My Doctor said this amount shouldn’t cause any adverse side affects in A opiate Naive patient. Which I have no clue what that meens. What does naive meen? I just said OK, when I should have asked him. LOL. I was thinking Naive meens, someone who can handle opiates or something. I dont even know. Someone help me please. I think he put me on this dose and medication because my pain is stoping me from doing everything.
