Britt / anyone -

I forgot to mention one of my reactions to a certain opiate: Morphine. About a year ago I had surgery and afterwards they gave me a couple shots of morphine to ease the pain. Well, it was the worst I had ever felt in my life - menatlly and physically. I felt so dysphoric I was almost amazed. It wasn't even helping the pain. The doctor then ordered Tylenol #3 - no pain relief at all. Finally the doctor ordered something else and I think it was Vicodin. Well, as soon as they shot it through my IV I was fine- no pain and felt pretty good (although I just had surgery). Also, about a 2 years prior to that I was given a small dose of morphine at the ER and it was as if I had taken a sugar pill.

I've always had such good antidepressant responses to synthetic opiates - like hydrocodone, etc. I guess I respond better to those? Or perhaps the morphine dysphoria was due to the combination of anesthetic/waking up, etc?

Wierd.
