It depends on the person and the drug in question. Most side effects include drowsiness, urinary retention (my least favorite), dental problems (long term usage), constipation if you don't know how to take them properly, and mood swings. Mood swings, though, are a combination of the pain and the drugs themselves. Knowing what the side effects are and how they affect your health helps to deal with problems before they arise. For example, my family knows that the strong opiates I use affect my mood, and will give me space to be alone when needed. It's important for them to understand that as well, because if they didn't they might think I was angry because of something they did.
For the most part though, the biggest effect on health is to improve it - without the opiates I use my life would essentially be a living hell. With them I lead a fairly normal life and can do most things I used to do.
