As great as they are, Some things piss me off about Opiates such as:
-The Itchiness
-Constipation
-Withdraws
-Someone interrupting a good nod

What is the worst for you?
 
Needing them daily for pain relief.
Needing to take one first thing in the morning due to dependancy.
Taking them for pain and feeling slight withdrawals when 6 hrs has passed.
Understanding what withdrawals are from opiates.
Being worried about the dr being shut down and you can't get more.
Worried what your friends and family think about you.
Hating the fact that you need them to control pain.

I think this is a good HR tread because it will show reader that opiates are not magic little happy pills that are harmless. It shows the dark side of opiate use.
 
mostly the constipation but i've been taking magnesium and it seems to really help, haven't had much trouble lately. I also sometimes get irritated and agitated, usually just at the start of the high then it calms down.

i also sometimes get terrible leg cramps if i go for a walk, i have no idea why this happens but the pain is intense. And i end up peeing a lot, so feel shitty from being dehydrated. Opiates do have quite a few side effects.
 
Magnesium

Hmm, I'll have to try some magnesium next time. Also, I haven't had those side effects before (except some during withdrawals), what opiate are you using? I've been using Hydrocodone.
 
What I hate about opiates/opiods:

  • Addiction/Dependance/WDs
  • Not being able to shit right (whether we're talking constipation or the other end of the spectrum, it's damn annoying not to be able to take a normal dump)
  • Being broke
  • Irritability
  • Loss of night vision
  • Lack of interest in things I used to like
  • Not being able to tell anyone, and the disapproval from the few you trust enough to tell
  • The shitty situations you end up in sometimes either when high or when trying to cop
  • Depression/Hopelesness

Specific to me- pinners that last unusually long (no lie mine linger for so long, sometimes more than 24 hours and I don't know why)

and feeling like you're missing something now that you're clean and you know it's for the best but you still feel like there's nothing better to do whether you want to use or not. The fear that your brain will always think that way and the resentment you hold for yourself for letting yourself ever get that way in the first place
 
constipation takes the cake for me. I take 300-400mg oxy a day and 200mg morphine a day... though oddly enough I was able to manage without taking ANYTHING for constipation until I started the morphine. I used to love taking a shit... nothing was more of a highlight of my day than grabbing a comic book, and letting one go... Not anymore. Now I dread it. I try to hold it off until I know the stool has turned to little rocks because at least that way my asshole won't tear open and bleed as much. But if I don't hold off, or something if I'm just unlucky, I swear to christ I've dropped grapefruits out of my asshole. They don't go "plunk" or "splash"or "plop" or "splish" when they hit the water.... now they go THUD. I go into a shit like that having not taken one one 2 weeks, and come out with hemroids. But no worries, they'll be gone by the time I have to shit again.

On the plus side, I haven't had diahrrea, literally, since I started using. On the downside.. well... my asshole bleeds everytime I shit, I sometimes spend 5 minutes staring at what couldn't have possibly come out of my asshole, I know with 110% percent certainty I will be spending at least an hour with the plunger, and sometimes even the business end of it just to try to break things up. That's what I hate most.

Sex drive is... well...who knows... but I can't be bothered to care (thanks opiates). WD sucks, I've luckily never had to go through w/d but there was one time when I ran out of my meds early and went 2 days. I have never felt such hell,and the worst part was according to the COWS, I was only on day 1... even though I had been 3 days, my symptoms were day 1ish... and getting worse.
 
The often smaller than expected line between euphoria and respiratory depression related death.
Too many times I have upped my dose then noticed my breathing is very shallow, not good.
 
FELONIES.
withdrawal
constipation (try miralax!)
scars
tolerance
collapsed veins
sober people judging you
having no real friends to trust
anxiety when dealer doesnt answer
 
For me, the worst thing about opiates are as follows:

* Abnormal bowel movements
* Withdrawals
* Depression (During withdrawals and of course even worse AFTER in PAWS)
* Wasting precious money that could be used for rent, other bills, new toys (games, computers, car) or most importantly food
* No matter if I have 10 pills to get me through a day, or 300 to get through a month, it is NEVER enough. Only able to think about how to obtain more, constantly.

That's just a small list. Yeah, taking opiate pills, or whatever your formulation, can feel good, hell it can feel GREAT, but like somebody else said for HR purposes, there is a whole 'nother side to the spectrum, a very dark, and unforgiving side. I found this site long ago by googling when I first got into drug use and opiate use (I am clean right now, thank god) and I seen it as a confirmation that what I was doing was ok. Not that this site didn't have a great HR aura to it, but I did find some posts that blatantly glorified the use, and that further instilled that fire in my brain to go ahead, crush up another roxi, grab the straw, and snort.

To anybody, who has never used opiates, or has recently just started, and is looking for advice, or even seasoned users that lean more to the rec side than the CP side.. HELL TO ALL OPIATE USERS, GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN. I am an addict. I respect the power these little pills have over your life, and the power they have over mine. I do NOT look down upon anyone using, because I know how easy it is to get trapped by this foul beast that we all LOVE and HATE at the same exact time. But I promise you, it is a slippery road, it can cost you:

* Your money
* Your possessions (you may begin to pawn valuables, stop paying bills, lose your house/apartment/car)
* Your children! Your spouse! Your family..
* YOUR LIFE

Please, think twice before you continue down this road. Much respect to all of us who struggle daily with this love/hate relationship with opiates.
 
Being a CPP, I feel you can deal w/ the worst side effects, sexual disfunction - histamine inflammatory, if you have good insurance
(or more than enough cash, hah!) If I didnt have insurance, I do agree that the all the side effects may outweigh the benefits. I can eat a diet that keeps me semi-regular. I too, feel the biggest problem is rebound pain/tolerance. I've said this many times, if you are a CPP ask your Dr. if he knows about the benefits buprenorphine provides (in conjunction w/ opioids) for rebound pain. without it, my tolerance would steadily climb to rediculous levels.

Edit: Extended release medication does not work for me, some of you may want to keep this in mind if you are not getting adequate pain relief ! I no it is because of the procedure which most are formulated, It may as well be a small pebble. In the past, the original oxycodone wouldnt even dissolve, I had to cut them in half to receive pain relief !

heh.. worst thing about opiates for me.. its gotta be the addiction. my mom kicked me out, and my dad was just about to kick me out of his house, when i got on methadone. methadone saved me. if i didnt start MMT, i'd be on the streets now :( but im not! :) thanks to MMT im working full time and living a busy, positive life!! :D
 
The worst thing for me is that I'm no longer interested in any other drugs, nothing can compare once you're really used to opiates. Especially H, the whole culture that goes with it is addictive and repulsing at the same time, it's unique, but in a bad way.
