My doctor prescribed me opioids for my chronic pain, but I'm worried about becoming addicted to them. How can I increase my tolerance to opioids without overdosing?

It is possible to increase your tolerance to opioids without fear of overdosing by following your doctor's instructions carefully and taking slower, increasing doses over time. Your doctor may also be able to provide other options such as switching to a different kind of pain medication or reducing the number of opioids you are taking. Additionally, engaging in physical activity and getting adequate sleep can help decrease pain and reduce the amount of opioid needed.
