FEELING DROWSY WITHOUT PAIN MEDS

sometimes out of the blue i feel woozy as if I've taken pain meds........but it has been days since I've taken anything for my pain....I wonder if this is the effect of taking strong medication....does this happen to anyone?

I experience the same thing as well. I would feel high and out of it and haven't taken any medications. I thought I was the only one who experienced this sort of thing. I would love to know what causes it to happen though.

i have heard that we all have a certain amount of Morphine that our bodies produce and it slowly releases sort of like a capsule. that's just what i've heard....my personal thoughts are the meds that we take stays in our system and work slowly throughout the body so even if it's been days since we've taken them they are still present in the body and every now and then we can feel the effects of them
