Weight loss when quitting Norco.

I have been told that taking pain pills make you gain weight, in particular, belly fat. Has anyone else heard this? My question is, how has quitting affected everyone's weight? BTW, I am now 5 days clean!!!

Taking pain pills slows down your digestive system.  I always get constipated and bloated when abusing them.   When I come off them, I lose weight because of the runs and not being able to keep food in me for a few days.  It goes straight through me.   Not sure if weight loss comes back after being off them for a while.  I'm not there yet.
