Opioids What exactly is a nod? Is this nodding?

Upon further examination, i don't believe I was in fact nodding. I wasn't experiencing much euphoria, if any, and this was an hour and a half - two hours after i dosed, and since oxycodone has a rather short half life, it just wouldn't make sense via my ROA.
 
I only get the nod with H but never with oxy's, it's a heavy feeling in your upper body and you never realizing you're nodding until you whip your head back up and then as soon as you realize you were nodding, your necks going limber again. When people say "dude you're dozing off" im quick to deny it though I know they're probably right. Personally I like the nod.
 
Yea but don't people nod off fentanyl yet most people say it's got nearly no euphoria?
 
Yeah, fentanyl sucks recreationally because the risks FAR outweigh any "reward".

It's pure sedation, no euphoria, an overdose waiting to happen.
 
nodding is uncomfortable at times. Shit...I dont like it. Its not what my attracted me to opios. I just liked the Escape. The nod came later. Fuck nodding...IdK. I guess I nodded a week ago had taken Kava in awhile....I took some....started Nodding. I dunno why it Brought a nod as I am on MMT anyway that was relaxing as it had Been awhile since that Feeling Ever arises....It did get uncomfortable tho....id say Nodding is when you need a buddy system going as someone said. Nodding hard...Alone....Seasoned or not is so fucking bothersome to me. If you die nodding I look at it as scary if you live alone as you May take awhile to be discovered. Blah.
 
imo nodding is extreme euphoria and sedation...its almost a 'body high' for me. it only takes around 15-20mgs of oxy for me to nod without getting sick...but if I take some dramamine less drowsy formula i can.handle 25 to 30 mgs without getting sick. the euphoria from oxy is undescribable for me, but i know there are more euphric drugs but im afraid to try them for fear of addiction.
 
Yup, fentanyl is well known for not being a very euphoric opioid, despite being so notoriously powerful. Some users just keep chasing its minimal euphoria and end up ODing, and think they haven't had enough yet since they equate the level of euphoria with how strong the opioid is.
 
admitting? This has been my experience with fentanyl, pretty much all other opiates give me euphoria if I've taken enough to nod.
Totally agree with Tricomb and some others on this one.
I use Fentanyl Transdermal System for chronic pain, and I am having a hard time recalling any "euphoria" coming from it. I got super sick and felt like I was having extreme hot flashes, along with dizziness when I FIRST started it. But that was because I was started on too high a dose and there was definitely nothing pleasant about it.
Now, it does help relieve pain, but don't feel a thing from it in any other way.
If I run out or am stretched thin, though, it's pure hell. IMO, Fentanyl is good for pain relief, but it has ruined my tolerance.

Just fucking with you man because earlier you mentioned nodding to be like sex, you will always know. I guess fentanyl is the exception.
 
If u wanna get effed up and do nothing. Nodding is cool. If u take drugs to function thru a normal day. Nodding is an inconvenience
 
I think nodding is a bit different for everyone, but yeah that sounds like nodding. For me an ideal experience is to sit in a comfy chair and just, relax, totally. Its hard to keep your eyes open, but its just, heaven. You feel lethargic and its sort of difficult to move, but its my favorite feeling in the world. euphoria is a fairly impossible thing to descirbe, so Im glad you all know what i mean. Infact Im heading to noddy land now, so that probbaly didnt make much sense.
 
I haven't read this thread except the op, so excuse me if i'm repeating what somebody else has said.

IMO, "nodding" is a twilight state, where you are almost asleep & having these weird vivid dreams. Basically your mind is seperated from your body & you are in an apathetic state of absolute peace.

For me the best nods i've had are when i'm awake one moment then the next i'm reading a book, & its all from your memory, then suddenly you go to flip it to the next page & suddenly you jolt "awake" to find there's not even a book in your hand!

This is a recurring theme for me when i do nod & IMO you dont need to dose high.

For me the best nods (i do not advocate taking this combo whatsoever) are when i've had either morphine or opium, a small dose of valium & or an antihistamine like chlorphenamine or dihphenhydramine. Oh, & maybe some good marijuana too ;)

Ok the above sounds interesting, if this is a true example of real nodding then i would have to say that I havent nodded. Mine was more like dosing off, struggling to stay awake with some eurphoria. Vivid daydreams and skipping memory didnt happen. Ill admit the above sounds way more fun.
 
Ive also never had the waking dreams described above, the closest ive got is being half asleep, and meaning to do things (like get some water), falling asleep, and then getitng water in my dream. Not realising i havent done it in real life. That soudns terrifying and more like a dissociative OD, but its just, bliss. And after i do stuff like that I just laugh so hard. God dammit now I wana get high, screw you guys.
