Does long term opiod addiction cause weight gain? ive heard it slows down metabolism
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Opioid addiction: Some lose weight as they stop eating and spend all their time trying to get opioid. And can't spell opioid. If you don't exercise because of pain or just laying around all the time and eating that will cause weight gain. Recommend you get app myfitnesspal and track everything you eat and drink and do and then you can see if you need to decrease calories and or increase intake.
