So at the beginning of summer, I got my wisdom teeth out. I had all four taken out while I was only numbed. That was terrifying to be able to feel as the dentist drilled your tooth in half and hearing the crack as he breaks the tooth out of your mandible. Also, it took a huge chunk out of my savings. But to help with the swelling and pain, the dentist prescribed me about two weeks worth of oxycodone. I only used about 3 days worth and had extra oxy...
Fast forward a few months, I tried to cram 80 hrs of work in 6 days. This was because my job pays in a bi-weekly fashion and each week you can work up to 40 hours. However, I had plans and couldn't work the following week. Being the money hoe that I am, I had to cram all my hours in the days I was going to be at home. Well, I was essentially working 12 - 16 hour shifts from 8 pm at night to 12 pm at noon. Generally, around 8 am I take my anti-depressants which is in the typical prescription bottle. This week was like the rest-- but at hour 12/13 of these shifts I would start feeling this euphoric feeling... Which I thought was my body getting so tired that I was starting to get loopy. (They also say that if you stay awake for more than 16 hours straight, your brain starts working like it's under the influence of alcohol. I thought I was going through this) It was not until I finished the last of my prescription bottle when I realized I was taking my leftover oxycodone instead of my antidepressants.
Thus, for the last week, the 'euphoria' that I was feeling was not from being tired but from the oxycodone. I was getting high at the end of my shift everyday for the last week.
