What is it that causes opiate anger? i've not really known any drugs to cause anger, except for alcohol and PCP. they don't particularily cause anger though, more forward agression.

Whenever I do large doses of oxy or heroin for long periods of time, I find myself getting wrapped up in a cloud of constant irritation. almost every little thing seems to piss me off - people, video games, books... and i've heard other people say similar things. just wonder what your thoughts are on this.
 
Yeah I get the opiate irritation too and get angry about shit that wouldn't usually bother me, I reckon it's just because you're totally self absorbed and anything that brings you out of your own world is an irritation. I don't doubt they lower your impulse control too so you're more likely to actually come out and tell people off whereas if straight you'd hold your tongue.

Welcome to the magnificient world of opiates =/
 
yeah, it happens, the littlest things are highly irritating and totally spoil your "good mood". It's a bitch isn't it? Almost makes you wanna do more to get over it.
 
If I've taken opiates when I know people are around, I don't get as angry unless they continually request my time, talking to me (roommates) asking me to do things (family).
If however, I have deliberately planned a day when no one should be round and them somebody unexpectedly comes home...
Ooooofff...
 
When I'm on opiates I start getting mad about things that haven't even happened
like I'll think up a situation where somebody I know would do something that they would likely do - and start getting mad about it.
its ridiculous

this is soo true. opiates do tend to send you into your own little world, whwere you and yourself are perfect and at one with your world. people can talk to me and make some requests, and if it jives with what i want to do or what i'm thinking about i'll jump to it... but if someone says something stupid or totally irrelevant to the current situation it'll just push one of my buttons and i'll find myself lit like a short wick about to blow up.

this is the source of my opiate anger, whenever someone or something gets in my way with something. I have never become violent because of it, but I can be a real prick.
 
aye, opiates have never brought out violence in me - but if someone DID bother me enough to make me want to beat the shit outta them, i wouldn't know where to stop. that's where you gotta watch yerself.

oh jesus this is SO true. That IS where you have to watch yourself, lol.

opiates make me calm as fuck until the slightest thing annoys me then I'm a fuckin douchebag. Even on suboxone I would start fights with people I really shouldn't have just cuz I thought i was right about something.
 
I get it too... lol I am easily irritated anyways but when I am on opiates (with a buzz) not normal pain management amount. I get super annoyed but only with people.
 
yup..... the bitch comes out to play once I shoot some dope...... It's a very common S/E...
 
when my opiate buzz wears off i get irritable, angry, diff. symptoms for each opiate. for heroin when the high wears off, i get depressed and just bitter. when my OXY high wears off, every1 annoys the FUCK OUT of me and i bitch asbout everything and got a huge attitude.
 
I find myself being snappy and short with people and extremely impatient, which sucks cause I am constantly watching my 3 year old so you can imagine the amount of times I snap on her when I'm opiated when I'd usually just take a deep breath and deal
 
Opioids indirectly cause a down regulation of several "feel good" chemicals. Serotonin for one. I think the moodiness is more biochemical than psychological. Moodiness is a sign you should cut back a little.
 
Haha, I find I get super agitated on heroin, i'll be high as shit, but my heroin buddy usually asks stupid questions all the time and I usually snap at him and call him stupid and bitch at him for like 5 minutes. I'm quite a piece of work on heroin :(
 
Heroin used to do this to me, but since being on methadone, when I DO have my daily dose I am just fine, not angry or anything. But like TODAY when I haven't dosed since fucking TUESDAY I can be a real fucking asshole to anyone for just about anything. You could hand me a winning lottery ticket and I will be like "Only 20 million? I WANT 30 YOU ASSHOLE"
