I see people saying that it helps w/ withdrawals when our waiting for your next refill, but would this help w/ withdrawal when trying to come clean? Maybe taking like 40-50mg day 1, 30 mg day2....so on and so forth....anyone?
If you have the willpower, I think that loperamide could work well as a tapering drug when trying to come clean and quit using opiates. I'd figure out first how much loperamide it takes to get rid of withdrawals for 24 hours. Then I'd just lower that dose by 2 mg (one pill) every day, until you are no longer on the loperamide either.
I've tried this before, tapering by decreasing my dose by one pill a day, and it works well. The longest I've ever tapered however was for about a week and a half, and I broke down and just got high on them. I'm still taking the loperamide every day to keep wd's in check, and I'll still get high about once a week. It really is tough to stick to a strict taper, but I'm getting better at holding off on getting high, so one day soon I hope to be off of these things too.
Oh, by the way a good friend of mine feels certain that preloading on Tagamet very significantly potentiates Loperamide's euphoria. The way he preloads is he takes the Tagamet hours before the Lope or sometimes even takes the Tagamet a whole day prior to the Lope. He feels that from trial and error he has learned that taking Tagamet and not waiting enough hours to take the Lope doesn't work nearly as well as if he's already had the Tagamet in his system a long, long time before dosing on Lope.
Me, personally I wonder if my friend would get the most optimal tagamet potentiation of Lope (assuming tagamet even really potentiates Lope; I have no idea since it is my friend's idea not mine) if he took a little Tagamet each day for a few days then took Lope.
Oh, I also recently was able to confirm that preloading on Lope improves the euphoria of good ol Morpheus as well
Cimetidine, or Tagamet, does potentiate loperamide, in a big way. In my experience, it usually increases the potency by 25-30%. That's just me though, and when I try cimetidine to potentiate other opiates, it has always been hit or miss. It's worked well with poppy seed tea and poppy pods before, but it never seemed like it was consistent. And the increase was usually about 10-15%, not 25-30%. Oh, and I've found that taking the loperamide VERY SOON after taking the cimetidine works best. Sometimes I take them both at the same time.
I see a lot of people having luck potentiating opiods/kratom, but does anybody know if it potentiates pod tea? I would think it would and the above post said Morpheus (The God of Dreams!) was potentiated; seems like we've only touched upon orally ingested opiates. What about H? Has anyone tried it? I already have a low tolerance as I've always managed to keep use down to once a week but it would be a good, cheaper way to stretch your stash.
What does everyone think?
Way ta go making this thread Malfunkshun!
Thanks. And I would suspect so, that loperamide could potentiate pod tea. I've never tried it, because pods are too expensive for me now, and there are just flat out no good poppy seeds to be had anymore, online or otherwise. However, I did manage to get some really good seeds a couple of months ago by a fluke of luck. At the time, my body was pretty thoroughly saturated with loperamide, and had been for several months. I shook up some PST and downed it, as per my usual method which is described in
this thread. However, I was dissappointed to find that the high I got from the PST, although as good as I remembered it, was definitely affected by a cross tolerance to the loperamide. And also, the buzz only lasted for a couple of hours, compared to the all day, 10 hour buzz I used to achieve with every dose back when I was using PST every day. So, I dosed again with some more PST after the first buzz wore off very quickly and got a second decent buzz, which wore off even more quickly. I wound up using a 10 pound back of poppy seeds in two days, which I had expected to last for more than a week. It was very dissappointing. So, I don't know why, but being on loperamide for a good while, possibly, is somehow detrimental to the effects of other opiates.
And one more thing. A few people have mentioned that it takes a couple of hours after taking a good sized dose if loperamide for it to start to relieve wd's. I've experienced this too. If I'm starting to withdraw, I have to make sure that I've taken a 'bed-time' dose at least 3 or 4 hours before I go to sleep. I try to take only two doses a day... one in the morning so I can go to work comfortably, and one in the evening so I can sleep. I normally have to deal with the onset of wd's for at least a few hours each day.
