Narcotic use for energy

The side effect mentioned on hydrocodone is sleepiness/drowsiness...yet almost every addict i have seen post got the oppsite effect of energy from the narcotics they took be it oxys or hydros....the majority of the population gets drowsy....so there is something i think that affects our brains differently that makes us prone to abuse them....if I fell asleep after using, i am sure i would not have abused them...is there anyone who took them/abused them for sedation?   How about how many abused them for the energy and good feeling they gave you?  just wondering

Hi Worried...there were times I had boundless engery and other times when I would literally fall asleep or want too.  Most of the time was energy; I would wake at 330AM and start major home renovations on our home or one of our rentals and I would work well into the evening.  No pain at all and just some food and fluids to keep you going. Same at work on big projects.  Now..I have to plan it allllll out :-)  but that's cool...living a better life now.
