Have you ever even taken an opiate?
- TillE 4y agoSeriously, the suggestion that an opiate makes you aggressive is very funny. The high is just like, pure happiness. Also fentanyl is a big thing because opiates are illegal. If people had a choice they'd stick to the good stuff like oxycodone, which is significantly less dangerous.
- sillystuff 4y agoI assume your experience must be common to explain the prevalence of opioid addiction. But, my experiences are a counter-example-- opioids are not pleasant for everyone. The first time, I was given an opioid (after surgery) I felt irrationally angry-- as in completely irrational anger at e.g., the color the walls were painted. After snapping at my girlfriend who was being super sweet and supportive, I immediately stopped taking them. This was pills, but I do not recall the name. The angry feeling passed within hours after missing the next dose. The period of apology lasted much longer. I can believe that someone experiencing similar irrational anger could do more than verbally snap at someone. The second time, was Dilaudid via IV while recovering in hospital (machine with button to press to self-dose when in pain). No bad reaction this time. I wouldn't describe either experience as euphoric. The first experience was negative and the second, other than helping with pain, was neutral.
