I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with the comedown feelings from stim use. I know a lot of it is due to so much dopamine being released at the time and then afterwards you're left with a lowered level for a bit.
I know opiates also release some dopamine but do they also have the after effect of leaving your levels temporarily lowered? I feel like it's different since i seem to just return to baseline after opiate use. But I want to know for sure, even if the level drop is subtle.
And I'm referring to very occasional use. I'm not talking about using opiates for days on end. Just a use of pharms no more than 4 times a year and maybe some kratom every couple of weeks or so.
Do I have anything to worry about? Addiction aside of course, that's a different risk that I'm aware of but it's not one of my concerns relative to this specific post.
Thank you in advance for any input and experiences!
