Understanding Prescription Drug Addiction

The signs of prescription drug abuse vary according to the medication, the frequency of abuse, and the length of addiction.

Warning signs include:

• Increased Tolerance: The need for progressively higher doses of a prescription medication to achieve the same results.
• Withdrawal Symptoms: Cravings, insomnia, headaches, nausea, and feelings of restlessness and agitation.
• Increased Dosage or Frequency: Taking larger doses than prescribed, or taking them more frequently than advised.
• Doctor Shopping: Making multiple appointments with different physicians to obtain a controlled prescription drug.
• Mood Swings: Substance abuse can affect the brain’s reward center and cause major and sudden alterations in a person’s mood.
• Neglect of Responsibilities: Prolonged addiction can affect an individual’s judgment and ability to prioritize responsibilities.

Prescription drug abuse can also cause persistent negative thought patterns and impair decision-making abilities.
