A member asked:
Does anyone know the effect opiates have on someone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain control: Opiates are pain medicine that act on receptors in your brain. They're great for controlling pain, but have side effects including slowing breathing and can cause dependency as they give a feeling of euphoria. Opiates also commonly cause nausea and itchiness.
