1) The wounded soldier was in great pain after the morphine wore off.
2) I guess the effect of the anaesthetic is going to wear off.
3) When I met John I fell for him immediately, but now it's been wearing off.
What's the opposite verb of "wear off" in these sentences where the verb means something like "to dimish"? Is there a particular phrasal verb to use or can the verb "to grow" be correct?
