Hiccup from Opiates?

[Henfer]

Hello fellow trippers and chillers,

swim's got a question about opiates again... swim's a recreational user of tilidine, and by now is familiar with the side effects (aka itching etc.).

but the last times swim did his opiate, he always gets a hiccup...and a pretty insistent one... swim can put his finger definately on the opiate as he never has hiccups... but as soon as he takes it, usually a hour into it, the hiccup starts and since 1-2 weeks its ALWAYS there, earlier it was a rare occasion..

this definately takes away from his good feeling on opiates.. can anyone help swim and give him some tips how to avoid this?

thank you very much in advance...

not very helpful but swim once had to deal with a room mate that hiccuped for 3?(foggy memory) days straight after the house had been binging on dxm for a insane amount of time,dxm and opiates work on the same receptors right?

[Henfer]

hmm.. as with swim... tilidine effects are there for about 3 hours (you can even time the clock, really... 3 hours gone and the effect just drops quasi-instantly), the hiccup starts at approx. 45mins into it and stays for at least half an hour, and the duration increases, seems to swim....

This would be understandable with how opiates bind to the opiate receptors in the stomache. SWIM frequently was unable to burp for a while when he would take dosages of opiates after long breaks. It would be highly unconforable until he'd barf and burp all in one monster release. Hicups are from an irritated diaphragm that has involuntarily spasms. Virtually anything entering your body that goes towards the stomache could cause it.

MrJim, that's scary, swim experiences the absolute same thing. he feels like he needs to burp badly, as if the stomach is filled with air, but he just can't. then, at some point, when it gets just too much, swim releases one burp that the walls go shaking. the hiccup mostly comes together with itching, but while itching is there everytime, the hiccup is not.

SWIM finds that while on opiates he too gets the hiccups, but usually only after eating food or drinking alot of fluid. SWIM thinks this is due to the contraction of smooth muscle tissue, (esophagus, internal organs)

Yerba mate, or caffeine products can settle the stomach and help the digestive tract

[MrJim]

Itching is one of the most common side effects from opiates, so that is understandable.

yes, and as a tip for people who maybe don't know it: for swim, if he scatches himself then, the itching won't go away and will stay for the whole time of being high.
but, if he ignores the itching for 5-10 minutes (although this can be sometimes very hard, and swim can't ignore it successfully every time. from tilidine, the itching is not so hard, but codeine.. its unbearable, so swim stopped codeine usage), it'll eventually go away.

SWIM found that when he had taken too much codeine (500mg) (Normally 400mg Max ...) it cause hiccuping that was very unpleasent. maybe lower the dosage could stop this from happening in the future. SWIM cannot say the doasge is the cause but it´s worth a try.

SWIM knows the opiate hiccups....theyre not so bad, longest they last is about 30 minutes...benzodiazapine hiccups are way worse....swim once hiccuped for four days straight during an ativan binge.

SwiPA has also experienced hiccups while he is on opiates. However, he tends to see opiate hiccups the same way he sees regular ones. Essentially SwiPA thinks of hiccups as a mind-over-matter thing. If he concentrates for a few minutes on controlling his breathing, it's possible to stifle hiccups. The key, he says, is not letting your diaphragm spaz out (quite literally). SwiPA vouches for this general approach to hiccups, claiming it works better than any other home remedies. This applies to both opiate-induced and normal hiccups.
