Moments of Euphoria

I have been having this weird "moments" for want of a better way to describe it...I am wondering if anyone else has or is experiencing this.  I found that for the last several years of usage (maybe longer, but I can't really remember back that far) that I never got a "buzz" from taking pills.  I took them to feel "normal" and that was pretty much it.  However, I would get a brief, and I mean REALLY brief, feeling of euphoria occasionally...like so fleeting it would literally last seconds and that was it.  Just for a second I would feel overcome with "love" or "excitement" or some other good feeling.  And then it was gone...not that I crashed or got depressed...just the moment would pass and I'd feel "normal" again.

I have found, over the last few days, that I'm getting these weird moments and I'm NOT taking pills, and haven't been for a while.  What's up with this?  Has anyone else experienced this or am I crazy?

Awesome...so it's not some brain malfunction...like the onset of schizophrenia or anything!  LOL

Yes...it would be nice to feel euphoric all the time, I guess.  I don't know, though...that could be a little strange.

Oh, thank goodness I'm not the only one!  

I haven't seen you here in a while, but then, again, I haven't been on as much as normal for the last few weeks.  I'm glad you're finally getting back to feeling "normal"...

Congratulations on your clean time!  That's wonderful!!!

Yes, i get the moments of euphoria sometimes, esp with music and exercise, but also when my gut gurgles (must be so liberting for our intestines to not have the opiate slowing the motility)--I'm so glad to hear you're doing well, it does get easier, though for me it's been since may and I'm really just starting to feel 'normal'.
