They're highly addictive but in reality unless you overdose they are quite safe although they have some nasty side effects such as the worst constipation you've ever had and an evil withdrawal process (but only if you do them more or less constantly for a couple of weeks)!
The trouble with them is when you get them on the street they are often cut with undesirable substances and when you put those substances into your body, especially via injection then you are putting a load of unknown rubbish into your veins. Not very clever huh? You can wash them up to being clean drugs with a little bit of chemistry knowledge but I'm not going to instruct everyone how to do that. If you want to know bad enough you will find out.
EDIT: All these people going "oh no you will be hooked for life and end up giving blowjobs for a hit" are talking rubbish and have obviously never done opiates. I've done many of them personally including heroin and I have never felt the urge to give blowjobs just for a high. The very first time you feel you can't say no to them, say no to them. Leave them alone for a while. You won't get addicted if you do that. It only takes a little self control. Oh and don't inject them. That's just silly.
Personally I always found alcohol more addictive since it distorts reality more. Not everyone who drinks wine is an alcoholic opiates are just the same.
They are wonderful against pains. The danger is the addiction potential. More dangerous than cannabis.
They're very addictive. If you stop taking them after your body becomes dependent of them, which doesn't take long, your whole body will start to go into a withdrawal. This encluding puking, cold sweats, shaking, horrible pain all over, etc.
you will be stuck on them for life if you use em more than one or two times...
many street drugs a spiked with these to make sure people get hooked.
take them and you will be on the corner sucking strangers for your next dose
plain and simple
opiates are great but the easiest to become addicted to. only dangerous in very high doses with the exception of heroin. can also cause severe withdrawl. but safer due to the fact they are produced by a manufacture instead of some guy in a trailor or abandoned house.
Hello,
You do not seam to have much experience with these from your doctor it sound like.
For me oxycodone, hydrocodone,
Throwing up, seizures,stomach aches, stomach bleeding,sleeping, feeling drugged all day not being able to function, cant eat when you are throwing up . People feel different side effects.
Then when you do have these from the doctor you darn near need to be excorded by a big man to be able to safely leave the pharmacy (and home where they are locked up under key and lock) for all the junkies ready to mug you to steal them from you.
Or you have so called friends who steal them from you and leaves you without your pain meds.
So not only are they bad on the health, they are also bad to even have a prescription from the doctor for safety reasons.
If you do not have to have them, don't!
Opiates are Sched I, II, III substances...
mostly III, they are useful during pain...
many people abuse them, some have a physical dependence through building up tolerance and have to take more.
Sched IV controlled Substances such as Valium, Klonopin, &c. Are actually to be proven worse to come off of.
All the above you have named are sold on the street, I live in NYC and I see it all the time...
They are sold on the street with other names... &c.
How are they bad? This varies, using all Substances have a fall out, some are very fatal!
Others may need or Think they need Controlled Substances to suppress pain or whatever they are going through.
People build tolerance up to Oxycodone and Hydrocodone, the medication has to be increased and this is usually more likely with Tranquilizers such as Xanax and Valium... &c.
For me, yes, opiates are definitely bad. With the very first percocet, I was hooked. I quickly became addicted to prescription opiates. Shortly thereafter, I was introduced to street drugs (heroin, morphine, fentanyl) and learned how to inject them. I've overdosed countless times and probably should be dead right now. Discovering opiates has been the worst thing to ever happen in my life and now 17 years later, I can finally celebrate 8 months clean. What a learning experience.
