Opiates and irritability

This happens to me on oxy.

I'll be enjoying my high, then someone can do or say the littlest stupidest thing and it sets me off. Then my high is completely ruined causing me to become even more pissed.
 
I get the same thing from opiates... sometimes best euphoria ever thats normally when im first coming up and the irritability normally comes later in the high

For instance when i shoot dope theres no fucking way anything in the world would irritate me while im rushing

Which i will be in about am hour and a half when im off work

Which i already mentioned in another thread

But its a glorious fact so it deserves a double post :)
 
I definitely experience this irritability.. not all the time, but I've definitely noticed it several times. Others think it's most common with oxycodone? I've only experienced it on oxy, but my opiate use is pretty limited.

I'm not quite sure what sets off this anger though... it usually doesn't happen unless I'm stressed about something such as leaving the house for work - then I'd be all snappy with my mother or girlfriend about almost anything.
 
I think of the opiate high as like a tranquil pond, then a depth charge is detonated in it.

I find that opiate irritability is very common. I've gotten into shouting matches on opiates and seen others get into fights. It happens whether you're high or coming down, and with any opiate/opioid. It seems worse when you're sort of high but not down, but that's probably because you're half asleep during the high.

Like alcohol, you need to control yourself and not let it take over. If you recognize it and try to stop it, it'll be milder.
 
I got this way when i was doing heroin. It felt as if my fuse was very short. Id just snap sometimes. Then id feel bad and apologize. The worst was when i was tire but couldnt sleep (opiate insomnia) then see the girl i was with sleeping soundly. It was like "if i cant sleep then you cant either bitch!" Even worse if she wouldnt put out
 
I feel like, once we get high, there's no more irritability; but if it's been a long day, we haven't sniffed any bags yet, we're trying to get our shit together, trying to figure out who we're going to go see and how much we've got to spend and all that shit... yeah, sometimes even the littlest thing will just set me off at that moment.

But, then we get the bags, and everything's gravy. :D
 
I call it the opiate rage.

Little things that normally dont piss you off can suddenly become the straw that broke the camels back. like normally i am a very peaceful, passive chill dude who lets a lot slide. No sense getting worked up over shit that happened in the past; it normally takes a lot to set me off. But when i was on opiates i would go off on closest friends for the SMALLEST SHIT. Like over nothing.

Then i'd spend 20 minutes apologizing over and over again.

And not always. Its not like every time i did opiates i was like this. It just is that it was a REAL possibility, that something small and minor and insignificant (ex my friend closing a car window while i was smoking) would light my fuse out of no where.

I noticed the worst culprit was probably hydrocodone (vicodin). Then probably oxy (esp bc it was stimulating IMO and had me doing lots of shit and constantly active) and ron.
 
lol, talk about making some fucked up comments while nodding.

My cousin's ex-gf was a little overweight not much but she was really sensitive about it. she was talking about something or another while I was trying to nod in peace.. and I threw in the subtlest little dickhead comment about her weight.. so subtle that my sober brain would never think of it, and so deeply cutting my sober brain would never think to utter some shit like that. (also so subtle that i can't even explain it properly without like pages and pages of background story.. so i'll leave it at that) ended with my cousin and I having a shouting match, me throwing his phone across a field then apologizing profusely..

that was just the first time i did heroin..
 
This is something I've noticed wine most recent times Ive used heroin.. I actually seem to get more easily stressed out and pissed off when I'm on them then when I'm not.

Then again, I've only been using heroin (disregarding my daily methadone dose-it's low enough that it doesn't block), and for the most part, pretty shitty heroin at that. These days I'm not even sure if the garbage I get is even dope at all, or some disgusting crushed up pill cocktail...you know something is wrong when you just cant get a rush.

In a way I suppose it's a good thing. Since the dope is such trash I really feel no drive at all to go out and hustle up money to cop. I only use it in fact, when it's around. I'd much prefer Dexidrine, adderall or the occasional benzo's nowadays.
 
When I was using oxy 80's and overdid it, I would get super grumpy sometimes. My friend brought this to my attention because I didn't recognise
it. Just stupid things would set me off. Gradually my doctor stepped me down to 30's and I didn't have the mood swings. Just itching and scratching...
 
I usually am tranquil and quiet when I'm high on opiates(heroin). My older brother on the other hand gets very annoying and irritated; just plain angry and for some odd reason starts yelling at our cats when they do something wrong or misbehave in any little way. It sounds funny but the way he gets it seems as if the more dope he snorts the angrier he gets and you can't say anything to him cause it sets him off worse...anyone else see this or experience this behavior??
 
Ahhh yes good old opiate rage. How can some so relaxing, and euphoric cause so much random rage? I will never understand why this happens...it's the worst when my high wears off but even during the high I can snap at the dumbest shit. I can be nodding, feeling amazing, but as soon as someone annoys me i'll go off on them. It's even stranger because my sober personality is the complete opposite of this (i'm always calm, cool, and collected...never angry at anything). I get the opie rage with every opiate but the worst is from oxycodone probably because of it's stimulation. Morphine is another bad one when I get too itchy.

I totally concur and I do believe it's stimulating qualities are to blame. I personally think it (oxy) almost has a sort of speed side to it. I know if I'm home alone and buzzing, I'll run around and do the dishes or pick up junk laying almost like I'm in a manic state. I think it's that manic part that causes the "overload" of the brain and hence, the irritation. Just my two cents.
 
after my h shot leveled off and started on the down I'd get really irritable or codeine/codones would make me irritable as well. hell all opis made me irritable. lol.
 
Hydromorphone causes me to be so irritable. Other opiates do as well but not as much as hydromorphone. Morphine is the only one (however I've never tried heroin or fentanyl) that doesn't cause irritability. At all.
