Dealing With Opiate Nausea

[smok3h]

So many people absolutey love Oxy and Hydrocodone and all those other fun opiates, but to me whenever I take them they always fuck with my stomach like a bitch. Like I can't even enjoy the high because I'm trying not to throw up. I know other people get it too, so it's not just me. Does it happen to everyone? To the people who do these drugs and "love" them, like, how do you deal with the nausea? Is it as simple as taking a drammamine or something similar? Or is the high so good that you just deal with the nausea? I am THE CURIOUS and would like to know so that I may further experiment with these drugs and hopefully enjoy them.

[Limerick]

I've not taken many opiates in my life, but I found I can handle the nausea much more if I eat a little snack before I dose. not a big meal or anything, but something in your stomach. I never eat them on an empty stomach (had a very bad experience).

and weed always helps.

[hookahead]

opiates affect everyone differently. for some people opiates bring them down really hard and some people feel that they are more of an upper to them. same with nausea, i dont get the sick feeling from opiates at all and some people just feel that there goin to throw up like ya said. try eatin before takin them if that dont work than opiates just arnt for you man...

[justsayyes]

promethazine/dramamine/phenergen/et al are an absolute must for me with any opioids because I get pretty nauseous. Plus then I don't itch and it definitely boosts the mellow so that I don't need quite as much opiate. Times I've had the same dose of codeine with and without antihistamines/antiemetics the high has been so much better and noticeable with the tablets.

There's a reason they almost always give you an IV antihistamine (usually metoclopramide for me) with IV or IM opiates in hospital.

I'm sure there's a lot of people who think the nausea is part and parcel of the opiate experience but nausea is just too distracting for me.

Some people also may have a minor allergic reaction to the opiate or perhaps something else that's in it(the cut). Friends have told me if you take a benadryl it will help the come down and may help any negative reaction to the Opiate. Someone even gave me a benadryl when I was grabbing and I was like "uhhh thanks?" because I don't get any allergic reactions. However I do get sick to my stomach when I do H but that's normal. Personally I used to drink a lot so I've puked enough already in my day and I know it's easiest to just puke and get it over with. It's never feels good to puke but if you can get used to it/put mind over matter it's really not that bad. I have not done any other opiate. Anyways that's all I can tell you. I don't know if the benadryl/antihistamine will help but it's something I've heard so I thought I would pass it on to you. And it is hear say. I dunno if it's true or not.


- Peace.

Im wondering the same thing smok3h...
I have some pills for nausea but they make me pass out

[Jester]

I usually only get sick when doing oxy when I try a new (meaning higher) dose.. sometimes I'll puke if it's a high dose that I've done but it's been a long time since I've done the drug...like months.

When I get sick, I feel it coming on suddenly. There is no way of stopping it usually, ever. It's usually so fast that if I don't run to the bathroom as soon as I think it is possible that I might throw up, it'll be too late. It's common that I don't make it to the toilet in time... especially since I'm usually slow, off balance, comfortable laying down.

Smoking pot sometimes helps, sometimes makes it worse...hahaaha ...but I love weed, always.
I always smoke weed while doing oxy, it's a must.

Have fun! Drugs are different for everyone!

Try alternating to a more senthetic opiete like tramadol. I gave some to my friend and his girl to get off hydrocodone and oxycodone. They said it really helped with nausia. they don't have a cross tolerence so you can satify your mental and phisical opiete need while still geting it out of your system and bringing your tolerence down.

I find that weed can also help too.

[StonedGrower]

I find that weed helps my nausea anytime. Unless I take a giant and cough my brains out so much that I can't stop for a minute, that will upset my stomach enough to make me puke. Other than that, if I just toke a spliff safely it usually helps. It really helped when I woke up one morning puking from the night of drinking before. I tried taking some sips of water, taking tums, taking advil and every time I threw it all up. I couldn't even keep down sips of water!!! Then I burned a spliff and I could hold down plenty water and was fine the rest of the day


I love weed.

well sporto, i would try doing some jumping jacks or something to get your blood moving. maybe its an absorption problem causing nausea (if youre takin it orally), in which case spiking your metabolic rate would grease the wheels a bit

Yeah, I find that when I'm sitting down or something it's the worse, but I when I get up and walk around I hardly even notice it.

strange.... I find if im too high off H and I get nausea, the best thing for me is to actually lie down... Personally that makes my nausea go away and makes me Reaaaaaaaaaallly comfortable.

[waposmokeh]

Weed always helps. Even one hit makes my opiate nausea go away within a few minutes, although I barely ever get it.

[HeroinAddikt]

Opiate nausea is nothing until you're starting to kick.

[deadhead]

Opiate nausea is nothing until you're starting to kick.

opiate nausea is nothing until you have been given naloxone

[HeroinAddikt]

Opiate nausea is nothing until you're starting to kick.

opiate nausea is nothing until you have been given naloxone

Is it really worse than all the symptoms of withdrawal?

I wouldn't know, I haven't done a dose of naloxone that would be effective in blocking dope.

[deadhead]

I have been given naloxone twice....I only really needed it once....and both times I nearly punched the person who gave it because it was that bad....


my dad is a paramedic and he has been punched a few times after giving naloxone....



it sucks

[Jester]

Did anyone mention Gravol I think it's called?
Pills that help with motion sickness?

Maybe it could help?

Or drinking giner-ale or just eating ginger candy or ginger anything will sooth the stomach.
Uhhh... the jumpingjack thing is not a bad idea.

I don't like to recommend doing coke and then oxy ... spread them apart a bit i guess... but doing blow might help the blood flow lol might not wanna be doing jumping jacks when wanting to chillout haha


anything help?

[stonedATARI]

-Eat before doing the opiates and leave your food time to digest
-Promethazine is great for nausea and it acts as a pusher(meaning it enhances the effect of the opiate)
-Smoking marijuana will calm your stomach and enhances the effects also.
-If you are still getting so nauseous you can't enjoy your buzz you may need to try a lower dose
-The more you do said opiate, the more your body gets used to it and the side effects lessen. This is your body developing a tolerance; therefore, the pleasurable effects will begin to lessen to. But you will come to a point where you can do a higher dose to get increased euphoric/pleasurable effects without the nausea

[AMoney420]

Ive been doing about 600mb of roxicodone a day and vomitting is definitly a side effect thats hard to avoid. Before i do my opiates i try avoid eating anything which helps the vomitting. I also think it depends on your toloerance, how much you do, and whats in your body prior, during, and post your oxycodone dose. I've also found that sometimes nicotine can upset my stomach on them. Hope this helps

[AngusThermopyle]

The nicotine thing is a GREAT point, but i dont think you are a smoker, smok3h AHAHA! *ahem* whenever i did fentanyl patches i HAD to smoke every fifteen minutes. even though i puked 75% of the times i had a cig, but i didnt care. Eat a bit before you dose, tramadol will give your 10x worse stomach ache, trust me. fuckin Random got me on those little buggers, damn him! anyhow if you still have problems gimme a call and i can help you man!

[bobbin]

I think its really a matter of figuring out what works best for you, experiment. I see a lot of people saying smoking weed makes the nausea go away, and some people saying that it makes it worse... personally if i smoke TOO MUCH it will make me feel nauseous, but the only thing thats ever made me puke from opiates is drinking too much water too fast hahaha. Food and the feeling of being full didnt help... best bet is make sure youve eaten before hand but awhile beforehand, so you dont have that full feeling in your stomach. The pot and other factors you'll have to be the judge of for yourself since ive found it definetly effects everyone differently.

Like when im on opium, I feel like I need to chain smoke and i pretty much do and I'm fine, but a friend of mine can barely have any cigarettes while he's on it because they immediately make him feel nauseous, even though he is a smoker normally.

[nikefball82]

well the only time i ever puked with opiates was when i took 160mg of oc the first time.. haha.... but i know from taking robotussin, that if you brush your teeth, or take mints, you dont puke. Another thing is, you could always smoke a bowl of weed, because, weed makes you unnausious.

hope i helped

[smok3h]

haha.... but i know from taking robotussin, that if you brush your teeth, or take mints, you dont puke.

I don't see how that would stop someone from puking but if it works for you then that's cool.
