Best way to beat the nods?

[Forthesevenlakes]

SWIM's fellow lab rats have been mucking around with opiates lately, mainly oxycodone, and SWIM wanted to be able to give them some good advice on how to get past the nods that sometimes accompany use. SWIM's only idea was to tell them to drink a coffee or rock star energy drink, but SWIM is wondering if any other users have a preferred method they use to keep from going to sleep. SWIM would like to point out that he doesnt reccomend opiates to anyone, but these lab rats are experienced users who are annoyed at how tired they get, and came to SWIM for advice.

Caffeine seems to be a viable solution. SWIM enjoys a few cups of coffee with his xanax, to fight of the sleep but still enjoy the euphoria.

How could you possibly want to beat the nods?! Nodding is the shit.

SWIM and friends use opiates simply for the nod. A common question between them... "Noddin' yet?"

At times I could see wanting to beat em, but unfortunately there isn't many options. SWIM has tried caffeine, doesnt work too well. SWIM must not have had enough. SWIM doesnt drink coffee so Mountain Dew was the nearest thing around with caffeine in it.

Has any type of speed ever been tried? SWIM could see how a small dose of Ritalin or Adderall might keep the nods away.

The only reason SWIM would not want to nod if he was in a social setting. He agrees, a nod is the ultimate goal of an opiate user.

Caffeine works, but you have to work it right. Too high of a dose will reduce the enjoyability of SWIMs opiate buzz and knock off too much of the depressant effects. He usually keeps it between 50-100mgs, depending on full/empty stomach and redosing as needed.

excellent and precise advice!

SWIM himself actually enjoys the nods, in regards to addicted2hc and raven3davis's responses...its SWIMs lab rats that don't. SWIM was contemplating small dosages of ritalin or adderall, but is not sure what a decent starting dose would be, without things becoming too dangerous. perhaps 5 mg of either. SWIM is not about to reccomend coke to the lab rats though, that seems a bit risky. thanks for the info on the caffeine though IHrt and sterling, a 50-100 mg dosage will be reccomended to aforementioned lab rats, and swim was actually unaware that a higher dose could reduce the enjoyability. if these tricks dont work, SWIM may just have to tell the lab rats to man up (rat up?) and try to enjoy the nods.

[addicted2hc]

SWIM was going to recommend 5mg of either. Not sure whether or not they make Adderall in that dose, but SWIM knows Ritalin can be found in 5mg pills.

[Forthesevenlakes]

SWIM can always instruct those zany lab rats to cut a 10 mg adderall down the center, their sharp fangs and claws are perfect for the job! great advice though, thank swiy!

Swim Is lucky ? as he never gets the NODS even with large doses in fact just the oposite even with large doses of Dia morph. Any other rats find this ?

SWIM never gets the nods from Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, Morphine or Demorol. But take 1 and a half or 2 Methadone, nodding is unstoppable. The others give energy to regular users. All opiates an aphrodisiac to friend SWIM also.

First off SWIM agrees that why would you want beat the nods. You (or they) should try methadone nods . They are the best, Swim thinks. But if you have to work without falling asleep standing up, as SWIM has done, than caffene or stackers do help.
