Urination problems/ decreased urination is a side effect from opiate pain relievers.

I am on Suboxone (a maintenance drug for painkiller addiction) and I have the same problem, when I was abusing pain killers (percocets) I had the same problems as well. From doing some research online I found a lot of people commenting on this that it can be quite normal for this to happen while on opiates - I wouldn't be too concerned.

My husband mentioned when he took lortabs, he had issues urinating. Doctor said it is a side effect for a small percentage of people.
