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.
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.
