Opiate users love of sugar

[jackie jones]

What is the connection between opiate users and their love of sweets? is there an actual physiological/psychological connection between the two, or do we just like sugar?

(I have a heavy addiction to fruit roll-ups)

Hmm i don't know why opiates do this but other drugs do it as well. Remeron (mirtazapine) is a drug that is really bad for causing you to crave sweets and food in general really.

I crave fatty stuff as well as swseets which is why whern im on a regular dose of opiates i tend to put on weight.

sugar helps release dopamine, IIRC

Fuck yeah! Haha. I also have an ice cream fetish when I'm all doped up. Can't get enough. Ice cream sandwiches, ice cream filled cookies, ice cream in general, or anything else sugary will do.

Holy shit that's wild, I've never heard of that! The last couple of months I've been getting kinda bad with dope and in the same time period I've suddenly gone crazy for chocolate and candy. I have an insane curiosity to identify and enjoy what makes chocolate taste like chocolate and so unique.

Amazing! That just blows my mind.

opiates lower blood sugar levels, hence the sugar craving. your body actually needs it.

it is important with any opiate to get at least a couple pieces of chocolate or a sweet drink of some kind.

Because endorphins always go well with more endorphins.

Haha, I like this thread. The only thing I will eat on opiates is skittles.

 

[mmmCHRISx]

yeah for me only thing i even consider is ice cream or cereal

ice cream is bomb on some opiates with candy like sour patch kids coming in a close second. also its the same thing for me on benzos.

really when i'm all opiated i feel starved like i could eat anything. sadly then i go and eat a big delicious cheeseburger and throw it up soon after :/ well depending on how much i've had to eat and how many opiates ive done

I'll eat cereal when i am high buy not candies. I mostly eat alot of candies when i'm withdrawaling because that's all I can eat and it make me feel better for a second while I'm eating the candy.
