Hi Eric,

Thanks for your response. It was a high dose for me as I don't use opiates. (I'm also only 105 lbs.) I've been pretty sick physically (sinus infection & bronchitis) the past 2 weeks, and I wasn't feeling well, so I just wanted a bit of a buzz. I don't drink, so I guess it's my version of having a glass of wine (in order to chill, not really "check-out").

I was actually looking to mellow out, but I forgot that opiates make me pretty speedy and energetic, so it felt kind of manic.

Not sure why I felt so guilty. I try to treat my body well, and typically am very careful about what I put in it. I felt like I did something "bad" and obsessed over it.

Why do you think my response was psychosomatic?

Thanks, Eric =).
