Does anybody know why people that abuse pp's say that while they were taking them they had more energy? I'm an addict and I know anytime I'd get stressed or had to do a chore like cook or clean I'd pop one and told myself it gave me tons of energy.
And others who are not addicted say when they take them they knock them out and make them to loopy to function.
Any ideas?
Because our brain chemistry is different and that's what separates the addicts from the normies?
Because anxiety is draining and opiates alleviate anxiety? (At least they did mine.)
Just a couple of ideas.

What Gina said.
In an addicts brain, pp relieve depression but when we quit taking them, the depression and anxiety is ten times worse. I felt like superwoman when I used and it took about 8 months for me to get my energy back once I got clean. Takes a long time to undo all the damage we have done to our systems.

Beebah,
How's it goin' kiddo? Here's what professionals have told me. When you have legitimate pain, the medicine goes to the part of the brain that sends out pain signals and is used up to eliminate the pain. When the body does not have an adequate amount of pain to actually use the medication, it goes to other parts of the brain. In our case, it goes to those "receptors" that you hear so much about. Before I actually became addicted to pain pills, I'd taken them in years past with no problem. I could never figure out why anyone would take "downers" to get high until I got hooked on them. In my case, I'd already recovered from alcoholism and I think, when I took the pain pill, my body, my addictive body "remembered" the altered state that took place when I drank and LIKED IT. That's all I can figure out. Anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! I really do hope you're doing well!
