Opioids Hydro Hangover

If you abuse hydromorphone you probably have experienced a hangover the next day. I'll assume it happens to hydrocodone users as well since it metabolizes into hydromorphone.

I don't experience any side effects such as nausea or headaches from any other opiates (I use oxycodone and morphine most next to hydromorphone).

After a year of using hydromorphone relatively regularly I no longer really get sick the next day. Except today because I insufflated more last night than I ever have before (a little over 24mg). But my girlfriend still, every time, experiences a hangover the next day.

So I was just curious if anyone here can relate with this problem?

And if anyone had any tips on how to relieve the hangover or make it easier to bare?

I found that getting some vitamins in me helps. And some milk.

Oh and smoking some weed has already been noted haha.



P.S. In case no one has ever experienced a hangover from hydro*; my first time doing hydromorphone i snorted waaaaay too much (like lethal amount, im lucky to have come out fine) and was puking with a ridiculous headache, no feeling in my left foot, couldn't keep any food or drink down. And that lasted for 2 days, regained feeling in my foot after 5 days.

And there has been several times I didn't leave bed for a whole 24+ hours except to puke.

It got to the point where the high wasn't even worth the after effects. Mind you, I have been feeling like the hydromorphone "magic" has been dying a bit lately.

If you abuse or over-do any opiate you can get a nasty hangover; believe me, I've experienced some hellish ones even just from poppy seed tea.

I'm not sure what to do except be more carefull with your opiate use - once the damage is done, it seems to be done.

Plenty of water and good cannabis is all I can think of. EDIT - And if possible, lying down in a dark room.
 
Ya lol we definitely lay down in a dark room every time we encounter this. It's a phase thing I believe, because I don't experience it anymore and I consumed 24mg again last night and woke up in a great mood with energy this morning at 10:30am.

Ya plenty of water is good, you're right. It dehydrates so much lol.

But I do a bunch of oxy and morphine to the point that im nodding hard with absolutely no adverse effects. It's strange. Something about hydromorphone...

Also, I found this when I googled this topic:

So evidently it is a common issue, hahaha.
 
I've never had a hangover from opioids. Doesn't make much sense to me tbh. I've of course felt shitty after using opioids but thats from abusing them to frequently (building either or both a psychological and physical dependence). I know some people who feel shitty [dysphoric] after using opioids, and they always have some sort of mental issue going on (like depression, anxiety, etc.). So when they are on opioids they feel fantastic, but once the high is over and the next day rolls around, they are back to their old self and old problems. Its not that the opioids are making them feel terrible, but there is that big contrast in their sense of well being and some psychological side-effect of coming off the opioids.

actually the only opioid I ever felt a hangover is kratom. Though it was likely not from the opioid effects but its other pharmacological activity

It's not a crash hangover though. It's literally like an alcohol hangover just with a worse headache. And can possibly last way longer than an alcohol hangover could.

Anyone I know of around where I live who has tried hydro has experienced this except those experienced enough to the point where hydro hangovers no longer happen.

I've read a thread on this on another forum and a lot of people say smoking weed is the best haha.

I guess from my research I'd say have a nutritional drink filled with vitamins and smoke some!
 
never had one, the most iv ever taken though was 35mg of hydro with 3500mg of apap, all it did was dehydrate me the next mourning
 
Idk I find if I kept snorting them all my problems were fine except maybe when I really needed some sleep lol.
