Re: Opiates and Weight Gain

I was working on a low-cholesterol weight loss diet when I started taking opiates. I was having trouble sticking to it and making much progress with my weight until the opiates. They actually made me "feel better" and must have released the right chemicals in my brain (someone out there probably knows what happened in my brain) because I ate much less, was more active (felt less back pain) and wasn't hungry at all. I lost about 40 pounds in 3 months.

Unfortunately, prolonged use of opiates led to higher tolerance and more of the groggy, slow feeling days, which led to less activity, which led to some weight re-gain, which led to more back pain, which led to a higher dose of pain meds, which led to higher tolerance.....you see where I'm going...

BTW, I've been wondering why I crave sugar so much now and my Jan/Feb candy of choice is those little candy hearts (Brachs are better than classic Necco) which I've been gobbling up...well, like candy...lately. Perhaps I'm experiencing some of the same things you described Night Shade.
