Ever feel like opiates are synthetic happiness (in a bad way)?

Damn, I don't think I have ever read a post on Bluelight that I agree with more than that. Sounds exactly like something I would say.

I used to experience true happiness before I tried dope and coke but now it's like I know a secret knowledge and no meter what I do I know it will feel better when I take some drugs, I already experienced that great feeling like you are on a top of the world and after that there is nothing natural that can repeat it.At the beginning of my drug use I was really happy that I'm one of the "chosen" ones because most of the people in this world will never try hard drugs like dope or coke but now when I'm addicted I don't think about that.
My brother tells me: "Just stop,look what it did to you" and I always tell him-dude you don't know what you talking about you never ever felt like I feel every time I shoot my speed boll, all your money,cars,sex... don't feel even close to it. Sometimes I'm afraid he's gonna start using himself, because he knows I had everything in life before I started using and he knows I don't regret what happened.And till this day I think you can not feel as happy naturally (without drugs) as you feel when you start using drugs ( those first couple lines of coke and dope), nothing compares to it. Of course this feeling slowly goes away when you keep using.

Almost everyone who does drugs is usually because they're missing something, or better yet can't cope with normal life.
Which is why doctors say your brain stops maturing when you start doing drugs. The reason being is because you no longer have to develop new coping mechanisms. You have drugs.
So it's true infact that your brain stops maturing in that sense when you start doing drugs. Cause you no long have to learn how to cope when something goes wrong, or you get sad. You have something to make you feel good, or forget about it NOW.
That's all that matters, because being an addict means you crave instant gratification.
Ask a normal person if Advil works for pain and they'll tell you it does. Ask a drug addict and they'll say it wont, because you cant feel it. Or feel it instantly.
If they do take an OTC pain reliever they usually take a handfull.
One is too many and a thousand is never enough.
All opiate addicts do opiates because they're in pain, physically, emotionally or mentially. Bottom line.

It seems as if most of us who have responded in this thread share similar feelings and points of view in regards to opiate use and the "happiness" we experience. Along the lines of what I said before, if happiness is essentially nothing more than the result of having an ideal balance chemicals and neural activity, then why not supplement if desired to acheive that balance? I feel that we, humans, deserve the right to self medicate and to feel good and to feel happy, and I feel that the current pile of commonly pushed antidepressants are pathetically flawed. Opiates/opioids make me feel wonderful and I suppose, truly happy. But opiates as well as any other substances that make you feel good do so only by way of chemicals that are already present in your brain.
So I suppose the question is: Is the (synthetic) happiness that is perceived by the user when under the influence of a drug different, even if the processes taking place in your brain are nearly identical, to that of spontaneous, genuine, non substance-induced happiness?
Final Note- I feel that the word "Happiness" is highly subjective, and may often be left open for interpretation due to context, circumstance, etc.

yep, when i was taking opiates i remember thinking to myself that this was the way to live..it was like i was 'cheating the system' because i was basically content 100% of the time and nobody is like that normally...it made going out to eat more enjoyable, work more enjoyable, shovelling the driveway more enjoyable, everything was better under the influence...the problem is, when you eventually stop taking opiates, just try to go back and enjoy doing those monotonous tasks, you will go crazy with boredom...ive been clean for 3-4 years and i still fight the dullness of it all..with opiates boredom is non-existent, but without them, the daily grind seems to be amplified....
bottom line, like others have said, if you are now normally enjoying life, eating out, reading, watching movies, without drugs, stay that way no matter how much 'extra punch' drugs can give you..cuz once ya add the opiates, going back to normal is seemingly impossible in my experience and many others..im to the poitn now where i almost have to FAKE enjoying the daily things...

for me it took a long time to really "forget" about my opioid loves, and in my mind at that time those were the ONLY things I could take/do/try to obtain that would make me "happy". Eventually, I realized that they were running my life, stopped, used 'done to lessen my WD's, though it still was absolute hell. Then I just stopped. It took 5 or 6 months before I would go a day not wishing I had some sort of opiate. They say if you want help, it's there- and for most people that still have a family or some similar type of support system help can always be found.
