vicadin and Metabolism

[Endure]

Three weeks ago I was injured severly. Up to my injury I was extremely fit and around 7% BF at 145 (I'm 5' 8"). Since my injury I have not had any form of weight or cardio work. I've done my best to lower my caloric intake while simultaneously decreasing carb and increasing protein. However, I've gained a considerable amount of fat and around 2 pounds. I realize the obvious reasons for this but the amount and how quickly I've put the fat on has me scratching my head.

The one other factor that has changed since my injury was a steady intake of vicadin to deal with the pain. Besides totally screwing my digestive system up, I'm wondering if this could have really slowed my metabolism?

Any thoughts or comments on this subject? I'd really like to hear what you guys think on this?
Thanks
Endure

I did the same thing but lost weight due to the fact that I didn't eat hardly anything while I was injured. I just layed on the couch in a vicodine stupor for a week and a half before I weened off of it. It acts as a depressant so it will slow your metabolism just like alcohol does. but now that your off of it best of luck getting back to where you want to be. injuries suck but that which does not kill us makes us stronger.
