Opioids Sudden Drop in Blood Sugar on opiates (oxy)

[Oxy8_8]

Everytime...I suddenly got shakey and ill and have to eat something sugary.
It SUCKS 'cause I'm gaining weight.

Is there anything I can take with it to stop that happening?

Are you diabetic?? I'm type one and have never had that reaction. Odd......

 

[Oxy8_8]

Nope :/
It's weird, I know. I can't think of any reason for it.

After having done just a lil research (google,wiki), this is not all that uncommon.

Do your dope, but keep OJ handy I guess.

You think having a glass of OJ whenever my blood sugar drops would help?

Are you testing you blood sugar level or just assuming?

Assuming. I've been bulimic for 11 years and after purging my blood sugar would often drop (that WAS tested) so I know what it feels like.
I will admit the possibility that it's just low blood pressure, not blood sugar but I have found that simple carbohydrates always resolve the issue fairly quickly.
I'd rather not keep eating every time though as I have gained 15lb in water weight recently (I have edema) so really don't wanna gain fat too.

Yeah, I find it very difficult not to eat large amounts of sweet stuff when I've taken oxy. I think it's pretty common.

I know it would.

Idk man, certain opiates make it easier for me to "green out" because i ALWAYS smoke while im on opiates, and once or twice i've greened out on codeine and vicodin along with really good weed.

When i was on vicodin i had had about 8, which isn't a terribly high dose for me, a shot of gin, a .5 of xanax, and faced a blunt of some loud weed.
When i returned home from smoking, i was at the computer and when i got up i got light headed, as is usual when im high, but instead of getting better like it usually does it got worse as i walked up the stairs.
Halfway up the stairs my vision went and i rolled down about 10 stairs lol....good thing i couldn't feel it!

And i do tend to crave sweets on opiates, i believe sugar and opioid addiction have been linked in humans.
