Pain medication and decrease weight loss

[Lots Of Hope 4]

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.

Thanks! Once it got worse, I really only cared about getting rid of the pain! Thanks for the info
