Opiates and irritability

This used to happen to me randomly but a lot more often especially in the later stages of using. It must be a depletion of certain chemicals in the brain. But I think mostly it was wanting to nod off and being irritated at having to do stuff but it's weird because in the beginning of my opiate use I was so euphoric nothing could make me angry, I would be the friendliest mother fucker in the world and volunteer to do stuff and be all energetic. I guess this is just something normal with opiate use. I doubt you are going to get many scientist willing to research about this.

By the way my solution in the end was to start drinking heavily on top of my opiate use though that isn't an option I would personally recommend to others. It made me really happy but really sloppy and fucked up where I couldn't hide my use anymore (obviously)
 
i was just thinking about this topic as i snapped at my brother for no good reason. i think alot of it is psychological. I get a really socially lubricated and arrogant "i'm the man so don't fuck with me" type of mentality goin on, which tapers off as it becomes time for me to behave nicely in order to cop again. if i start getting dopesick, forget it, i will be the biggest bitch you ever met, but when im in a full w/d i'm meek as a lamb.
 
My ex girlfriend was really prone to fits of rage sometimes after she'd done a shot. She was known to get pissed in any given situation but I noticed it was about 10x worse when she was high and 15x worse when she was on the nod and you had to wake her up for whatever reason.

I'm not usually that bad. I'm probably more likely to get angry or frustrated during d/t but it really just depends on the people I'm around and the situation I'm in.
 
It is interesting. Opiates can make me extremely irritable, all the while getting me so high I feel amazing...
 
Nah, opiates make me happy and sociable. More likely to smile and say hi to strangers I pass in the streets, light someone's cigarette if they can't find their lighter, etc. Even though I get a bit anxious when I start to come down, I never externalize it.
 
The opiate irritability was 1 of the 1st major things I figured out on my first opiate session as a teenager(was yelling at the top of my lungs arguing with my best friend). Opiates always make me irritable/snobby no matter what but it comes along with it I guess. Sometimes its not bad at all like i barely did a opiate and other times its horrendous, especially with heroin for me which is 1 of many reasons why i don't use the drug anymore. I have figured out how to get through the irritability a lot easier though, meditation works and just plan ole tough it up, put your big boy pants on or for the females put their big girl panties on as they say.
 
I called it the opiate rage. The littlest things that would normally not bother me in the slightest would set me off like you wouldn't believe. For example, once I was with my friend in the car and snapped and freaked out at him for rolling a window up or some such shit; for no reason at all whatsoever.

I spent the next 30 minutes apologizing over and over again for snapping. Then I snapped again about something else.

I forgot the exact mechanism behind why this happens, but it does.

This does NOT mean that EVERYTHING bothered me or set me off. Far from it. As someone else said opiates made me very happy and sociable. To boot, your house could be burning around you while you're jammed and you could just sit there, contented and happy. But sometimes I would go off the deep-end for no reason.

From my personal experiences, hydrocodone and oxycodone were the worst culprits of this.
 
Funny, this happens to me quite frequently. In general I'm a very even-keeled person when it comes to dealing with others (I'm the guy who tries to stop everyone else from arguing). When I'm on opiates, I can become very touchy. It's as though I lose the capacity to ignore irritating circumstances and people. I will actually take the time to explain to someone why they are annoying, what is wrong with them, and why they should shut the fuck up. The level of frustration has made me borderline-vindictive in past situations.

Kratom has a similar effect at high doses, which isn't that surprising. I find kratom superior to opiates when it comes to socializing.
 
Does anyone get angry on heroin really easily?

When I'm on heroin, things that would normally only get me a little frustrated will get me really pissed. Does anyone else have this issue?
 
I go from really happy to opaite rage in .2 seconds....The littlest things annoy me and I feel like I want to kill someone...but at other times I am overly happy...I also get super speedy...it has the opposite effect on me...Instead of nodding it's like I'm on Cane...I dont get it..lol
 
Hmm not me, whenever I'm on heroin, I'm feeling too good to get angry and just let everything blow over me while I nod. Maybe thats just me though...
 
Yeah I can get opie rage on any opiate/opioid. Sometimes I get ticked off at the tiniest things or even nothing. This only happens sometimes though.

I feel like the most I've ever thought about quitting heroin was because of the anger. Ill blow up on my friends for stupid shit. I remember one day I was with two friends and they smoked weed and I did heroin. We were all high and enjoying our time and it was all going well. My friend got the munchies so he pulls out a bag of Doritos. I ask "hey man I hate to be a dick but could you not eat those now? I think I did a little too much and I'm a little nauseous" and he said he'd be quiet so I said alright should be fine. He ate so damn loudly that I snatched the nearly full bag and tossed it into a river.
I'm already somewhat prone to anger but I feel like on heroin it really brings it out rather than being able to suppress it.

I wish this was the case with me. When I nod I feel like a damn god. Especially when I get that perfect dose that I'm still very conscious and able to move around and not too heavy of a nod. I love that feeling. But then it just takes one little thing for me to blow up on my friends.

for a long time this wasnt a problem for me, but it seems like the more i have gotten clean, started using again, gotten clean etc. the more often it would happen. I went through wd this last week, and like 2 days before i quit i was being real mean to a good friend of mine... who was taking me to his appartment to dry out like 8 days ago now. i really havnt looked into the brain chemistry behind why there is a tendency to become angry while high. hah but i like to think that most of the times when it happens ime, i am concerned about my relationship to h as well as how other people are factoring into that.
 
Heroin just gives me an intense amount of apathy. I get irritated really easy on oxy tho, yep get the opiate rage.

Yeah when I'm angry like that I know I'm being a dick and I'm in the wrong but I just can't stop myself.

It's impossible to be stressed on heroin.

Yep , all opiates give me the irrits, I'll def lose my cool a lot easier when I'm using, especially if I'm not quite high enough.
 
I haven't done a whole lot of them or as frequently as others, but for awhile dabbled with opiates. Not sure if this is because I am not used to them but whenever I would snort any opiate I would first throw up, I don't know why. But we would laugh the whole time because we would all Ralph at once. (We were new to them) But After wards I was super hyper. Felt like a mild speed with a body buzz like Ecstasy almost. The others were totally different. They didn't care that I was so hyper, but they really didn't look like they cared about anything at that moment.
