    Medicine question???

    I was curious if anyone knew if pain pills like Loratab could or would cause a stall in weight loss? I know the book says medicines like steroids, birth control, and other hormone pills would cause stalls, but anyone know if pain medication does?

    Thanks,

    I know the side effect of most pain medications is constipation. That in turn could stall your weight loss.

      I havent had that problem yet. Would constipation be the only thing that would be related to pain pills and cause you to stall?

        It copuld possibly be the lactose in the hydrocodone tablets, not alot in each tablet but if you take multiple tablets per day it could add up.

          I googled for side effects and found no mention of weight gain but many other nasty possibilities from overuse

          you might want to see your doctor and ask what he/she thinks.
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
