Every once in a while whilst browsing this site I'd come across a thread like this, chuckle, and move along to converse with the adults in the room. Even in my darkest moments of teenage desperation I never considered trying to get high off Immodium because the idea seemed fucking absurd. I've heard of kids getting a buzz off all sorts of nightmarish OTC shit that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, and I've never heard Immodium spew out of the mouths of even the most retarded fuck ups I've met.
Over the last few months I'm suffered from idiopathic bowel irritation. I've never really dealt with this before....I'm pretty sure I've never taken loperamide in my life before this point. My guts have been bubbling furiously, I've needed to take a shit every hour and when you're a full time student it's annoying as fuck. Today out of bare necessity I bought a bottle of generic anti-diarrhea pills. I took four, and after an hour it maybe helped a little but I still felt unstable. I said fuck it and took a small handful.
30 minutes later I feel a warm opiate rush coming on. Although I'm relatively opiate naive, I have a larger natural tolerance than most and it takes about 25 mg of oxy to get me high even though I take opiates like 3 times a year. I was flabergasted at first. I mean, are you shitting me? The retards were right all along? There's an opiate high sitting on the shelf of aisle 6 in Stop & Shop this whole time? Did I waste my entire fucking childhood getting high on DXM and cognac when I could have been nodding complacently in the back of the classroom?
Nope. It's just the warmth. My pupils are constricted. My bowel irritation is gone and the opiate snappishness has set in, but the euphoria is sure as fuck absent from school. There's no way anyone who has even a small amount of experience with real opiates would mistake this for something worthwhile.
Oh well, back to reality. Stay safe kids.

Logic = 1. Transcendence didn't get euphoria from using loperamide the first time at an unknown dose. 2. Transcendence represents the emotions and physiology of every other human on earth. 3. Therefore, no one in the world will experience euphoria from loperamide (the very first time at an unknown dose).
Loperamide took awhile to grow on me. The first ten or so times I took it, no matter what the dose was, I didn't get that much euphoria. I would take it, and within 30mins a very dirty high would come on that would make my eyes incredibly droopey and red (keep Visine handy for the first few times).
After doing it a few times, I realized that several hours after the droopey, dirty high wore off, I would be in a better mood and have a difficult time shutting the fuck up when talking to people.
When I tried taking loperamide again, this time to quit suboxone, I took 80mg (my standard dose is between 60 - 140mg) and didn't feel anything for an hour and a half except tiny waves of warmth. Then, a little before two hours, I felt a high much like poppy pod tea come on. It was a warm, fuzzy, happy feeling - not as euphoric as oxy but more euphoric, for me, than tramadol, kratom, darvocet and suboxone (all of which I find euphoric in some way). I guess it is best compared to methadone.
I'd take the loperamide high any day over hydrocodone because, while hydrocodone may make me feel like an A for about 45 mins, loperamide makes me feel like a solid B+ for 4 to 6 hours, and I feel kinda good for a whole 20 - 30 hours.
Having quit opiates now, I find loperamide to be my biggest challenge as it is so easily attainable. I haven't taken anything, including lope, in 70 days, but sometimes I think about buying it and taking a quick, creative vacation.
