Do you find opiates make your anxiety better or worse?

I've been prescribed pain killers for a kidney infection and i found i didn't really need my daily xanax. However when i saw a cop drive past me, and in my rear-view mirror watched him hit the brakes, and put his car in reverse, i had the worst anxiety attack ever. I was shaking for 45 minutes after it happened. I wasn't even doing anything illegal i'm just constantly paranoid of going back to jail and i hate seeing cops. also my girlfriend was in the car and she has a no-contact order with me so if the police caught us together she would get thrown in jail. I was shaking for a long time and couldn't get that out of my head. Why did the cops slam on their brakes and throw it in reverse?

I also find i can snap a lot easier. Like something little happens it really pisses me off. I was trying to text and my phone is an old piece of shit and you can't type too fast or the phone doesn't register the buttons pressed and it kept misspelling words, and the keypad wasn't lit up and i was driving and couldn't see which buttons i was pressing and it would never type the word i wanted and i just go so fed up i just whipped my phone at the passenger side door.

i'm not like this when i'm on xanax, or even when i don't take my xanax. I just notice a huge increase in my OCD symptoms when i don't take it, and the panic doesn't seem to be as bad even when i'm off of them. But i didn't feel the need to take the xanax until 45 minutes after that police scare and i couldn't stop shaking, and i haven't taken my second prescribed dose yet.

How do opiates work for your anxiety? better or worse?
 
I am way too inebriated to read your post, but opiates make everything better. In the short term. In the long term, you will stop worrying about all of the things you were previously worried about, and your entire life will revolve around the drug. If you have anxiety, you will feel that times ten once your stash runs out and you have no money to buy any more. It is a path best not chosen.

Shit, I'm going on a week long dope binge because my Heat lost tonight. It's the only coping mechanism I got left.
 
i'm pretty sure i got cheated on so i took a bunch of hydros up the nose and some xanax. im not shaking on having anxiety attacks... mixed together i think it's an excellent combo
 
Im confused.....you are taking about opiates in your thread title & then go off & talk about xanax in most of your statement.

Anyway, when I first started taking opiates prescribed for back pain, I would agitated easily for some reason. When I first tried oxy the 1st month, same thing but now I dont get agitated when I take my meds.

I think everyone gets excited & their heart skips a beat when they see a cop hit the brakes & come towards them, I sure do. I start thinking is my inspection sticker up to date, etc.....im assuming you shake the way you do because of excessive anxiety in your life. I know I would be wired up if my gf was with me alot & there was an order for her to stay away, yikes! I would be downing xanax for sure.

Over all for me, opiates for now calm me down. They chill me out & I like that. They are great for my back pain & also provide a great stress relief. Two for one thing, cant beat it.

I gotta do what I gotta do. Or else I'll be a belligerent little asshole all week.
 
i wish i had a steady connect for opiates. but then again maybe its a good thing i don't.. i dont understand how anybody knows someone who has a prescription for pain killers that doesn't end.

like do you just know a ton of different people who are in pain, do you rob them, like how? i've never met a person who was prescribed pain killers (even for major surgeries) and had more than a 1 month refill after their first pick up. How do people even get this shit prescribed for so long?
 
There was already a thread on agitation caused by opiates I believe.

If you are already taking Xanax regularly, nothing is going to replace the drug quite like itself.

The situation you are relaying would throw anyone into panic mode, hydrocodones up the nose (gross) or not. Please, in the future, take your Vicodin or Norco by mouth, there are just so many fillers and limited bioavailability when snorted.

grrr8Dane, I couldn't agree more. Love Gizmo. My first ferret was named Mogwai after that precious little guy.

Mainly people with cancer and terminal illness. Or longstanding back pain, in my experience. That's where my guy gets his percs and roxis from.

It's true, opiates are not prescribed long term because of their addictive potential and other routes available for pain relief. OTC painkillers actually do work for pain. However the euphoria is not there unfortunately.

And please, please do not snort your hydros, parachute them or whatever, but snorting is just going to waste most of the active drug and kill the membranes in your nasal passage.:\
 
I gotcha. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I immediately think hydrocodone when I hear hydro. Sorry if my comments about it were found to be irritating. Just trying to help really.

I'm prescribed Xanax myself and still find that I need them even when on high doses of oxycodone, so you are not an anomaly.
