Can opioids cause wave?

[[Be...]]

I've only taken one 5/325 Percocet, over two nights (1/2 pill each night).  And now I'm restless, tinnitus, nasty headache, back and joint pain, muscle pain, bladder spasms are worse.

When I was in acute the sunshine would bring on a wave so I'm sure it's possible for percocet to screw something up

 

It will probably be short-lived tho. Benzo withdrawal could make you hypersensitive to opiates

Yes, I was given hydrocodone for some dental work, I was actually on opiates and Xanax before quitting. It did not help my pain and it made me feel terrible. It def made me feel hyped up and uncomfortable. I would not have even taken but I really needed it the surgery was very painful. I noticed I was very much effected by it in the bad way. I hope I don't need it anymore.

I took Vicodin a few weeks ago and it made me feel terrible. I was nervous for hours. I think benzo withdrawal makes us sensitive to their effects.

[[Ma...]]

yes it can.

Absolutely, same mechanism as a benzo on the GABA, don't take if possible, it will confuse the healing process

I would think so, I'm on Subutex (a partial Opioid agonist) for my Codeine addiction and I am pretty sure that it's certainly NOT doing my Benzo WD sxs any good. I don't know if I'm right but I think it's making my dizziness worse, my buzzing/vibrating seems to amp up after I take it too. I often wonder if because I take it in the morning (otherwise it only further messes with me at night), that it's actually contributing some to my horrible morning sxs.

 

Unless it's 100% needed, I would try to avoid any medication like this during Benzo WD as it certainly messes with your CNS.

This is the first I hear of it affecting GABA.  Can you provide a source for this statement please?

 

That aside, like others have said, I've found I've now become very, very sensitive to all other meds.  The benzos certainly do quite a number on our nervous systems.

Thinking back... this may well b why i became so unstable and sick towards the end of my oxycontin taper... from over 400mg/d oxy to 100 mg/d, before a rapid hospital detox... and i wasnt taking much valium at that point... I was so up n down, and think valium increased the opiate effects ten fold for several hours at a time... i started to feel "high" for the first time ever, then would just crash... but its hard to remember, that part of my recovery was/is just a haze... im thinking that what can work in one direction, isnt so great in the other direction... as always, more medical studies need to be done in controlled environs... imho
