It is possible to say that. But I would not call it the opposite. It is more a comparison, with the negative outweighing the positive.

Then the pure opposite would be:

Yes, that would be one opposite.
A lot of good vs a lot of harm.

But the other opposite is
A lot of good vs no good at all.

You can have an opposite of contrasting qualities. Or you can have an opposite of something vs nothing. Either way works.

To condense this conversation—there are two possibilities.

1. The opposite of "a lot of" is "a little" or "no (none)". That would be:

That massage did me no good.
In other words, the massage did not help me at all. This seems more
