Opioids Opiates and weight gain?

My weight doesn't really change, a very slow upward drift. When my ex and I were hooked on various dopes together, whenever we could stay high we'd eat a lot of food, good-for-us and nasty foods alike, she would gain weight. I've seen pictures of her before we dated when she was doing even more, and she was bigger than I'd ever seen her in person. When we ran out of money/connects and were withdrawing, however, she'd drop weight like a rock. She even admitting to liking that part of detoxing once.
 
Hey socal people, let's all visit the needle exchange in Hollywood and grab a burger!

See you there Sunday!

:-)

Maybe a Bluelight special? Oh wait that's blue PLATE...

Isn't the Blue Light special the thing they used to announce at Kmart? "Attention Kmart shoppers there is a Blue Light special on aisle 7"...... am I wrong?
 
At every methadone clinic I've ever been to they've always had some kind of program (though its usually bullshit) targeting malnutrition in opiate addicts. A few studies have shown that people addicted to heroin and methadone both tend to have more cravings for sweets than non-addicts.
It really is interesting to see if one chemical influences craving of another or if opiate addicts in general are just more inclined to sacrifice long-term health for short-term pleasure.

Okay, another question for all other OC users. After you've tooted a fat line (lets say 80mg) of OC...do you have to take a big crap after wards? If you answered YES, aren't those craps sometimes awesome? lol, for cereal tho....
 
I think it was a blue light special, you're right! At (Special) K-Mart.

Seriously though, if any socal readers are peeping this, I really am going to the Hollywood needle exchange on Sunday to "freshen up" my supplies. Santa Monica and sycamore. PM me for details, maybe we can get a group discount.

Yes, the supplies are free, but it's still fun to haggle and see them get all confused.

Only a junkie would haggle over the price of something that's free!
 
on my recent opiate BENDER i've lost quite a bit of weight...i have little to no appetite (hooray!) which is good seeing as to how i'm broke (unrelated to the opiate bender...sort of)

i never am hungry when i'm nodding...all i want to do is snuggle with my kitten or call up people and tell them how much i love them. then, when i'm dope sick all i want to do is puke...so why would i want to eat.

one thing that i've noticed is that opiates tend to make me feel like my metabolism is slower...
