It's weird how different people have different reactions with meds. I have taken percocet and norco and various pain meds and for the life of me cant understand how anyone could develop and addiction I get as much enjoyment to lead to taking more out of a tylenol which is none. Never been worried about an addiction cuz it's stupid a beer does more. If you wanna take drugs dont be a pussy and pretend get some heroine or meth or something.

Same here. 10 years ago in college I had a collapsed lung and needed surgery. They gave me some pretty heavy stuff after I was released but told me I was okay to drive in 2 days. I went to work which was on campus about 8 miles away, I felt like I was doing 90 mph but was only doing 30.

I am also scared of opioids. I had the first surgery (EENT) of my life last year, and I gutted out the first whole week post-op with just aspirin.
I finally took oxy after I couldn't take it no more. It helped a lot more but I'm still glad that I minimized the amount of time I was on them. This also meant that I ended up with a big surplus of the stuff. I may or may not have checked the street value of this stash before ultimately destroying it. Just "out of curiosity" of course... |

In the ER a few years ago, the nurse gave me an injection of liquid Demerol. A few minutes later she asked how I was feeling. Jokingly, I said, "It still hurts" while winking at the girlfriend. The nurse loaded me up again! At this point, I feel no pain and my field of vision became pretty blurry and I had a hard time focusing/concentrating on anything. The Dr. comes in the room and asks how I'm feeling. I gave the same response and he had the nurse shoot me up again! They take me back to imaging to do their business, take me back to the room and I shit you not, they loaded me up again. It was at this time I lost count of how many injections they had given and honestly it seems like they shot me up twice more before I left. After leaving, i almost threw up in the parking lot and the ride home was nothing short of a Pink Floyd video. I don't remember anything else after the car ride.

I’m so tired. I need this shit to end. I don’t remember the last time I had a good nights sleep. I have no problem falling asleep, my problem is staying asleep. I need the TV on to fall asleep. I know the noise and light disrupts my sleep so I started shutting it off the first time I wake up. Bad move. I guess the “noise” keeps my brain occupied. Once I shut the TV and go back to sleep without the noise, I have bizarre, troubling dreams. So I’m leaving the TV on all night. Might need to get one of those noise things-ocean waves or something.

Opioids have their place in pain control. Believe me I'm not a big proponent. Dental pain is surely one of the applications. Short term use I have no problem with. Long term use/abuse is something I've been dealing with for 20 years With patients.

But that experience screwed me up. The Dr even said she gave me the lowest dose of a mild opiate...if they make them. I thought they were all the same. God how I hated that feeling. Ive never had any pain medication since aside from an ibuprofen...and that is rare. Im so sensitive to stuff, when she injected the numbing agent into my gums....my heart felt like it was going to come out of my chest!

I dislike that my wife is the same way. Your brain works when you sleep and can discern sounds you should drown out and ones that should wake you up, someone in the house, a car breakin, alien invasion whatever. It frustrating as hell to me to have to drown out potential dangers because someone is too lazy to make the effort to become accustomed to letting their body work properly instead of using a crutch. Some crackhead will be standing in the room and yell gotcha bitch and I will just say told you so.

No getting ready for the gym. The fan can only drown out external noises not ones inside your brain. Who's been drinking? I welcome crazy dreams as well.
