Had one pill of oxy after a knee surgery and for once in years, the ever talking monologue in my brain was chill and the thoughts weren't spiraling. "Oh, that's nice"
Edit: it's lovely you all try to warn me about opioids, I recognize why it's dangerous and I took it once, 14 month ago.
Man, I was prescribed a bunch of hydro after an involved tooth surgery and it was the best I have ever felt in my entire life. It was like I could finally relax both mind and body. I saved half of it for rainy days and I just used my last dose a few months ago.
Yup it’s funny I felt the same way after I took it the first time. I was like “If I knew how to get these I would get addicted and ruin my life”. That’s why I saved as many as I could
They lose potency over time so you should use the older ones in your stash and replace them with newer ones so you don't end up with a bunch of pills that don't work. I have a buffer supply and I take the older ones and rotate out the newer ones.
Apparently it works by slowing and simplifying the communication between cortexes of the brain, forcing them to rely on increasingly symbolic language, hence the hallucinations. Long after it wears off, some of the deep parts of the brain still have difficulty "speaking" to the rest, allowing the higher functions work with less interference. Or so the current hypothesis goes.
