Is it normal to still feel anxious during the euphoric rush of opiates?

I definitely enjoy the euphoric rush at the onset of the opiate high but the problem is I still feel just as anxious during that time period as I did before. I actually enjoy the second blissful sleepy stage more when my anxiety recedes. Does anybody know why my anxiety continues? I was thinking that the excess norepinephrine I have takes a while to clear out of the synapses in response to locus coeruleus inhibition. Does anybody else enjoy the second stage more than the first?

probably the histamines making you feel that way , try using some antihistamines

I used to get anxious if i over used when shooting up , never from smoking it tho .. maybe your using too much
 
are you new to shooting? Some of my friends used to get overwhelmed by the rush at first and it made them nervous until they got used to it.
 
I probably should have been more specific. I normally snort oxymorphone. I consider the comeup to be the euphoric rush. That's the period of time where I'm happiest but still anxious. It's an odd combination of emotions.
 
Maybe you re not aware of this, but some dosage of opiates on some FOAF were producing a freaking bad effect called Dysphoria...And it happens to people with no Tolerance, BUT it also can happen to people having good Tolerance, and as i'm not your doctor i cant say why...
But its not so rare...Check for Opiate Dysphoria on Google ;)
peace and take care
