Hi everybody. I (unfortunately) have a lot of experience with opiates of all kinds and thought I'd chime in on the loperamide (immodium) issue. I haven't read this entire thread so forgive me if this has been said before. Please keep in mind that individual results may vary.
On the record: I will tell you that immodium doesn't do a damn thing. Getting high off diarrhea medicine is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!!
Off the record: I will tell you to just add Tonic Water. Just look for any tonic water that contains Quinine (should say it right on the front of the label). The tonic water is usually sold by the liter, one liter usually costs $1.00 (US). The Quinine in the tw helps the lope cross the BBB. The following method works best for people who are heavy opiate users and need to keep functioning when the good stuff runs out. Get yourself a couple bottles of loperamide and 5-10 liters of tonic water. Also, pick up a bottle of diphenhydramine (Benadryl). (If you suffer from legitimate pain issues like I do, get a bottle of advil or acetaminophen also, this will help with inflammation based pain).
***Proceed with caution and go SLOW. You can always take more if you need to, but once you take too much, you can't take less. I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice.***
Initial Dose: This is your first dose of loperamide after the last dose of your drug of choice runs out. The amount of loperamide taken will be different for everyone, depending on your level of tolerance. (I was taking between 200mg -300mg of oxy everyday). First thing you do: Start drinking the tonic water. Drink about 1/4 of a liter of TW before you take the lope. Then take 20mg-30mg of loperamide (10-15 pills, 2mg each). Then drink another 1/4 liter of tonic water.
T+ 30mins: Take 800mg of ibuprofen OR 1000mg of acetaminophen (either/or, NOT both). This helps with inflammation. Also, if you have been taking large amounts of vicodin or percocet, your body has grown accustom to acetaminophen, so adding this to your WD strategy can help. I usually wash these down with caffeine (soft drink or coffee) just because I always take my oxy with caffeine. Caffeine goes good with opiates during the day (then stop drinking caffeine at night so you can fall asleep later). Continue sipping on TW occasionally.
T+ 1 hour: Drink another 1/4 liter of TW (you can spread this out, sipping it over time instead of chugging it). Take another 20mg-30mg of loperamide (whatever amount you took an hour ago). Then drink another 1/4 liter of TW. (You should be finishing your first liter of TW around this time).
T+ 1:30 - Take 800mg of ibuprofen OR 1000mg of acetaminophen. Start 2nd bottle of TW, sipping TW occasionally.
T+ 2 hours: You should be feeling a little better by now, and some people will be feeling GREAT!! by now. Depends on individual chemistry. Drink some TW, then take 16mg-26mg of loperamide (8-13 pills, 2mg each). Then drink more TW. (From this point forward, it's not necessary to drink 1/4 liter every time. The important thing is to keep drinking it gradually over time).
T+ 2:30 - Take 600mg of ibuprofen OR 500mg of acetaminophen.
T+ 3 hours: Drink more tw! Take another 16mg-26mg of loperamide. Drink more tw!
T+ 3:30 - Take 600mg of ibuprofen OR 500mg of acetaminophen.
T+ 4 Hours: Drink more tw. Take 16mg-26mg of loperamide. Drink more tw.
T+ 4:30 - Take 600mg of ibuprofen OR 500mg of acetaminophen.
T+ 5 hours: Take 50mg of Diphenhydramine/Benadryl (2 pills, 25mg each). Continue sipping tw.
T+ 6 hours: Drink some tw. Take 16mg-26mg of loperamide. Drink more tw.
T+ 6:30 - Take 600mg of ibuprofen OR 500mg of acetaminophen. Continue sipping tw.
T+ 7 hours: Take 50mg of diphenhydramine.
T+ 8 hours: Drink tw. Take 12mg-22mg of loperamide. Drink tw.
T+ 8:30 - 600mg of Ibuprofen OR 500mg of acetaminophen.
T+ 9 hours: Take 50mg of diphenhydramine
T+ 10 hours: Drink tw. Take 10mg-20mg of loperamide. Drink tw.
*That's it! By now you should be feeling anywhere from A LOT better, to "normal", to holy **** I feel GREAT!!!
**As Always with WD's, The First Day is the worst day. It takes awhile (sometimes up to 24 hours) for the TW and Lope to really start working. But once it does, you will feel a lot better. By day 2, there should be no wd's at all.
***From this point on, just continue sipping tw all day and taking 10mg-20mg of Lope every 2 hours (along with 600mg or 500mg of Ibuprofen/Acetaminophen if you want). Then, at night, start taking the benadryl every couple hours until you fall asleep. This combo should give you a good "nod" most nights. After the first day or two, I usually on average drink 1 -2 liters of tonic water per day; and take about 40 - 60 lopes per day (4-6 pills every 2 hours). Buy the generic loperamide, they are really cheap and work just as good as brand name Immodium.
***Once again, this method is for moderate to heavy opiate users. If you are opiate naive and don't have a high tolerance, then DO NOT use this method. If you are looking to "get high" DO NOT use this method. Like I said, getting high off diarrhea medicine is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!
Hope this helps someone. Peace.
