How was the best nod of my life

First of all, I hope someone read this, cause I really want to share with people how was probably the best feeling of my 25 years of life.

First of all, I have been doing drugs since 3 or 4 years ago. I began with "soft drugs" life Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), DXM, Tramadol, etc; after doing some connections thanks to the internet, I started doing Coke, lots of LSD, benzos, opiates, Ketamine (this was the best), and even IVed some drugs like Diazepam every night.

Well, because of my lack of sense, perforamance at work, and really bad fights with my family, my addiction began to slowly stop when I ODed on Xanax, alcohol, god knows how many seizure medications, and Quetiapine; yeah, I crashed badly.
After a day in the hospital with lots of IV insulin and oral Diclofenac, I somewhat managed to retake my life doing only "soft drugs". Right now, I'm working ok in my job and the relationship with my family it's going smoothly.

The nod
Today I did 2g of Gabapentin at work (around 2 PM) with food. When I came home, I did 2mg Xanax, 480mg Codeine, 1g Gabapentin, and 2mg Clonazepam. I ate some snacks.
Picture that I was playing with my PS3 in my room, almost totally was dark, and I was relaxed.
Suddenly, I start to nod BADLY, to the point that I had to stop playing and tried to stay "awake" browsing some sites, but the nod was so strong that I have no other option that fall to my bed with my headphone and listen to music while moving my legs and arms (specially my legs) feeling so much pleasure that my breathing was extremely slow.
I was nodding so hard that everything was sureal. I didn't understand what was happening for real, because I do drugs like Codeine, Tramadol, DXM, benzos, Gabapentin, Pregabalin, etc. every week. But never, really, never felt a nod so strong from Codeine, and did experience so much pleasure from the trip.

I really wonder what happened. It felt like I was doing lots of Morphine, my breathing was so slow and light that I think it was a little dangerous, and the pleasure -oh god, how I achieved this.

Thanks for reading and peace guys.

 

That was very descriptive-- I feel like I was there. Sounds like a great nod; but for the love of science be careful! Mixing downers like that can be a recipe for disaster.

That said, I have heard good things about gabapentin...

 

That "best feeling" was your body dying. Codeine is one of the safest opiates/opioids (it has a 600 mg ceiling) but when combining it with benzos you are risking death. While it is natural to want to experiment, noone should be combining disparate substances.

Dava: Gaba is like tramadol in that only a small number of people will even gain a noticeable effect. One time my mother in law was picking up a morphine script for me at a pharmacy in Butuan and the pharmacist, knowing she regularly bought morphine, told her she had a friend selling what was left of a large morphine purchasen and gave mom the phone number. A week later I was heading up to Butuan and had Rizza call the lady.

The lady turned out to be a government pharmacist responsible for 5 provinces. Her husband had recently died from prostate cancer and she offered to sell 80 odd tabs of 10 mg morphine. The price was right so we agreed. In the rnd she gave me 300 odd tabs of Gaba for free and a couple of similar substances. I found it totally worthless and still have most of them though they are out of date. Just my luck.

 

Thank you for reading guys, and specially you Dave, I am happy that all that text did make some sense :D
Yeah, Gabapentin feels really good, if it wouldn't be cause of the strong tolerance it develops, it's by far better than benzos for me. And not the same goes to Pregabalin (Lyrica) which also feels good, hell, even better sometimes, but it is too much speedy by itself. It also gives me the worst munchies 8(.

rachamin: My friend, you are totally wrong. Tramadol is a centrally acting opioid close to Codeine because they are both prodrugs that at first have mild μ-opioid receptor agonist properties, but also both of them, being prodrugs, are synthesized in the liver to Morphine (Codeine) and M1 (Tramadol), excluding other less important compounds.
We all here know that Codeine abusers try to get as many Morphine as possible (with homemade techniques like CWE,GFJ, etc.), although it is supposed that the liver cannot metabolize more than 400mg of Codeine (just personally, I don't think so, or at least, I believe 400mg as some kind of overall roof).
Now, Tramadol, being a weak μ-opioid agonist as we already said, it is metabolized to M1 (or o-desmethyl-tramadol), which is as ... let's say, it is so sweet as Morphine, and the duration it's a lot longer (although M1 and Morphine feels a lot different, being a Morphine session feel like... 'less dirty'?).

The point is, Tramadol has also serotonergic properties, so it is not at all like Gabapentin nor any GABA agonist, it is almost the contrary.

BTW, how do we know that drugs like GABA "expires" at a specified date? I mean, in the case of Gabapentin, does the molecule become unstable or something?

 

Usually, when pharma companies set expiry dates, it's based off of either accelerated or real-time aging studies, where the efficacy of the drug in question is tested at the endpoint to ensure that it has the same effect as at the start. Often, the time chosen also has a marketing component; you don't want someone to be able to stock up and keep said drug forever, even if it is fully stable. However, in many cases the time is set off of an observed reduction or loss of effect. It all depends on the compound in question.

 

Gabapentin is good, but Lyrica is amazing...
Everyone here should try it.
Tramadol is good too, but having an anxious personality I personally like GABAergics better, specially benzos, well I did, I quit them early this year.
I do still love drinking with my friends or trying a carbamate from time to time.

 

Delphinen: Tramadol also has major SSRI properties that act synergystically with its one strand opioid agonism. Like nabulphine and butorphanol only a certain percentage of humans can gain discernible pyschoactivity from any of the 3 substances. In most cases tramadol is worthless if the user isn't opiate naïve. In my country of residence tramadol is OTC and I have a mayonaisse jar half full of them as well as 10 grammes of its main metabolite which ridiculously is being sold as an RC. That you find it worth using is great, but you are part of a very distinct minority. Personally, with its SSRI properties and convulsant inducement at 450 mgs I am happy most find it worthless. I feel that the American refusal to Schedule it has led to lax regulating the worldover and so people have this false sense of security about the substance. Any substance inducing convulsions at 8X the therapeutic dosage needs to be treated very carefully.


400 mg isn't codeine's ceiling, it is 600 mg on an average adult. You are correct that psychoactivity in codeine is related to its metabolic conversion to morphine. The process is O-demethylation. However, its metaboloic ceiling renders it the third safest opiate/opioid on the market (nabulphine and Bupe are #s 1 and 2), but only on its own. When engaging in poly-substance use/mis-use, as you do, you are risking your life. The fact that you found shallow breathing to be a plus is indicative of a lack of knowledge (at best).

As for Gaba falling out of date, the manufacturer expiration has no correlation to actual substance viability, especially if stored correctly. That said, all substances have a limit to viability (radioactive half-life is a bitch) and the manufacturer's date is an indicator of how much viability remains.

 

Aaaah, I should have said, "See Dave's post" about "dates." Oh well...
