Seeing orange

[Wallbe]

Why am I seeing the color orange when I first wake up in the morning? It doesn't last a long time but it lasts long enough I have started to wonder if something else is wrong with my health.

It this occurs only in the morning when you wake up and clears quickly say within a minute or two and that's the only thing you've notice its not likely a problem. There are many discussions here about people seeing colors or spots immediately upon awakening and going awake quickly. There was a great explanation posted recently and it has to do with the varous color receptos of the retina not being "equilibrated" after the eye lide is shut during sleep

I woke up to full on orange vision but I was coming off of fentanyl about 3 months of use. Now I'm clean and happy. Never turning back. Could that have been why? Withdrawal?

Oh and it was the 2 day i believe. 40+ hours of quitting with no help etc.

Drugs that are illegally used, or illegal, taken in unknown amounts of active ingredients can can a whole realm of problems.  They do not lend themselves to study.  Stay clean. Fentanyl kills relentlessly.  An amount equal to about 3 grains of salt can send you into the next world.
