Any Way To Spot Opioid Addiction?

[Cock Throppled]

Is there any way to tell if someone is addicted to opioids? Recently, a friend confided she was addicted for over two years, and nobody around her knew. She has taken a leave to go for treatment, but that was the first clue anyone had about her addiction.

She looked and acted the same as always, never missed work, was lively, curious and social. She said she quit because her addiction was getting worse and her doctor wouldn't prescribe enough and she was getting it on the black market and was afraid of fentanyl.

According to that site - visible signs include normal behaviour and appearance. Unless a user is so far gone they're nodding off, it's unlikely co-workers or friends are going to notice constipation or constricted pupils, and being happy or sad are normal reactions all day long. What's a definition of confusion?

I can see why people can hide it so easily if useage isn't really heavy.

Fentanyl is *everywhere* now....There were fears kids Halloween candy might be laced with it.

I was on oxy for a while last year. I was REALLY messed up, I couldn't focus my mind and felt confused all the time. It was hard to get off it too.

Example: I wanted to take a visiting friend to the beach. I know the way well and go plenty of times This time I missed the regular turn off twice. Kept thinking I had missed the place but was miles short of it. Coming back I missed the turn off the highway and back to my part of town. Then because I missed the turn I could not figure out how to get back to the turn. And these are all roads I knew well.

My poor friend! She was really worried I had lost my mind. The drug makes you paranoid too so I was super self conscious and defensive, which led to a vicious circle of confusion, embarrassment, defensiveness, oh god yeah I guess I did kind of lose my mind.

It was originally for terminal cancer patients and should never have become so popular. Maybe it affected me more because I am clean and sober, very rarely use any painkillers. The only good thing about it was it made me clean up my diet and start keto.

there is nothing that can be done no matter how much money the government wants to throw at the situation. people are going to take their drugs and most likely end up dead. being on that side of the business i can tell you the place where these people are taken is consistently full and it's people in their 30's and 40's, and not all from the east side.

Absolutely.

From British Properties to Shaughnessy to everywhere in between; there are an abundance of addicts sniffing, shooting, swallowing and smoking (crack and heroin). I'm constantly disturbed to learn of yet another one who slipped and OD'd. Numbers are staggering compared to 30 years ago with the cocaine and heroin epidemics.

If interested, this site seems to have a good unbiased view of most drugs consumed these days.

Cash flow problems are a sign.
Narcotics are expensive.
If someone is making good money but constantly broke, maybe something is going on.

My friend said her doctor told her he wouldn't prescribe any higher doses, and would try to lower her current levels.

She panicked, but instead of following his advice, she started asking around to try to get another supply, which of course were street drugs and all the danger that entails.

Luckily, she was frightened enough realize this was a bad decision, and asked for help, and had the means to get it.
