Does hydrocodone use up all available dopamine and or serotonin? How does it work? It seems that if I take it, the AD effects of my meds are negated for several days, some times more than others. The effect I get from hydrocodone is similar to what I've heard people describe from amphetamines or cocaine but I can't find any literature that explains the mechanism of action that causes this euphoria/spike in motivation/total erasure of anhedonia. Or why for a few days after there is the opposite effect - depression, tiredness and amotivation.

Why are you using the pain-killer?

Well, technically, because I have a couple of herniated disks in my neck and some bone spurs and facet joint instability and nerve root impingement. All of which is very real and sometimes painful. However, when I get the pain pills, I have a lot of fun with them. (It's the only times in the last few years I've felt any real motivation or enjoyment of anything - hence the switch away from Effexor.)
