Do painkillers make you skinny?

^Yeah because endogenous opioid peptides within the nucleus accumbens, play an important role in the control of appetite. In particular, it mediates the hedonic aspects of food intake which controls the positive emotional response to food such as fat and sugar.

I believe there was a study that has shown that intra-accumbens administration of mu-opioid agonists markedly increases food intake and preferentially enhances the intake of foods such as fat, sucrose, and salt.
 
It will make you skinny when you have to withdraw. I didn't eat anything for like 6 days during my withdrawal. Just imagine, all those shortages of vitamines and minerals... But when you do opiates, they increase the appetite. That's siginificant, I'd say. I went to my back weight when I went back to opiates. :)

i lost over 20 lbs while being addicted to opiates for a short period
 
Yeah. I'm 20 5'5 , 125lb. I go up and down from 120 to 125 lbs depending on how much drugs I do. I've never passed 125 in my life and would like to hit 130 somehow.

BTW, I've never had any kind of opiate withdrawl before. The worse that has happened to me was snorting too much tar (half gram) and throwing up all the next day with a splitting headache.

Painkillers almost ALWAYS contribute to my headache problem. No matter how many or how little I take. Not when on them of course, but the next 2-3 days I was have extreame headache. Even if I only take a few.

I guess that answers my question, thanks guys. Maybe I'm just too young to get very big right now. I've always been on the skinny side.

Yeah my heroin-junky friend use to always get fucked up and steal candy.
 
I say yes. I went from 215lb to 173 while my usage has been going on for over a year and a half.
 
Part of the equasion probably has to do with how you started out, directly proceeding your opiate run. for me, I loved wine a lot, but once starting on the opioids path, lost all desire. Honestly, opioids have been a net positive for me. All they require is just a little respect. Many people don't even give them that, but I find if you can manage to give them just a little consistient respect (ie, force yourself to occasionally have some mild WD, taper once a month at least), yada yada, then the opiates pay you back hansomly. It doesn't require a lot, but a little goes a long way. For me, I try to remember the fond memories of my best opiate highs, and have that memory sustain me. Plus I tell myself, if you respect it a bit, these types of highs can be yours again!

But using every day means you will no longer get the highs which made you love them in the 1st place. You need to respect opiates at least a little bit.
 
I actually gained alot of weight when i was on morphine and oxy. All i did was eat the stuff is worse then weed for the munchies. I went from about 170lbs to 200lbs. That was when i was using really heavy.
 
All I can say is that using nothing more then poppy tea I lost about 70 pounds over a year, I went from being very chubby to being disturbingly thin.

It was odd too just one day I realized holy fuck you look like you were rescued from Auswitz.
