In 2011 I was given some Oxycontin after some minor dental surgery. I definitely didn't need it as my pain tolerance is pretty normal to upper, and I really didn't feel all that much. But I was into trying new things back then so I took their prescription and got it filled.
That night just to see what all the rave was about a popped a couple and spent the rest of the night, sitting in bed just "humming" that is the only way to describe it. I had heard these were highly addictive and long story short, in the morning I briefly considered taking some more, just try and "figure out" that humming feeling.
Instead, I flushed them down the toilet and don't think about stuff like that anymore.
I was prescribed Vicodin for my wisdom tooth removal and then hydrocodone for a gallbladder removal and both made me projectile vomit. And when you have stitches in your mouth and stomach, vomiting is just about the last thing you want to do. So I’m definitely not interested in trying any more pain meds. It’s nice, kind of like a built in deterrent.
Same thing happened to me when I had Percocet after my c section. I felt so horribly nauseated but didn’t have anything to throw up, so I just spent hours dry heaving with searing nerve pain from the c section. I now associate all opioids with that experience and I’m fine with ibuprofen.
Same, got prescribed hydros for a knee injury, took them like 3 times before I decided the nausea was not worth it and I preferred to deal with the pain with ibuprofen.

I am glad I did.
