So let me just preface this by saying that I completely understand the hell that people go through when it comes to opioid withdrawal, as this may upset some people. I watch my partner go through withdrawal almost weekly at the moment. I also understand that some people are going to straight away call bullshit, and that's fine, I get it.
Firstly a little background on me. Both my parents were heroin addicts, and my mum used all through her pregnancy with me. When I was born I was placed straight into NICU but apparently I showed no signs of withdrawal whatsoever. I have previously had a methamphetamine addiction which lasted about 4 years, 2 years of which I was an IV user.
I then was introduced to opiates. The first time I ever tried an opiate I took a 40mg targin. I felt nothing from it. The next time I took 2 x 40mg targin and I felt amazing. My opiate use was very sporadic and I only ever used for maybe 1-2 days then nothing for a week or 2.
Fast forward to today, currently my partner and I are using on an almost daily basis. We are splitting everything down the middle, and going shot for shot. At the moment we would be using for about 3 weeks straight at a time, sometimes with periods of use backing straight onto the next. So using for 6 weeks at a time with no break. We are going through 28 x 16mg Jurnista (Hydromorphone), 8 x 8mg Jurnista, 60 x 4mg Dilaudid (Hydromorphone) and about 1g of heroin per week.
So roughly I am using 376mg of Hydromorphone and 1.5g of heroin every 3 weeks period of use.
When we run out, my partner will start going into withdrawal within about 12 hours and will just get worse and worse until we use again, or until he has Suboxone, but he needs to wait until he is in withdrawal to use it, as if he uses Suboxone too early it will throw him into precipitated withdrawal. I am currently using Suboxone when we run out as well, but I can comfortably IV 8mg of Suboxone, sometimes almost within an hour of my last shot and be fine.
To this day, I have NEVER experienced a single symptom of withdrawal!! Nothing. Not even just simply getting goosebumps. I cannot explain it, and nor can anyone else.
We even decided to test it one day. Towards the end of a big binge, my partner administered me with a shot of Naloxone, which is supposed to put you straight into precipitated withdrawal...I didn't feel any real noticeable differences. How can that even happen?!
Everyone I have spoken to about it, I'm pretty sure does not believe me at all. This even includes the doctors/nurses/case workers at the Alcohol & Other Drugs service.
I have never met another person like me. No one has even heard of something like this being possible.
A while ago I did a DNA test and from that I got genome results, and I actually have a gene mutation that directly affects opioids. I have a reduced analgesic affect from all opioids as well as reduced likelihood of dependence. I did further research into this specific gene and found research papers on pub med. None of which said anything about reduced/non-existent withdrawal symptoms.
I am seeking any information that anyone might have! If you know or have heard of this sort of thing before, or if you know anyone that has this same "ability" as I like to call it. I'm just wanting to shed some sort of light on this, as from what I can tell so far, I'm essentially a medical marvel haha!
