When you take opioids, you might experience some side effects, such as:
- Sleepiness
- Constipation
- Nausea
In comparison to its beneficial effects, this drug also carries risks and can be highly addictive.
It happens if you use the drug wrongly. Especially, when it is taken more than prescribed.
Over time, you will develop tolerance to the usual dose.
Consequently, you will need an even higher dose to relieve the pain.
This in turn can turn to addiction. To simplify, the drug can make your brain and body believe that it must be taken and necessary for survival.
