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 typical direct result of taking extra - dose in the short - term for faster relief. Withdrawal symptoms occur when reducing or stopping use, not when increasing dose. Feeling more sensitive to pleasure is not a negative outcome related to taking more for pain relief.

Answer:

It can make her develop an opioid tolerance.
