FRIENDS - Matthew Perry & Painkillers
How come the weight loss was attributed to abusing painkillers, and that when he stopped using them, he blew up like a balloon?

Didn't you answer your own question?

but how come? I mean, painkillers shouldn't make you lose weight unless you stop eating - and so far as I know, painkillers do not make you want to stop eating.

Im pretty sure that your not eating much when abusing ANY drug...the last thing I wanted to do when high was sit down to a nice meal.

Most drugs do suppress appetite, though.

How about how The Sopranos changed the actress playing FBI Agent Deborah Ciccerone/Danielle from Fairuza Balk to Lola Glaudini between season 3 and 4? Or how about swapping the Darrens on Betwitched or the Becky's MULTIPLE times on Roseanne... which is more ridiculous?

I remember Camryn Manheim being huge then amazingly she shrunk when I saw her in Romy And Michelle's High School Reunion. I think she said she was using coke at the time and when she stopped, she gained back all the weight she had lost.
