Lots Of Hope 4 Posted June 1, 2011 Hi all, I remember Lindora told me once that pain medication, with or without narcotics can decrease weight loss. Has anybody seen this happen ? I am thinking possibly Water retention, and maybe a temporary decrease in metabolism. I am starting to get a Migraine and don't want to ruin my weight loss.

ybnormal 21 Posted June 2, 2011 Agreed. I'm on narcotic pain medication long term and I'm losing weight. A lot of people have to take narcotic pain meds for a variety of medical reasons so don't worry. Get rid of the migraine...those suck! Added incentive: Migraines always make me vomit and that could lead to dehydration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
