Weird sleep after Oxycodone

[ThisIsKitty]

Last night as most of you know, I popped 2 5/325 percs. I wasnt expecting to feel any euphoria, just a nice relaxed state. Turns out I got a good rush of it, and I was off balance when trying to walk (Not to the point of staggering but I had to put a little more effort into my steps) So that was all good. The second hour in I started falling asleep at my computer so I decided to hop in bed. I was on my tablet screwing around and every 5 minutes or so Id put it down and close my eyes. Id go into this weird state, its like I was awake but sleeping at the same time. During these states I got a feeling of discomfort as if everything was going wrong. When I left these states I got a rush of joy because I came back to reality and realized nothing truly bad was happening.

It was an odd feeling of uneasiness. It completely threw me off, and yes I did get a little scared. I didnt wanna sleep but eventually I succumbed to it and went to bed. I woke up feeling extremely refreshed but groggy and depressed. For the most part I enjoyed the high but it was the sleep part that fucked me over. Is this normal? I noticed a pattern when I take any sort of drug, be it DXM, weed, or opiates. I get similar results when trying to sleep.

Maybe its just the anxiety of me knowing its bad for me? Mind you, Im not addicted. This is my first time doing an opiate in months. Ive done hydrocodone maybe 3 times in my life and codeine.


Edit: I forgot to mention I have bouts with sleep paralysis a few times a month. Im starting to think I have a sleep disorder. A couple months ago I actually slept walk for the first time in my life. I thought my ceiling was falling and I ended up jumping out of bed and running to the kitchen looking for bacon.

yeah, this happens sometimes, i call it "nod terrors"... it's happened to my girlfriend many times, i didn't really believe it until it happened to me once (but i've never experienced it subsequently) but yeah i don't know where such a feeling of abject terror can come from when one is so high. sometimes this will be accompanied by jerking awake in a fairly violent fashion. my girl is on MMT now and this still happens to her from time to time, but now only when we're trying to go to bed, not nodded off on the couch or in a chair, lol. anyway you needn't be bothered by it, a lot of people report this sort of thing happening, if only occasionally.

It's the same thing as fright when in sleep paralysis, or going into a lucid dream. Drugs aren't really noted for their incredible effect on sleep patterns, generally. Also sleep paralysis is not a disorder, it's just a misunderstanding. When the body begins to enter a dream and you are still half conscious, fear develops out of assuming you're paralyzed, it's not a malady but rather misinformation. How many times as a young child have you jumped up because you thought you were falling or the sky was falling on you? Happens to almost all kids growing up because children fall into a deep sleep easier than adults, but i think to say all kids have a disorder would be pushing it.

Ill tell you one thing, sleep paralysis and nod terrors definitely are far from pleasant

An important thing about drugs is they all have their negatives and those negatives manifest everyone in their unique individual weak spots, so getting high is usually a sacrifice in some manner as much as it is a sacrament.

This would happen to my girlfriend she took any amount of OC. She had her worst nightmares when she had that drug in her system. I can tell you one thing through my indirect experience with her was that they did not go away over time. It is probably going to have to be something that you need to weigh the pros and cons over. Best of luck.

I have had what I believe is sleep paralysis on oxy and heroin a few times. I think I also had it once when clean but was using melatonin to help sleep, that was the first time, never used that stuff again it was so scary. The times when I was on oxy/heroin, and it was only like 3 times, I was taking a mid day nap. I was lying there supine, which is not the way I ususally sleep, typically I only take naps like that and I do feel when sleeping supine my dreams are more lucid. SO anyway, these times it happened it was like I was awake in bed but couldn't move, and then I would think "hey, I am dreaming" and try to wake up. And I would think I woke up multiple times only to find myself in the same paralyzed state in bed. It honestly happened to me less than 2 weeks ago. I though I was having a stroke, it was like I was able to think somewhat clearly to the pint where I was convinced I was having a stroke and dying right there in bed. But I eventually woke up after like 4 or so times where I thought I was waking up only to be in the same state of mind. And I will say it was probably the most scared I have been in forever.
