This is a little anecdotal report from someone who has experienced opiate withdrawal on many occasions. I've gone on opiate binges ranging anywhere from a few days to my longest of a year and a half. I'm currently on day three of a withdrawal after spending the last month or so using heroin and oxycodone, IVing the entire time. Unless I really overdo it, I usually find my withdrawal symptoms to be somewhat survivable during the day, but once the evening sets in and sleep seems far from possible I search for something to pass the time. The last two withdrawals I've been experimenting with Nitrous Oxide as a withdrawal aid.

Around 1am I hit the adult video store and bought a box of 50 whip-its and a cracker and retired to my room. I put on South Park and started cracking. The procedure goes as follows:

- Crack whip-it, inhale, hold, exhale.
- Evaporate into some sea of wa-wa dissociation.
- As soon as you remember you have a body, repeat.

NO2 is a powerful anesthetic and as such it'll knock out every symptom you have while you're on it. At least that's my experience. The first hit relieved my restless body and the rest of them, well, I was gone. Eventually I was lying on my back drooling like a retard, and every five minutes or so double-loading the canisters into the cracker and experiencing something similar to sleep. After a few hours of this I was so mashed I couldn't continue, and after stumbling outside to have a cigarette, passed out for 6 hours. I awoke drenched in sweat feeling like death, but this is day three after all.

Medically, I can't say it's safe to do, and I do feel more tired today than I would have expected, but I'm somewhat comfortable. I might do it again tonight, but seriously that stuff makes you feel like shit after hitting it for 2 straight hours. Anyway, dissociatives perform as expected, and not being in your body during an opiate detox can be relieving. One might get the same sort of effect from DXM or Ketamine.
 
That is a good idea I haven't actually seen anything regarding nitrous oxide used during opioid wd. I can definitely see how being dissociated and basically under anesthesia could make you feel much more comfortable.
This makes me want to try this.

Thanks
 
If you want to get the absolute most out of your nitrous oxide, do a small dose of ketamine however any dissociative should be okay however I'm speaking from experience and I don't like ketamine or dxm. The best way to do it is have a small ketamine dose in the 30mg-40mg area and once it settles (usually within 20min of insufflation) a nitous oxide ballon will take you out of this world. Not only is it amazing and beyond words but the effects are nearly identical with the exception of onset and lenght so ketamine is just going to be your base and when you want to get something special/more you take the nitrous, when that is over you are back to base which is the ketamine. This is one of the only ways I find nitrous to be worth your time. It takes you to the most euphoric psychedelia immaginable, DMT psychedelia except it's very euphoric so its hard not to like it.
 
This is an interesting thread. IMO NO2 doesn't have to be in knockout doses to ease WD symptoms. Some countries (South Africa, among a few others) use NO2 instead of benzodiazepines in detoxing alcoholics. I'm not sure the administration routine, though, but I understand taking nitrous eases the withdrawals. Of course, you'd need to use a hell of a lot of nitrous; you'd probably need some medical grade canisters, but these are hard to source. Otherwise you'd need to buy a LOT of cream chargers to last 5-odd days.
 
I would have never though of this, but it makes sense now that I think about it. The only thing that has me confused is how your able to get 6 hours of sleep/relief from the canisters. Given the short half life pf the substance I just don't get it. I can defiantly see the benefits right after dosing but I don't understand how it could last that long.

But hey this is good to hear. I will for sure be trying this myself. Could you imagine how nice it would be to have one of the medical tanks with the masks that allow you to breath both air and No2. Pop a benzo or 2 and hit the tank..that would be the easiest w/d ever.

This is of course speculation, as I have no experience with this.
 
Yeah, it works but not good enough for me. I once went through a case, 12 boxes of 24 from early morning to mid-evening trying to fight withdrawal.

If you had some K or MXE you could probably make just as much No2 last 3 days. But I was very sick, very bored and had nothing to do. At the very least buy them online for way way way less than the porn shops.
 
I wish there was some safe-ish way to anesthetize yourself through withdrawals. That said, Ketamine (as being the best choice of the common d/a drugs, namely pcp and mxe) is a hell of a withdrawal aid. Its primary effects take away the physical discomfort immediately. I believe there is some kind of benefit from the nmda effect as well. Purely psychologically it doesn't help much, other than relieving the stress of the physical symptoms.

Anyhow, while nitrous would be a nice break in the midst of some heavy w/d, I don't see how you could use it regularly without a tank. Even then, it would be kind of a dangerous idea without prep and supervision, and I can't imagine it'd be conducive to good health to gas yourself for days on end.
