Question

tomie takes prescribed opioids for her back pain. she wonders if she should take more drug than shes prescribed to get faster pain relief. why is this a bad idea? it can make her feel more pain. it can make her develop an opioid tolerance. it can make her experience withdrawal symptoms. it can make her feel more sensitive to feelings of pleasure.

Explanation:

Taking more opioids than prescribed can lead to the body adapting and requiring higher doses over time to achieve the same effect, which is opioid tolerance. This is a negative consequence. Feeling more pain isn't a direct result of taking extra opioids in the short - term for faster relief. Withdrawal symptoms occur when reducing or stopping opioids, not when increasing the dose. Feeling more sensitive to pleasure isn't a bad outcome related to taking more for pain relief in the context of why it's a bad idea.

Answer:

It can make her develop an opioid tolerance.
