> What opiates are we talking about here? A friend gave me a few methadone pills and I think my evening anxiety and depression is somewhat alleviated by it. I don't know the strength. Does this make sense? I don't feel dulled by it, rather the opposite. Perhaps I'm imagining it

Makes total sense. When we refer to opiates and opiods, we are reffering to any drug that is a mu-opiod receptor agonist. These include morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, methadone, propoxyphene, fentanyl, etc.
As for not being dulled... yes, that makes lots of sense too. For me, opiods provide a mix of sedation and stimulation. High doses tend to be the most sedating, lower doses the most stimulating.
