immodium and w/d

if i am taking immodium,(just started today)  will that drag out my detox?????  I know that loperamide is a opiate that affects the GI tract not the CNS,  But some say it curbs W/D.  If this a fact, will it drag out the inevitable???

It actually does work just tried it-smoking a little with 10mg of the L stuff and 3 midol gell caps 200 mg Moderate withdrawl from roxis to morphine (which didnt get me high just kept away the boogieman for awhile then 9 days woth of subs then stopped (rean out of subs figured i would b ok--Not! Second to third day the boogieman came to collect!  I feel at ease right now I was working and had to stop earlier but then went back (self employed) becasue I felt better and on my feet.  You can still tell there is a battle going on inside your body but u can go along for the ride this way at least and maybe even sleep.  Good luck to all hope this helps--it really does work!

Immodium will definatley help with the trots but if you can stand it let them run (no pun intended LOL) their course as your body is cleansing itself that way

yea, it seems to have a delayed reaction . not right away always.
actually that is a kind of detoxing too. and you can hold alot of sickness in your body when you have the opposite going on. so you are gonna feel better just from that too.

I have never heard of that.  The immodium will only help with the diareah and the loperamide only helps in the gut with the receptors.  If anyone knows different, I hope they will post.  I have been told that it may help with the w/d not increase the duration of w/d.  I really couldn't tell that it helped me or not.

Good luck on your quit and keep posting and asking any question you may have. Others will come soon with their posts

pretty doubtful unless you are consuming ridiculous amounts??
what are you using for your detox? diet? cleansing? or are you just quitting drugs?

a total body detox is pretty harsh to go through if you have not been the healthiest. i would advise just getting off drugs first and then the detox.
when you detox, all the impurities in your body get stirred up and you feel pretty crappy while your body is getting rid of them.

if the bathroom issue thing is going on, than the immodium is a good idea. and up your water intake if you are in a state like mine. temps in the 100's now. you can get dehyrated pretty easy.
