didn't get used much before I puked, and ride it out. This one time, I projectile vomited blackcurrent juice all over the show - it looked like someone'd had a -really- messy miscarriage in there. I was tempted to leave it to make the janitor shit herself but I'm not that harsh, I cleaned it up.

Whatever you do, DON'T pop benzos. I did that once thinking that because it was AFTER, it would help calm me down - after falling asleep several times at my desk I pleaded sickness and went home... spent the busride constantly dropping off and drooling down my front while the other bus patrons gave me the skeevy eye... not my finest moment!
 
the most accsesable form of ginger would probably be some room temp ginger ale that was at least half flat. I know it doesnt sound good but it will help. The less carbonation the better.
Watch out for the H. You sound like yer on the verge of another habit. hope you feel better.:)
 
any type of ginger is right, ginger beer is the best because it has a lot of raw ginger in it. It is a little "spicy" but it will help to kill the nausea really well, or at least make it more bearable. or you could get the pickeled ginged they serve at sushi houses. it tastes better
 
I think the crystalized would help, but i think it has ALOT of sugar in it. thats not the best thing for nausea. You can also get ginger powder and make pills out of it. They sell those pre-made but theyre kind of expensive. You can find those at whole foods i suspect.
 
How about not getting high at work like an asshole junkie? This is the shit that perpetuates the negative stigma against opiates!

uh i, and many others, can function just fine on opioids whether working, going to school, doing calculus homework... don't be so quick to judge and assume
 
ur prolly doing to much. that or ur dealer got better shit and it doesnt take as much to get u fucked up

I got like that like 3x last week
 
^ You could be getting a fentanyl analog instead of diamorphine. Be careful.

To the OP. There isn't much you can do since you're at work. I would suggest promezathine (phenergan) if you could get it. It seems work well for nausea, but it can also increase CNS depression, and it isn't even available OTC in the U.S.

Ginger is your next best option. I swear by ginger root capsules and ginger ale. I take ginger root capsules every single day because I am very susceptible to motion sickness and it seems to help me quite a bit. It helps with all nausea, and is very cheap. $3.88 for a bottle of 100 pills.

But will kindly wait till I add my two cents...;)

Ginger is a little overpowering for some, especially some of the root ginger preparations that health food shops sell. The 'taste-shock' alone can actually push nausea into vomiting from my experience.
 
opioids stimulate the chemoreceptor trigger zone. The CTZ is located at the base of the brain. When stimulated, the CTZ produces nausea and vomiting. Most narcotics I've run into have a tendency to do this, especially at high doses, but not neccesarily. Are you new to opioids? I reacted similiarly when I first started but it eventually went away. My advice is to just not eat, or drink. You will feel like shit, but it will go away. Dont smoke cigarettes. It's also possible your dope was cut with something other than opioids that is disturbing your GI... who fucking knows good luck.
 
^^Ginger ale is the accompanyment of poppy tea, pills, or Heroin. Keeps you hydrated, gives me some carbs (I can't eat on opiates), and keeps my stomach settled. The CO2 helps your stomach for some reason.
