Opioids

[Hbcap]

Suffered a pretty bad downhill mountain biking accident last week. Luckily I’m recovering well. I’ve been taking Vicodin for the pain and have noticed a positive effect on libido. I took a few days off and took another today. I noticed an effect a few hours later. I know the addictive nature of the drug so I would never use it as a stilt but has anyone noticed anything similar? Could this provide any insight?

It’s definitely doing something. Woke up with no libido. Decided to break a pill into thirds and took one. Within an hr there was a significant difference...

Yeah I was in the hospital for 6 days last winter and they pumped me full of Vicodin etc. and got a script. Definitely a fun few weeks but I noticed the effect wore off after every day use. It seemed to work better every 3-4 days for both pain and pfs type symptoms. Actually if you can will yourself to be disciplined with these they provide a nice mental break from the pfs fog etc. but I’d never recommend them to someone cuz way too easy to get addicted. I admit when my prescription ran out I wanted more lol.

I remember i got morphine after surgery, felt high as a kite and was constantly giggling and falling asleep. Kind of the same thing i guess haha can barely remember anything from those days in the hospital tho just shows how strong those drugs are
