Pain medication and decrease weight loss

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.

    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. :rolleyes:
