Using reverse logic, did it make them bigger? I am of course just kidding with my "question", but you gave me a good laugh today when I needed one..

The pills always turn on us-I too, took opiates for post-surgical pain.  They are never good long term.  I awoke every day with terrible backache when I was on opiates.  My back hasn't ached once since detox(:  I am 19 days off of them and I feel better every day.  I am still in pain but it is NOTHING like the pain I was in on opiates.  They make your pain sensors fire more and it's hard to tell what you're really feeling.  They also affect the natural production of endorphins, epinephrine, norepinephrine in your brain...This is why you feel gripey.  The weight loss is common too because they curb your appetite and rob your body of vitamins and minerals.  My advice?  Stop taking them.  You'll have minimal withdrawal.  Get a good multi-vitamin, take lots of baths, potassium, magnesium-and eat some good carbs!  I've been carb loading as I look like a 12 year old boy and want my hour glass figure back!!!  Better yet-eat your turkey!  Protein and triptophan is a great combo....Merry Christmas to you and your family.....Lu

I know its a funny question.yes i meant while taking them..i have been on them about 8 months,was put on for a surgery...then another procedure,I now take betweem 1 and 1 1/2 pill a day for my toothache....but i seem gripey and i wake up every day with a bad lower back ache.....i have lost 7 pounds so maybe that is where my breasts went..Does it cause lower back pain after being on it for awhile? At first on them i swear i felt more up!

I can't blame my small size on anything but genetics ;) Believe me, being off of any meds is more important than that and I guess if I were younger I would care more. Right now I just want to stay off of this stuff but I am 45, not a young chick! Don't get me wrong, I want to look good but being on this stuff made me definitely feel older. Lol, hubby has noticed that I am not so tired any more! To me, that is way more important!

ummm.  I have to put my two cents in because my breasts HAVE shrunk (and yes Bamma I'm looking like a 12 year old boy) since I detoxed off the opiates...But I'm pretty sure it's just a weight loss thing.  LOL.  It probably won't happen to you because you're on a low dose and your w/d should be minimal.  And me?  Way less grumpy.  Happy but flat...Lu

I don't know about the other but I think she meant being grumpy from taking the pills.I was way more uncaring,unfeeling and just plain annoyed with everybody while I WAS taking the pills.When I quit my old caring self was the first thing to come back.

Bama that is too funny! I'm not making fun it was just funny especially your response! Lol. No your breast most deffinately will not shrink. But the grumpies will pass. Even while taking hydros I was grumpy on them. It does get better. Hang in there.

Ok. It definatly sp? Wont make your breast shrink. Thank you for the good long laugh. Im not laufhing at you. Its just funny. But dont worry you wont loose your size. Now thats funny. Please dont be mad at me. But that was the funnist thing ive heard in a long time. Roflmao. But seriously i will make you a little grumpy. Stopping any opiates do that. But your on such a low dose. I dont think youll have many problems with grumpy. I stopped 105 110 mgs of oxies. I was a real b. I was awful. I screamed at everyone. But its a mental thing too. Ya know. We get phsically and mentally dependant. Best of luck. I still like your post the best ever. Xo tanya
