A member asked:
Should i expect weight gain with stopping opiates?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on other lifestyle changes and calorie intake. No direct link, but if you stop opiates: did your pain go away and you can increase your physical activity. Did you have depression from chronic pain? Complicated assessment without knowing full story.
