Heroin and Anger

[CrowetheCat]

I've noticed that this is a common occurrence. A little bit of heroin and I'm on top of the world; once I get over .2, I start raging and picking at people, getting wayyyy too pissy about everything.

For some people, it takes even less than that to start raging. I just see it as part of the high, the less happy part.

Yes opiates will do this not just heroin. I think it has something to do with hormones getting produced.

Maybe since you're being "rewarded" by the chemical everything else is just a distraction. Too lazy to link and find sources but some theorize the chemicals estrogen and progesterone get raised by opiates these are the same ones that are elevated in PMS.

Some misunderstand and think it is withdrawing but no, it's being really high that does it.

Every time I do Heroin I get so angry at the world. I start yelling at my family for no reason focusing on each one trying to hurt them. I just feel so irritated and angry. Even the slightest sound sets me off.... I usually need to just be alone in a quiet room.... Any enlightening truths you can give me about Heroin and anger.....
It's a big problem because I do Heroin almost daily... So I'm always mad irritated and fighting...

I find that I also get really snippy at people when I do opiates. Sounds are usually what bother me. I like silence. Peace. I feel sorry for my boyfriend cause I'll start getting bitchy then he'll think I'm mad at him, when really it's just the drugs.
I really don't know what to do about it either :/

If im out and about on opiates i tend to be VERY snippy and quick to get angry because im enjoying my high and if someting gets in the way of that i get real irritated..ive been in manyyy yelling matches with people who just did something little that if i was sober i would just ignore.it doesnt happen all the time mainly if i start to come down and im around people that i dont get along with i tend to have a quick temper...idk the science behind why it happens tho

the poster above me said something about raising horomones as in PMS..that sounds exactly how i act when it happens..like a women on her period..lol like a total bitch %)

This is a very common occurrence and the only solution I know of that actually works (for me at least) is to smoke a little bit of cannabis. I can be in a total narcotic rage and then hit a gravitron and not only does the anger go away, but I feel kind of embarrassed for being so angry in the first place. One of the many reasons why weed is great.

It is strange that some of you guys say that this happens when you do too much dope because it is the complete opposite for me.. If I don't have enough to get high but just enough to be somewhere in between high and well then I get real foggy headed and then I get in this really emotional and angry state.. I get the same way right before I get sick. As soon as I feel the very last bit of heroin leave my body then that foggy feeling slowly begins to kick in and I fall into the exact same angry emotional state.. I have actually thought about this before and I always believed that it happened when I had just enough heroin stuck to my receptors to not quite be sick but not enough to be high.... My hormones are thrown off but I don't get the rewarding, calming feeling of the dopamine high to blunt my emotions...

I have been on and off heroin, methadone, and oxy for the last 15yrs with no more than two months of straight clean time.. My friend has been on opiod painkillers for the same 15yrs and we both just went to get our testosterone checked and we were both told that our testosterone was extremely low and that we had very high levels of estrogen..

We were both given the exact same once a week injectable steroids.. and pills to lower our estrogen.... So it seems as if we were hormonally turning ourselves into women by using opiates. Fun stuff.. I feel so manly right now... Glad I'm clean now..

^i agree i get super edgy and angry when i just dont have enough to get where i wana be but its enough for me to feel the physical tells that im high..its the state between euphoria and a slight buzz.or when i come down and the opiates are still effecting my thought process with out the mood enhancement

 

[when I dream]

I agree, it's usually as I start coming down off the peak that the..bitchiness begins.

That is interesting what somnilicious said, sometimes I feel overly emotional about things and I don't remember that happening before I started using kratom.

I saw this old guy eating alone at Arby's the other day and for some reason I was like nearly in tears feeling bad for him or something. I mean, I eat alone all the time I really shouldn't find that so sad. I dunno, I can definitely see the possibilty of opiates inducing a PMS-like state in some males. Lol, as somnilicious said, I feel so manly right now.

Make an effort

hahaha Motiv311 I totally agree with that, but unfortunately guilty myself @ times!

 

[P.o.T.u.S]

We hate u too motiv
.id say like 25% of the time il have "the opiate rage"..maybe its the time of the month for my opiate period ..if it was every time at the coming down stage of my high id see the correlation but it can come outta nowhere no matter where i am or what im doing.

Well I hate people who bitch and moan about what people they don't even know are doing, so I guess we're even.

Shit lol, when I did heroin I dont know about yall but my head was in my lap lol its not funny now...
I am on buprenorphine maintenance

I usually just nodd out but I do a lot, I had a bad habit and a long run, I feel the same though as some one stated above, if I dont get enough to put my head in my lap then im pissed at the world, and then I start robbing people and things

thats why I quit, plus going to jail and just barely dogging prison, woke me up a little more then in the past, as soon ad I relapsed I got some insurance and got on buprenorphine maintenance something I have never done before.

But wow my overall quality of life has significantly improved!

Im currently taking 8mgs daily 4mg in the a.m 4mg p.m

I was down to 4mgs daily and a bunch of shit happened to me so im back up to 8mgs a day but thays not too bad.

ill be tapering soon, also I got my sub doc to write me a clonidine script with 2 refills, so ill be good.

I usually call it "opiate rage." I had an ex who would imagine all these slights from the people around him. I've definitely done it too. Usually, if I'm not high enough or have run out, then it is more of an internal/consuming rage.

 

[siq]

People getting angry on heroin is something I just recently heard about. I had no idea this happens to some people, I find it very strange. When I'm on H I don't care enough about anything or anyone to get angry... That would take waay to much energy...

 

[PriestTheyCalledHim]

Very interesting. An ex of mine would abuse pharm opiates at times, and he would get very angry. I didn't know they were related thanks for making this thread, and discussing this about opiates.

 

[hydr0m0rph]

yep.. i have no idea why.. cuz i feel so good.. but i get mad easy.. i almost feel like im insulated.. so when people say dumb shit or do something to annoy me i snap easy.. not willing to take anything.. so many times i have called people out. like wehn some middle aged guy said he would smack my little brother in the head cuz my bro accidentally hit his car with the door of my car... wow.. i got so angry i kinda scared myself.. and the guy was terrified.. drove off real fast..

Its because opiates/opiods make people in general feel so good at some point during using choice of substance, that any static, and or bad noise have you interupts that pleasure, and you begin to become aggravated, and easily agitated!

It is a side effect also from opiates, this has been known for sometime, and is something your doctor should have discussed with you, also you can discuss this with your doctor, and work also on blood pressure and what your triggers are, also a good diet makes a world of a difference.

Clonidine can be useful, also benzos could possibly be prescribed but be wise take as little as possible and as directed or you could end up with a nasty lil habit.

im currently addicted to benzos (Xanax)
I am clean from heroin thanks to buprenorphine (Suboxone).

But back to topic yes opiates/opiods will cause agitation, this may be a side effect with prescription opiate medication, and almost always with heroin.


Peace

For me it's always the annoyance of fucking with my high. If I'm nodding and some idiot is playing crappy music, talking on the phone or just making noise in the kitchen I get super bitchy. With my last alcoholic, non-dope inexperienced g/f I told her when I'm slamming to stay the fuck out of my way and she did... poor thing. I just want to enjoy a non-intruding heavy nod for a few hours and being brought out of a sweet ass nod b/c some moron is ambling about bulllshit to me is wasting time and money - so shut the fuck up!

 

[Xtreme Rush]

^^^^^^ ahahahah I feel you my good friend I remember many times in a position like the one you described
