I have gained 50lbs from eating sweets constantly over the past three years, which is how long I have been on the Methadone Maintenance Program. It seems like all of my old junkiw buddies that were skinny as shit are now all fattened up from being on Methadone. I eat lots of fruit and healthy foods but the desire for sweets overpowers my desire to eat healthy, especially late at night. -NICU
Interesting replies. The biggest effect from food comes when I am on methadone. And it is so noticeable, that there is no way for me to deny it. Whenever I am taking methadone, I plan a nice big meal about 1-2 hr after ingestion to kick it in hard! Even after that, if I wait another 4 hours or so.. another meal will stengthen the pills effect by 2x. Love eating on opies!
one possible factor is that the liver is so busy dealing with fat cells that the opiate stays in you longer, but I think it's because your body has a more soluble environment to absorb more drug. Maybe similarly to how when baking cannabis you have to use a high fat item for the cannibinoids to bind to. A lot of lipids in your body mean higher BA. I gotta try this sometime.
I've lost around 50lbs in the past 8 months from taking opiates. I don't eat nearly as much when I am on them.
i have no desire for food at all when im all doped up. my main focus is on coffee+cigarettes. can't get enough of those.
Now that I quit smoking I have no idea what Im going to do when Im on opiates. We shall see come Saturday. Its funny, I dont miss them.
I was on 40mg of oxy lastnight and I read this thread so I was like hell lets try it, ate a big pasta dish, pretty gressy and felt way better. I think it's cause I really needed to eat yet I did feel more ripped. Normally I never eat just cause I assume it would ruin it. I ate the pills then about 1 hour and a half later ate.... worked great for me
Yeah, probably. But I got a good bit of willpower. Its just its getting too damn expensive to buy a $6 pack of smokes everyday. That, and one of my girlfriends really enjoys running and Im a competitive son of a bitch and will never let her beat me. Shes gettin close cuz she dont smoke. So Im quitting for my health and for the sake of totally kicking her ass
haha thats pretty funny slingblade. i can totally understand where your comming from. i quit for those two reasons myself...tho i have started smoking again...thats besides the point....but i will eat on opiates regardless of whether or not itll effect my high. ill eat if im hungry, its as simple as that, im not gonna starve myself so i can stay high...what kind of person would that make me? but i did read online somewhere that eating food with a high fat content will boost opana. didnt know that effeted all opiates. gotta love opana tho
agreed, it sure does. havent touched that stuff in a month or so. i dont think i want to go down that road again with opana, i got the mean wds after my supply ran dry...ha...that rhymed...but anyway, glad i had some methadone to help me threw those tough few days. but i hadnt really noticed till then how much it boosts tollerance, 20 mgs of methadone on any other day would of wrecked me, but it hardly effected me that day, but hey, atleast i got rid of some mean shakes and cold sweats, gotta look on the bright side of life...::que life of brian music:
lol yea, i feel you. i remember when i withdrew a little bit last year coming down from tripping... wasn't too nice to tell the truth. i did it again like a couple weeks after and took a break for like 8 months. now i'm controlling my usage... for now.
yeah man, key word...for now...but tripping? you were going threw wd after tripping?? on what pray tell did that to ya?
well nah, i was doing dope a few days and towards the last one took some acid, ecstasy and ketamine... but i had 10mgs of opana like 6 hours later. i was chilling with people i owed $ and didn't want anything to get ugly. but i actually felt better than i had after i came off the opana than after the dope. weird?
haha, what a combo, sounds like ya had some fun there tho. but hm, that is a bit peculiar. but i guess it all depends on tollerance.
yea, it was a great weekend. check out this though, this past weekend lol, shit was crazy. 2 hits of DOC along with maybe like 1 gram of ketamine over like 48 hours, didn't even hole though, wtf?! with maaad bud, next day, 2 bags of fire yayo and 2 bags of diesel and 4 22's of brew the next.
haha yeah dude, that sounds intense. doc? what is that exactly? never tried ketamine...heard that shit is pretty fun tho. i had my own little experience lately with some bangin yay. i got a 40 sack and it broke out to what had to of been a .8 or .9, lasted me till 10 am the next morning. friend brought over a 12 pack and we had some goooooood times.
