> Define "opioid sensitivity"Sorry, I didn't think it needed a definition. I meant normal analgesic and euphoric response to opioids.
For example I've had two surgeries after each of which I was prescribed vicodin. After the first surgery I took vicodin 7.5s qid at least. Within a few days, the euphoric effect disappeared. Months later I had the second surgery and afterwards found that the vicodin not only provided adequate analgesia but the same euphoric effect as when I had first taken it. By the the time of my second surgery I had regained "opioid sensitivity". That's what I meant.
Cheers,
Britt
