While the signs and symptoms of addiction may vary depending on the substance in question, there are some general physical and behavioral red flags that addicts may exhibit:- They keep taking a prescription drug longer or more heavily than directed.
- They need more and more of a substance to feel the same effects, or they can take more than usual before they feel any effects (tolerance.)
- They feel strange or uncomfortable when they’re not using the drug. This may include withdrawals like shakiness, depression, stomach ache, sweating, or headache.
- They can’t stop using the drug, even if they want to.
- They keep using the substance even if it causes trouble in their relationships, at work, or at home.
- They spend a lot of their time thinking about the drug: how to get more of it, when they’ll take it, how good it’ll feel, and how bad they’ll feel after.
- They have a hard time limiting themselves. For example, they may say that they’ll only have two drinks at the party but end up having way more.
