Will opiates ever feel good?

[skittlezzzz]

I have been experimenting with opiates over the last year and a half and I still have yet to figure out why people are head over heels in love with them. The first experience was with hydrocodone and I looked on here for a good first time dose and many people suggested 15-30 mgs. I tried 30mg the first time and the only thing that happened was I seemed to be a little more sedated. I didn't feel any kind of body high or euphoria. Many people report feeling warm throughout their body but that did not happen to me. I waited about 2 months and tried hydrocodone again but this time I took 65mg. The only difference between this time and the last was that I guess I started to nod a bit but in no way did I feel euphoric or warm. It was pretty much the same feeling I would get if I were to take a sleeping pill and try to fight sleep.

To make a long story short I've tried oxycodone in doses ranging from 15-60mg, codeine in doses up to 350mg and still I get no kind of euphoria or body high. I wait at least a month between uses so that I don't build a tolerance but I don't think I will continue to experiment with opiates because I doubt I will ever find why people enjoy it so much...fml

Is there anything I can do that will allow me to enjoy it? Or will opiates just never be that great for me since I haven't had any success yet?

I've done codeine, dextropropoxyphene, hydrocodone, oxycodone (percs and 40mg oxycontin), hydromorphone, opium, poppy pod & poppy pod tea, morphine, as well as snorted and smoked heroin.

I have nodded, I have puked, rolled around on the carpet naked trying to scratch, but never achieved anything other than a mild euphoria (and that was from oxycontin, still nowhere near to that of cocaine or mdma). I guess some people just react different to them.

The main thing I feel is a calming effect with a bit of euphoria. It just makes life more pleasant imo.

Some people don't react the same to opiates. Literally. I read a study about it, 1 in 8 or 10 (something like that) don't achieve the pleasurable effects from opiates due to body chemistry. My mother does not find anything pleasurable from opiates, just the side effects so she absolutely hates them. There are also some people that are more sensitive to the effects.

So just leave them alone. You obviously won't ever feel euphoria or a body high if 65mg hydrocodone didn't get you high only the second time that you ever tried opiates. Or if 60mg oxycodone did nothing.

Is there anything I can do that will allow me to enjoy it? Or will opiates just never be that great for me since I haven't had any success yet?

No, you won't ever experience a high from them, just give up. No reason for an accidental habit from a drug you don't even enjoy. It happens.

For me, the primary euphoria hits right when the first receptors start to bind and I can first feel the drug coming up. Its a feeling and sense that all is right in the world and, (when its really strong) that I can conquor the world.

Yeah some people just get virtually nothing out of them. And then some of us go on to develop long term addictions because we like them too much

I don't react well to opiates either. Join the club. I dont like opiates anyway. I'm a stimulant kinda chick.

 

[lostsoul.On.E]

everyone has their own thing. ive tried to achieve this opiate high too but always fail. on the other hand i love benzos, and some people dont like them at all.

Everyone is different. I have never felt anything other then a little alertness from cocaine, and I've tried it over ten times (all trustable sources). I do quite enjoy opiates tho, railing 30mg Oxycodone is one of the most enjoyable experiences IMO other then MDMA.

I do have a ridiculously low tolerance to opiates tho.

It took me several uses to get that pleasurable content "baby in a crib" feel.

I don't even dabble with heroin anymore, that was over a year ago. But I still remember that warm comforting feeling.

Do urself a favor and quit before u get started.

If it makes you feel any better, I think I am the same.
I've tried codeine, dihydrocodeine, oxycodone, morphine and opium in varying amounts. And I've never really experienced anything on them that I would describe as euphoric or even particularly pleasurable. Isn't that fucked up?!

All of them (with the exception of codeine which makes me feel very sick if I go much above 80mg) seem to induce a mild, day-dreamy effect where random thoughts and images constantly flow through my head and interrupt my normal thinking. It's all just pointless, random stuff though, nothing insightful and neither especially pleasant or annoying. Higher doses seem to just give me insomnia, nausea and usually a terrible headache the next day.

They do work just fine for analgesia though.

I only warmed to them slowly I initially just enjoyed the release and dreamscape that developed in my mind.
The body effects didn't matter I was young healthy and strong.

Further along I enjoyed the ability to keep going when depression/lack of direction were major factors and kept me going till I turned my life around.... 1st accidental addiction though and quitting methadone is agonisingly slow to return to normal(although far easier than benzos)

Next some dabbling

Then depression/lack of direction came again..... I felt I could only find myself and what I was looking for while on opiates I found a good supply of morphine and went forth prepared to risk everything and I walked that walk as my destiny embraced over a few months, I held my job down I changed who I was I started to like myself and then actually hated being so unemotional, not feeling pain warmth cold or happiness..... I was ready to quit, I succeeded and relapsed maybe 4-5 times for 2 weekly stints although everytime I finished it took me a week to feel normal again.

Even though I now hated the detachment every time I used after I would compulsively use whatever stash I aquired, fortunately or not I also now suffer serious IBS which can be difficult to clear relating to any opiate use... Given my motivations now I am finally doing well to stay clear.

They are my Heaven and Hell, they saved me when it seemed nothing else could, although at a cost to my health in aging and IBS that comes on easy and lack of exercise resulting in back problems, RSI a knee injury from my muscles recovering faster than my joints.
Finally Yoga, Diet and exercise are getting me better now but it is a long road.

Hindsight: As quoted to drug use being like a phone call..... when you get the message hang up and RUN....If I had done this things would be perfect.
