Heroin Sick to my stomach

[TheManWithNoName]

I have been using opiates off and on for the last two years and about a year ago I started shooting dope. I had legals so I wasn't using every day and I had to go away for over 3 months so I had some clean time. Now that I can use whenever, I, of course used again and again so now I have a habit. Its been a little over 2 weeks that I have been using everyday save for one or two days a week where I just slept all day. I was getting ok stuff but a friend I met in rehab introduced me to a guy with much better shit. At first I could only pick up from him when my friend was around but now I have his number and can call him whenever. Ever since I have been using his shit I have felt sick to my stomach, a little nauseas. Even when I do a decent amount something doesn't feel right. Is it my body getting used to the higher quality stuff or maybe there is a cut in the dope causing this. I have been using less frequently because the new stuff is better so i don't need as much or as often to get high. I know this is all speculation but I just was thinking maybe it's just my body getting used to using all the time. I haven't used all day every day in almost a year and a half and even then I was just eating OC 80's once, maybe twice a day. Not shooting up 3 times a day or even staying even for days getting high then sleeping for almost a full day.

It's probably cut with something that does not agree with your body. You could also be doing too much - nausea and feeling "wierd" are two symptoms of mild overdose.

The best thing to do is stop using it.

Yes I agree with sekio. The dope might be too strong. You might not agree with the cut physically.

It seems like I have got a sour stomach. You think it could be from all the cigarettes I was smoking. I don't smoke unless I use and I have been smoking about 2 packs a day for the last two weeks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ondansetron / Zofran it is good anti puking medicine. Id try it for a few days. It blocks serotonin, SSRI medications are not affected.

Wiki also says its used for opiate withdrawl?

I'm saying it's either you react to whatever opioid like that from the very beginning or you throw up for like 3 times and then it's totally the opposite. This is how opioid agonists like morphine work (it's not heroin causing your high, that's why I'm mentioning morphine) with chronic usage. They may cause nausea and vomiting at the beginning of usage and then it acts in a completely opposite manner actually blocking the vomiting reflex. This is how it works on the vomiting trigger zone.

However, due to the localization of this trigger zone it doesn't have the blood-brain barrier so it's enough that a certain drug is in blood. And if it acts there causing nausea, there you go.

It's more probable that it's some cut in this heroin given that it's been a year you've been shooting up heroin so you're past the period when the vomiting trigger zone responds to opioids the way I described at the beginning of usage (be it for medical purposes or abuse).

I'm thinking it might be the fact the I haven't shit in a couple days. It's really starting to bother me. When I used to do OC's all the time I would use once a day. I parachuted them so it lasted for a while, maybe sometimes I would take a little more later in the day. My point is, the half life is shorter for dope so I get sick a lot quicker so I end up high all the time to prevent that, I wake up and get high and go to bed high. I might go almost 24 hours after I first took my last dose of Oxy, but not be sick, but not high, so I could go to the bathroom. I drink V8 sometimes and it just usually makes me bloated cause my GI tract is not moving and I take in such a heavy food. Ramblin' aside, what do you guys use to help you defecate. I don't wanna say I don't want to take laxative's because I shoot god knows what into my veins, but I rather not be dependent on another drug, so maybe occasional use of a laxative/stool softener is ok but I want to find something "healthy." I tempted to just let myself get sick and just shit my brains out, but fuck that :Da

Coffee's a popular one, coffee and lots of fibre. Maybe magnesium citrate too.
