Ok, first a little back story... I had a 3 year Oxy addiction from 2008-2011. After some bad shit in my life I finally quit and moved to NY to start over. I've been clean since June 2011, but only in the sense that I haven't ILLEGALLY purchased drugs. I've gotten a few legit scripts for Hydro's since I've been up here, but that's a different story.
Anyway. I'm certainly not mentally addicted anymore, and I live a pretty normal, craving-free life.
But that's not the point.. here's my question:
The other day my girlfriend took me to the ER cause I was having some bad stomach pain, which I actually think is my gallbladder. In the ER, not much was done to help me other than giving me drugs and doing some blood work. They decided to give me IV morphine. After the first dose, I didn't feel shit. Which was surprising to me, as I was expecting not only for the pain to subside, but for some euphoria and other effects of such a strong opiate to kick in, but nothing happened.
30 minutes later the nurse comes back in and asks how I'm doing, and I say that the morphine did nothing. So she gives me another, even stronger dose. Same thing happened as before, I didn't feel too much other than the fact I was getting a little sleepy. I never felt euphoria or anything like that.
Has anyone else experienced this? I think that a normal person who's never done opiates before would be high as a damn kite from this shit, but not me. The funny thing is that my dependence is gone and my brain has had almost a year to recover from my past Oxy addiction.
But why in the hell wouldn't morphine have an effect on me now?
