Opioids Anyone experience this?

[drdmike]

I've been working nonstop. The people that I work with are also burned out. To complicate matters, I am working out harder and grad school has gotten a lot harder. I am trying to get to the first week of June when I will have a month or two off. Over the weekends, I use painkillers to chill and I feel great. When I go back to work, I am already fried. Is that from the drugs or my busy lifestyle?

Depends on what painkillers you're using in what dosages.

I habitually use opioids but also have a balanced diet and exercise regularly. My life is fine.

I use 150mg of tramadol with a sip of Codiene 2x a day on the weekends. I've been doing it for at least 6 months. However the high is the same so I am not developing a tolerance.

 

[Rybee]

That's very minimal use.

I'd look to address other factors than the doses of Tramadol & Codeine you're using.

Yeah that's a pretty minimal opiate tolerance. Very minimal, actually. It's still possible that your feeling some type of hangover effect, but if not then it is probably from other factors.
