Hi folks,

A few months ago I had Pericarditis and was prescribed 80 pills of 10mg oxycodone. I took 2 daily until the script ran out and noticed many benefits besides just killing the pain from the pericarditis. I noticed I wasn't groggy and I didn't spend my mornings dreaming of going back to bed. I could still feel tired, but it wasn't the soul crushing exhaustion that I'm used to. I just felt happy to be awake and alive. The lack of physical and emotional pain made my life so much better. I have heart problems and I do feel pain from that sometimes, but most of the time I suffer from chronic fatigue; never having any energy. I feel like my whole life is waiting for the moment I can go back to bed. You can't tell a doctor that being tired is "painful" and expect them to understand, but for me, being exhausted is worse than pain. It's hard to feel like life's worth living. I've tried depression medications, adderall, blah blah blah but nothing has ever made me feel so "normal" and content as oxycodone.

I quickly became very fond of the oxycodone, even though I knew it couldn't be a long term relationship. I've been out of it for 3 weeks now and I still can't stop thinking about it. I just want to be able to get out of bed without the pain again. So much so that I've been looking for ways to get the same effect and that's where I found poppy seed tea. I've noticed that most people who talk about it talk about "nodding off" and make it sound like a very intense experience. This isn't what I want. I don't want to lose any awareness of the world around me or get a mind blowing, euphoric high. I just want the pain of being alive to go away. Can I get that from a low dose of PST, or is it simply too strong?

I also noticed people comparing PST to Heroin, which scares me. I have an addictive personality and I don't want to get hooked on heroin or anything like it. Would a very small dose of PST even be comparable to heroin? Is it just too unsafe to use for medical purposes?
 
PST maybe is not as energetic as oxy, but it's an opiate like any other. If you don't take too high a dose you won't nod out, and you'll get that motivational feeling you seek. But you need to find the right kind of seeds. Personally, I prefered poppy pod tea. That was my shit for many years. But I started with seed tea.

If you have an addictive personality, I'd stay away from this. I got addicted very quickly. The problem is this stuff is easy to get legally, so you'll just keep buying more and using more. Be careful.

Bad news. You already are (psychologically) addicted to oxycodone, which is not far off from heroin. As far as poppy seed tea being used medicinally, sure you can use it medicinally--it's most active constituent is morphine, so drinking some poppy seed tea is really no different than swallowing some MS Contin pills, except that you'll never really sure of how many milligrams you took with the PST. However, watch out for tolerance, severe constipation, flu like withdrawals upon discontinuation, and addiction.

But, like I said, you already are psychologically addicted to strong opioids.
 
Being dependent on opiates makes people much much more depressed in the long run. Dont get trapped.
 
PST is a trap, if you really want to dance, yes it will get you there, but I advise anyone to stay away from it. You never know what kind of shit could be on them, sometimes you get seeds that are somniferum but are of the high thebaine variety which can cause grand mal seizures ( happened to me with a bad batch of pods ten or so years ago ) I make seed cake a couple times a year but it's really not worth it.
 
Personally, PST does nothing for me unfortunately,tolerance too high I suspect..

However, I did have a good crack at it, before I joined BL. There's many personal threads & instructions that I used to read up on this forum.

It is addictive, as above warned of though. So be careful, start small & remember you can always increase but never decrease your dose.

Have a read up, use the search engine. There's many accounts of ppl using PST for pain. For HR purposes though, again, as posted above, PST contains many different derivatives of morphine & each batch will differ from the next.

no.
 
I used to use it for arthritis pain, and I began switching between pills and tea because of the dependence I was quickly building. This wasn't my first dance, but it snuck up on me before I realized what happened. When I couldn't get tea, I'd go to the doc in the box for my back pain and pills. I hadn't touched opiates for 2 years before this happened. Also caused me nasty urinary retention and ended up with catheter for 5 days. And that didn't stop me.

If you have an addictive personality and already have a taste for opiates, this is not what you need.
 
Well, if you are using it for physical pain I would say yes, but sounds like you just want the energising feeling back and you will just end up with a habbit...never had a seed habbit, but pods(not the seeds),oxycodone(oral,snorted,injected),hydrocodone,Dilluaid,Morphine in pill forum ect.. but pods, oxy and hydrocodone being my main culprits,now on suboxone and go on vacations with everything I mentioned above...Anyway, just know the honeymoon phase doesn't last forever, then your just taking it to stay well...I would maybe suggest you look into kratom instead, way more energising than Seeds, and feel about the same as 15-20 of oxy/hydro but kinda different...but would try out kratom first, play around with different strains(had a 20 TABLESPOON habbit with that crap trying to not do pills, was full of energy) I know where you are coming from though..the energy part is one of the reason I got hooked on opiates, it made life feel like worth living for me, still does..but experiment with Kratom first if you are looking for energy.

Edit: don't eat 20 tablespoons of Kratom, that was throughout the day and I was shooting 90-200mg of oxy a day, or eating handfulls of hydrocodone/percocets. Start with a tablespoon AT MOST.
 
I second the kratom recommendation...it's far less addicting, and will produce an energy like the oxy did...the PST won't, the main actives in that are morphine and codeine, which tend to be quite sedating.
 
Kratom is both online and ive found it in one apothecary. Id google it and see which places people have given the best reviews, even reddit has sections dedicated to it.
 
PST is just as addictive as any other opiate.

seek it out and indulge every day..... and you're in the game for life buddy.

Yes. This is the truth. You're drinking morphine and codeine (and thebaine as well). Just because it is a tea, doesn't mean it's not serious stuff.
 
i've heard that the PAWS last exceptionally long with PST, way longer than most opiates.
tbh i'd think codeine would be a safer bet.
