The Use of Nubain

Pharma
1

Guys…I’m VERY ignorant on the use of Nubain in the Bodybuilding community.

Is it’s use to:

1)“Push through” pain as a result of injury?

  1. Deal with the pain of the combination of extreme dieting and heavy lifting?

  2. It’s just a drug found to be “fashionable” within the Bodybuilding community?

  3. None of the above? All of the above? Other?

Anyway…no flames expected because I’ve already admitted my ignorance on this subject!

Thanks!

Whats with the narcotics lately?
It could have been just my little neck of the woods, but alot of the guys I knew that juiced also used just about anything else they could get their hands on too. Along those lines you could also conclude that cocaine, whiskey, heroine, and L.S.D. were good for joint pain, muscle tears, and anything else that may be bugging you. Of course this was pre-extacy, ketamine and meth.

Hey Mufasa,

I would have to say none of the above! Why would I say this? Because I was addicted to Stadol and Nubain a few years back.

For me it started off reading about it in the USH by Dan Duchaine. Back then it was touted as some kind of cortizol blocker. Of course being young and reckless and at the time very active in BB, decided I wanted this edge.

What started off as an edge, became my spiraling down life! Where lifting didn’t really matter that much anymore, just relaxing and getting high.

I finally had to do something about it as I started to lose friends and family. I went to the Dr.'s office told him about my situation and asked for some Klonapin(anti-anxiety) and some Comapzine(Nausea). The withdrawl syptoms of these drugs is something else! You feel like you want to cut your arms and legs off. And the nausea is unbearable!

I have spent a few years in NA and to this day have not touched the stuff, plus I don’t plan on it either.

If someone wants to use this for BB purposes, I say Bullshit, it’s just to get high! I will try to discourage anybody from using these drugs, if I can, they have the potential to ruin your life!

Thanks for the honesty, Brother…

I know that Nubain (and Ketamine) keep coming up when you read about the Polypharmacy of Modern Bodybuilding.

Some have indicated that they use it for “appetite suppression” and in some way unknown to me, as part of the normal drug arsenal. (As you indicated, DD intially indicated that it may be a Cortisol blocker…)

Anyway…what you’ve said make sense…and again, thanks for the honesty!
