“What are the possible side effects of addiction medicines?”
Can addiction medicines also have side effects? What are they and how can they be managed?
1 Answer
Every medication you take, whether aspirin, acetaminophen, or an addiction medication has potential side effects. Most people don't experience any side effects and those that do usually only have mild ones. Mild side effects are generally relatively easy to treat. For example, one of the side effects to an addiction medicine I prescribe is constipation. For that, the person just has to drink more water and increase the fiber they are taking. It can also give people insomnia. When that happens, they just take the medication in the morning instead of at night. Severe side effects are rare.
