Why do people enjoy the opiate nod?

I've been taking hydrocodone for several years, and not once did I ever nod out. It gives me a nice stimulating buzz that I really enjoy. Lately though I've come into some Opana ER (oxymorphone) and have experienced the nod for the first time. I've found that it's a fine line with Opana between being alert and feeling good as opposed to nodding out and having difficulty keeping my eyes open.

My question is, why do people enjoy this feeling? To be honest I don't like it at all. When this happens to me I usually down several energy drinks to try to counteract it. I don't understand why people seem to think it is enjoyable to nod out. Maybe because due to my years of hydrocodone use I've come to look at opiates as more of a social drug? As crazy as this probably sounds to most, I much prefer hydrocodone to oxymorphone just because it is much easier for me to function on.

Thanks for any input.
 
for me nodding is just the euphoric dream-like state where all your problems disappear and it almost feels slightly psychedelic, i often have very detailed hallucinations while nodding like i think im with some other friends or something then i snap out of it all confused as to where i am.

people who use lower level opiates like hydrocodone probably arent used to the nod.... so once you get used to it im sure youll love it, especially with stronger opiates like oxymorphone, or dope in my case

however if im in a social situation yeah its not always great to be sorta tripping out and not conscious.
 
Yeah I have also gotten the hallucinations/racing thoughts, especially on the rare times that I have dosed the Opana more than once throughout the day. I didn't like the feeling and it made me swear them off (until the next day of course.)

Note that I am talking about fairly low dosages of oxymorphone...10-12 mgs insufflated.
 
nod, for me, was euphoric dreams . seductive for a young mentally fucked up kid like me.
no end to the misery that it brought me - glad that OP doesn't have the inclination .
 
Because it's delicious :)

I can see if you're trying to get work done or be presentable to other people that the nodding out would be a hassle. But if you're just sitting around with nothing to do a nod can be amazing.
 
Makes me not feel the back and hip/knee pain that i have 24/7. And unless i take a huge dose that is way more than my prescribed dose im not gonna nod at all. Like 150+mg of oxycodone at a time is the only way im gonna nod and thats way too expensive and costs me at the end of the month so i dont do it hardly ever.
 
It's relaxing and dreamy.

Love the feeling of slipping into a nod after a nice shot of heroin.
All of your problems and worries drift away in that special place.

Just don't disturb me during one, or I'll get pissed. :!

Hell yeah, I get pissed when people interrupt my nod. :X

And to the people saying something about a nod being psychedelic: maybe it's just the feeling of entering the hypnagogic state (between wakefulness and sleep) that seems trippy to you. I don't know, I may be wrong. I never found nodding too psychedelic, though.
 
well back when hydrocodone could make me nod like the best of them actually preffered it to oxy(oral) ..me being 15-16-17 or somthing ,anyway when i nodded baqck then i was always drunk when i took opy's aand i always shot for 20mg ...well whetsn i took it i would slipp into a wourld of nothing but happy thoughts,i would dream but be awake,so so so warm and "fuzzy" it was always happy "dreams" me sitting there laughing wit my eys closed just uh giggling

all the anxiety/depersonalization ,derealization would fade away... i was in another world
 
Having never tried K would it be similar to nodding? I absolutely love the series of dreams that run through my head when I nod EXCEPT after an amazing train of thought where I snap back to reality and think 'I should write that down.'

Needless to say, I never do.
 
To be in a opiate nod is one of the most selfish things anyone can do, pure pleasure for me, and no socializing/approval for you even if you're next to me. Also I find the adrenaline rush of knowing that you're very close to death can be a very hard lure to ignore. Maybe when you get that feeling that you're close, it causes an adrenaline rush to keep you awake/alive and that's just more positive reinforcement to nod again. I always wanted to nod in my addiction but I didn't get it very often, maybe I consciously stayed as aware as possible because I cared about my life just that much.
 
Nodding is complicated for me. I like it, but it always makes me worry that I am approaching oblivion...for good.
 
is nodding dangerous? i recently saw an article on BL about brain damage and opiates (due to brain hypoxia?)...

personally, i nod practically every time i dose oxy (maybe because i usually dose at night?) in fact, my oxy high always seems to follow the same progression of "stages".. the only thing that changes is the overall intensity of each "stage", depending on the dose:

initial "rush" --> stimulation + euphoria --> fleeting euphoria --> comfortable body high, no more stimulation --> awareness slipping --> nod --> sleep

i also find that i dont experience the "rush" or wave of euphoria if i redose again, which sucks. if the initial rush/euphoria was lengthened i could do without the nod, unless there was a rough comedown..
 
my oxy highs follow that same general timeline. same goes for tramadol only the stimulation is upped quite a bit and the transition from stimulation to sedation is much more pronouced. i tend to stick to sub-nodding doses with everything but opana, since nodding on oxymorphone is the bees knees.
 
i went for the nod EVRY time ,few times yea when i awoke it scared the shit aota me ,but i found a (could be) fatal dose u dont get the dereaming that comes along with the hitting the nail on the head and not be close to death but HAVY nod dreaming
 
fyi it is pretty common to like hydrocodone more than oxycodone. A smaller percentage of users like it better than oxycodone, but they (and me) are very adamant in that assertion.

I looove Opana, but have been doing Dilaudid lately - it is almost impossible to catch a nod off these, and they have a much more hydrocodone'esgue high. I do miss nodding out a bit, but I am really enjoying being awake and functional for my entire opiate experience lately.
 
Best nods I ever got were from hydrocodone. One time I forgot how long it took for tussionex to kick in, kept on sippin til I'd downed 3/4 of the bottle, and spent the rest of the night trying my damnedest not to fall asleep.

how do you dose your tramadol?
in the past year, ive only taken oxy and dilaudid as far as opiates go (wish i could find some opana!), but there is a shit ton of tramadol sitting upstairs but ive never bothered with it cuz im scared of randomly having a seizure..

ive found snorted dilaudid vs. snorted oxy difficult to nod off of as well.. its kind of like the oxy high but without the euphoria, stimulation, or nodding.. so its pretty lackluster (and this is from snorting 4-8mg, my oxy tolerance about 20mg to get a nod) but definitely not worthless. do you ever plug your D? ive got a 10ml food syringe laying around, not sure if id drop the cash on dilaudid when i can OC cheaper.
