What's the effects of chronic narcotic use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic daily use: Can lead to developng a tolerance to the medication, which then requires higher doses of the med to have tge same affects it had when you started. Also, you become physically dependent on it meaning you will go into withdrawel if you suddenly stop. Depression can result from chronic use as well.
