Opioids What is 'the nod'?

Man in the Dark said:
That's why I take them as prescribed under the direction of my Psych Dr and PM Dr. Like I said I don't mix the 2,meaning I take them hours apart and hours before sleeping. 3mg's of Klonopin and 15mg of Oxy IR spread out from morning until evening is being responsible as per DR's orders. Dosing all at once and passing out is irresponsible.

I know this thread is old, but I'd just like to add.

I ALWAYS fought the nod, because it scared me. I thought the nod was just what happened when you overdose, and I thought if I fell asleep my body would go into respiratory depression..
 
^ Actually when you nod you *are* od'ing. It's just that you are not on *too much* of a dose, and you don't die.

I don't like the nod, the worst one was with GBL, crazy sleep paralysis without sleep, uh. With opies you actually *freeze*, time has no meaning, and you drool. Rinse and repeat.

A nod is not an OD at all.
Stop spreading inaccurate information.

Nod is an overdose..... Not a fatal one, but it is by definition an overdose symptom just as most recreational drug effects are.

i nod from 5mg of percocet.

i nod in the hospital when getting a 5 mg IV morphine drip.

its not an overdose, its an effect of the drugs.

No worries, I appreciate the concern as this is a harm reduction website. Any and all opinions are more than welcome.
thanks for your help.
 
The nod can take over you an your lifestyle respect the nod cause it doesn't have to respect you or feelings
 
Something I manage to sometimes randomly get from Suboxone + my daily benz doses.

I literally find myself sitting and "waking up" - at the last moment so I am somewhat conscious and not bang my head on my desk office. If it happens when I'm lying down on the couch in the livingroom, I mostly pass out. I can't seem to "nod" unless I'm sitting, which is interesting but I kind of know how that happens, lying on the couch listening to music on the home stereo, I'm not in a position for my body to try and get oxygen needed enough for full consciousness. So the nod is kind of a switch of hey breath/nevermind/breath and for some reason is one of the best feeling one can feel for some reason, euphoria's always at its max when the nod sets in, no matter the opiate (discounting the rush when it comes to heroin, hydromorphone, morphine and others).
 
It is just a narcotic sleep inducing effect and fighting it to stay awake... Nothing more
 
It's after taking a fat hit of crack , your head slowly starts to droop down and your eyes become slits , but you catch a glimpse of your friends staring at you in jealous astonishment , and your aware of this as your eyes close and you silently laugh to yourself. Lol
 
It's what you experience before you wake up to holes burning in your sleeping bag no doubt from the cigarette you WERE smoking, and you go to blow on it and it turns to flames way too close to your face.

This made me laugh hard lol.

I've nodded twice. The first time was in the dark laying in my bed off 20mg of percocet. It was the second best feeling I think I've felt compared to 200mg of pure MDMA.
The second time I was nodding while trying not to nod because I was around my parents. Super fucking annoying, I was really irritated. Bad high.

Set and setting, folks.
 
The Nod is one of the primary reasons i quit doing H. When i do drugs i like to be active. Surf the net,wash clothes ,clean house. For me personally their was nothing fun about sitting in a chair nodding off falling asleep. To each his own i guess.
 
Is it like xanax or ambien where id just take feel euphoric drooling on myself in a stupor because i felt extremely overwhelmed with panic attacks and school plus severely depressed and over committed to more things to more people then i could possibly do.

But now when i look back at it i didnt feel euphoric I just felt out of control and i wanted to feel overpowered so i couldnt focus on tommorow
 
*Let myself go into wds first? Would that help? I've bee on 65 mg/ml methods once a day and it has saved me life :) peace

there isnt really a responsible way to take them together.
people die in the hospital from this mix, there is no safe way to take them together at home.

I know this post is super old and I hate to be 'that guy', but this is false. People can safely mix benzos and opiates depending on tolerance and dosages. Many people including myself are prescribed an opioid and a benzo for anxiety and for at home use. Being uneducated and reckless makes this combo dangerous but there are absolutely ways to responsibly use both at home.
