Everytime I do oxy I have a great time, yet I often wake up the next day with a splitting headache, and I have no idea what this is caused by. :X

Any tips to reduce post-nod "hangover?"
 
Sounds like dehydration. Make sure you get enough water down your neck before going to bed.

I've had the same problem. I just don't feel thirsty when I'm on opioids and I've got to force myself to drink enough water.
 
As an opiate addict I say this is common. I often wake up with a PIERCING headache; these are not lingering headaches but more of occasional 'bursts' of super intense pain that is almost debilitating. I drink a LOT of water on a daily basis. I carry around a Liter water bottle and drink at least 7 of them (full) a day in addition to juices and other hydrating beverages. I don't know if I'd blame the headache on dehydration. There is definitely something else going on that I'm not qualified to talk about/speculate upon.
 
You could have a headache due to blood pressure fluctuations.

I believe I've had the same headaches you are complaining about as I've been doing opiates daily for a few years now. I get the headaches more often when mixing stimulants with my opiates. Lying down when getting these headaches helps significantly, however, when getting up it hits me like a hammer on the head which leads me to believe that it has to do with blood pressure.

I highly doubt it's dehydration as opiates/opioids are known to cause fluid retention (with the exception of diaphoresis a.k.a. excessive sweating).
 
Excedrin Migraine should be your best friend. Shit kills any headaches.
 
I had a splitting headache for an agonizing 48 hours after the one and only time I've tried oxycodone (OxyDose, 20mg). I drank at least a liter of water that night, so I'm not sure it could have been dehydration. Needless to say I won't be doing this one again.
