Vitamin c megadosing, is it safe?

[Javfly33]

Is it dangerous? Sometimes I megadose vitamin c (like more or less like 15 capsules of 1mg a day for 3-4 days, from that I start reducing to 0), it works like a charm but I wonder if this could not damage the system. 

I saw in reddit a guy saying is completely Ok because 'you get out the excess of your body each day when you piss' but it seemed more like a bro science comment.

What is your experience while/after mega dosing?

[undeather]

Depends ...

By taking capsules, most of your side effect profile will affect your gastrointestinal system (especially diarrhea).
You will only absorp a fraction  - meaining that much less of that will actually end up in your blood stream (i.v VitC can be much more "problematic")

That said, you will still peak at several 100 micromol/L.
If you are healthy and don't have any underlying condition (like  glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase defieciency) or kidney issues, you should be fine. If you have a family history of kidney stones or problems with iron storage (hemchromatosis), I would not recommend playing around with such high dosages.

What’s the point ? 
I prefer to spend money on very nutritious food.

i take it to ease withdrawal of opiates. I almost do not experience withdrawal at all, although who knows if it is a bit of placebo.

Ok. Thanks for the advice. I take non acidic vitamin c though.

Thank you for sharing, I’ve never experienced opiate withdrawal before. Wishing you the best.

You are still addict to opiates ?

@Schizophonia  I have been on and off all this year, I just stop it when I get tired of it and come back when I miss it. 

Next week im going holidays for 2-3 weeks so ill be clean, but probably when I come back ill buy again...lol, is just what it is. 

The thing until I don´t I completely clean certain karmic issues I will keep using, both are just too intimately related.

Something really transformative has to happen within me to completely quit. Im close but not there yet

What vibe are you looking for? Can you try to describe opiate's energy in a kinesthenic/vibrational way, such as sounds, images, sensations, shapes etc?

I´m not sure if I understand what you mean but I´d say the energy is flat. They flat everything. 

Not that at this point I use them seeking for a high, but more just like a coping mechanism. Life sober is more or less stable (thanks daily Yoga) but if I have a bad week is sooo temping to go buy some and enjoy 4-5 days of just not thinking about anything lol.

I say 4-5 days because after that tolerance again raises up and you don´t get much high anymore. At that point is when I again get tired and stop/throw the shit.

Boring cycle

Ive thought you already tried opiates in the past 

Heroin morphine codeine hydro and oxy all come mostly from opium plant, just in different variations of different alkaloids the plant has

Once i've tried Tramadol, 200mg on the afternoon.

I vomited 6 times the next day, with a friend we stopped in front of a building and i puked my guts out on the steps lol. Never again.

Opium is essentially morphine, i assume it's less potent.  🤔

Was doing up to 10-14 grams in divided doses throughout the day when it was at its worst. Now I’m down to about 1.5g a day
