(please do not reply if you are trying to quit and feel like speaking on how it felt is triggering.)
hello fellers, i hope you’re all doing well and for those of you managing addictions, i hope you can overcome it.
i’m not an opioid user, i actually stay away from drugs in general (besides caffeine haha). but i am very much interested in the science of these drugs, how they’re made, what they do, their dangers, potency, history.
one of my best interests is opioids, as they have.. a “rich” history, and are the most [immediately] dangerous thing i assume you could take recreationally. i’m mostly speaking about fentanyl and heroin. i also didn’t grow up or live in america or any other place that has an opioid problem, it’s actually hard to find even alcohol where i live. you never see any drunk person on the street, let alone a drug user. so i do like learning about it like history.
my question is, what does it feel like? especially H. now, i obviously know there is intense euphoria, sedation, physical and cognitive/emotional relief. but these words don’t cut it. i figured i’d like to hear it from someone who used. what does using feel like really?
and another question, what does *quitting* feel like? the clinical terms used for the suffering from it also don’t cut it. how horrible is it? what does it feel like? pour your heart out. in my past, i’ve gone through a xanax rebound (as someone who used it medically) and that alone was horrible. it’s part of the reason i stay away from substances now. except coffee. i need my coffee.
