I don't know if that is consistent. The first time I ever had vicodin (which isn't really that strong a drug in the grand scheme of things, I guess), I felt good. Not just no pain, but more relaxed, carefree, happy than I can remember ever feeling naturally. My immediate reaction was to say out loud to my girlfriend "Umm, not taking any more of this, because oh my god this is way too good." Oddly enough, since then (it's been 20 years now, I've had vicodin a few times) it doesn't ever have the same effect. Just that once. Now it's just pain relief. Which is a relief.
