Is a side effect of opiates falling in love? I know this sounds dumb, but i'm serious. have you ever experienced falling in love while doing opiates with someone? do you think it's the high???? what are ur thoughts
Hey stacy you ever watch drugstore cowboy where after he shoots up in the car he describes in detail how great the feeling is. You feel more outgoing and enjoy the little things more but as it was written in drugstore cowboy "and as long as it lasted life was beautiful". I would use my best judgement and hey if you dig that person why not give it a chance. Atleast if you break up you have something for the pain. lol
haha well that's the thing it happened years ago. and i did go for it and it sucked, and still hurts. i don't even understand why i still feel this magnetic draw to him, except for the fact that we did oxys togther and maybe that created some kind of false love bond. i know that they say that getting high off opiates produces the same type chemicals that are produced when falling in love. so that chemical reaction gets confusing sometimes...
look u OBVIOUSLY know if u like the dude or not...just stop trying to justify ur human instinct of being drawn towards oxycontin again after using it once before...its a powerful, addictive drug, were u addicted when u used?
i'm confused. how am i justifing being drawn towards oxy's? I didn't say anything about using them again or not. I've been reading online about studies that show that opiates produce the same chemicals that are produced when one feels they are "falling in love". I think that if one does a drug that produce these chemicals with another person, then a bond can be created with that person that would not necessarily have been created without the drug (or chemical response). i'm not asking for advice on whether i "like someone" or not. i was using that as an example. i was just wondering about thoughts on the above statement..
Stacy - You are totally correct. The chemicals released in your brain when using opiates are very similar to those released when you "fall in love" so to speak. The problem is that "falling in love" is not a very clinical term, whereas the specific neurotransmitters produced by opiates attaching to the opiate receptor in the brain is a very studied and yes, very clinical thing. But your brain can be, as you put it, tricked. For example, it is proven that "falling in love" and "fear" as emotional states, produce the same chemicals in the human brain. In which case, taking a date to a horror flick can be a great idea: your date looks at the screen, feels fear, then looks at you...his/her brain is full of "falling in love" chemicals now, so looking at you with that in mind...Well, you see what I mean. So, it only makes sense that the same sort of "trick" can be effected by means of opiate use with another person. In fact, my closest friend is, and will probably always be, the person who first handed me a percocett. Using opiates with another person creates an interesting bond, which, in my opinion, can only be broken by either a complete rejection of the drug, or a severe psychological addiction. Hope that answers your ACTUAL question -V
Haha, yeah, thats true. Once you've fallen in love just ONCE, the world never seems the same again...especially once that love is lost. Then again, once you've become addicted opiates, the world never seems the same. -V
I love love, and I love opiates, so this theory sticks! Seriously, when I take opiates, I feel the warm, happy feelings of love for everything--for all forms of life and for life itself. Problems magically fade away, talkativeness sets in, and my heart fills with love for myself and my life. Lovely.
Im already in love with opiates :tongue: I can connect in a better way with people that do opiates too. Whenever I've been involved with a person who doesnt do them/like them I end up feeling like they are judging me or that they are a better person than I am. Then I feel guilty about doing something I like or like Im hurting them, so that usually doesnt work out. On the other hand if I can get high with whoever Im with, I feel a greater bond, we are in the same level and we share everything. It's beautiful
