[BL] smiling and spurts of laughter while withdrawing? does this happen to you?

This includes my contribution to this interesting bluelight thread:

This happened to me once early on in Methadone withdrawal (day 2) after I got kicked out of one clinic and was waiting to be started in another one.

I was in the fetal position, writhing on the floor, maniacally laughing and thinking "And I did this to myself ? How absurd"

It makes sense as everything that happens in withdrawal actually stimulates the production of endorphins, laughter being one of them.
