My main finding after a colonoscopy - opiates are freaking scary
I had to do a colonoscopy a few days ago. I don’t do any drugs or drink alcohol. Right before the procedure, they injected something in me and honestly I never felt better in my life. I’ve had a 3 feet long tube up in my ass and I’d didn’t cause me any pain or discomfort. I was kind of daydreaming and nothing could ruin my good mood.
After they finished and I changed, I talked to the doctor (found out I’m perfectly healthy, too), he told me not to drive for 24 hours because I’m on hard drugs. I asked him what did they give me and he replied “fentanyl”. When I saw my wife after I left the room, it was just pure euphoria. I am usually very happy to see her but now that I think of it, what I felt then was really unnatural. I felt really, really good for the next couple of hours, too.
Holy shit, I now totally get why people get so addicted to that.
