Opiates and irritability

Hello all,

I know I am not alone when I say opiates cause me to become sensitive to annoying, agitating actions. Opiates also produce euphoric effects making me happier thus creating an overall good mood. These things may seem contradictory, but they both happen to me none-the-less.

For instance, if I am around someone who I already found to be overbearing it makes it ten times worse. There have been occasions where only one pestering acquaintance can irritate me so much (Let's say nonstop talking during Breaking Bad) to the point where my high is completely ruined and I actually become nauseous. Yeah, that's right. Opiate irritability can be so severe it actually makes me physically ill. I become more snappy and it ruins my mood.

Is there a scientific explanation for this?

Thanks.

That made me smile.

But yeah I get the same thing, especially with weaker opiates such as hydrocodone and codeine.

As for scientific reasons... Perhaps during the "irritable stage" of your nod certain neurotransmitters are depleted whilst others/endorphins are still flooded? And the combination produces irritable pleasure? Completely void of any hard scientific evidence; just a common man's thoughts. :)
 
Yeah, always with hydrocodone, and with higher doses everything gets worse. I've felt so mentally unstable and just a flat out wreck when coming down. But not so much with oxy. I prefer to take hydrocodone at night so I can just sleep when coming down
 
i get this too guys. opiates make me more open, while they also make me more arrogant. its like opiates grease my door hinges. my gate can swing widely open and welcome you and your thoughts, or it can swing shut in your face because i already know what your gonna say, and i dont have time for it. (impatience)
 
haha maybe we're just subconsciously disappointed we wasted money on hydro and take it out on everyone else.

Any anxiety on the comedown by the way?

That's a good analogy Aphex. But I'm actually irritated at people for no real reason whatsoever... shit those Chinese opium dens must get heated! :)
 
irony, i gotta ask, have you ever had any issues with benzos in your life? this may sound weird but im wondering if theres a connection. i never used to get these side effects from opiates when i was younger, but a few years back i got heavy into benzos and they made me extremely irritable and id snap at anyone or anything. since then, ive noticed my patience is like a worn out rubber band, some days are better than others. i wonder if the negative side effects they say linger from extended benzo use, mentally surface on an opiate. i know it sounds crazy but its crazy enough it might make sense.
 
sorry to get your hopes up, but no I was never addicted to benzos. But that doesn't make your theory wrong for YOUR circumstance. I have noticed it more in me after going through a heavy coke phase.. So maybe heavy abuse of drugs in general can darken one's personality a little bit?

And that sucks man, I would take a moderate opiate addiction over a benzo monkey on my back any day... Can't you actually die from the withdrawal?

Anyway hope everything's good now!!
 
i get irritable sometimes too, and arrogant. when i was on methadone i could be an arsehole, i used to really piss off my girlfriend by being argumentative and just a dick, it was a big reason why i decided to clean up. i also got quite manic at times on methadone and bupe.

i used to get irritable on high doses of heroin, especially if hadnt been using much and had no tolerance and couldnt sleep. an irritating combo of that opiate insomnia and the itches at that level where you cant relax because you have to constantly scratch yourself. left hand balls, right hand face.
 
Drugs mess with all kind of chemicals in your brain.

Opiates really effect your mood and out look that's why people take them recreationally.

When the chemicals wear off from being happy happy happy, then your body doesn't know what to do. It gets confused!

It can displays his by being emotional wreck, diarrhea, dissociation feeling, and just total weirdness.

I have anger with opiate use too. If I notice I'm overly emotional about something stupid I try to just let it go and take a break walk outside smoke, walk, water my yard. By the way my yard looks great! Lol!!

Just try to remember its not real anger and it's the come down or high. If you get mad at a friend for something stupid, try to apologize when things are better. It's not you it's the situation.
 
Yeah, I've had similar experiences when using various opiates: so much so that I generally only used alone, because I didn't want to have to deal with other people at all. Oxy was particularly bad for inducing irritability - maybe because of its stimulant properties, such as they are. It's counter-intuitive, but I also found myself irritable and not really for human company when on high-dose benzos...now that I'm tapering and constantly on edge (down from 100-200mgs diaz a day to 30-40 over the past eight months, with many a binge and relapse), I'm even less capable of being around people, much of the time. Ah well, they say it only takes a couple of years to recover...

I like this way of putting it
 
I agree with tricomd, use the search engine or google. We have had this thread so many times....

But yah, I get opiate rage hahaha, I get annoyed and irritated very easily especially from suboxone and oxycodone. Heron I didn't get that annoyed as much
 
haha I used to call this oxy-rage. Oxycodone does this 2 me...I'll have 30mg...then be like...this is what I spend my money on? This? I need another...
 
I know if I'm on a good Oxy roll and listening to one of my favorite CD's on the radio, I can't stand for someone to try and carry a conversation with someone else in the car (or me). It's like there's just too much going on around me and my brain goes on "overload", sort of like a pinball machine "tilting". I can't take it for very long before I just yell, STOP! But usually, I'm good and not much bothers me, go figure.
