[quote=Anonymous]I'm currently going through withdrawal from hydrocodone, which I consider to be poison. I'm looking forward to getting my life back. I have a physical dependence, not addiction (and yes, there's a difference.)

I thought I would post some signs of pill use for those of you worried about kids or other loved ones. The signs are subtle and are not the same for everyone. But things to look for are:

Constipation
Falling asleep quickly at odd times
Excessive talking and ebullience 
Irritability

Diarrhea, chills, sneezing, watery eyes (these symptoms occur when you go without the pills for too long after becoming dependent on them. First sign is often excessive sneezing).

Purchasing anti-diarrhea medicine (there's one kind, Imodium, that addicts use to ease withdrawal because it actually is an opiate; it doesn't cross the blood brain barrier so is sold over the counter. Of course now, people are taking it in huge quantities to try to get high, and sometimes dying from it.)

Getting into medicine prescribed for your pets. Tramadol is an opiate-like drug that vets prescribe for pain, but it produces a high. Gabapentin is a drug that vets prescribe for nerve issues and it eases withdrawal symptoms. Of course these drugs are also prescribed for humans, but if your dog is taking them, keep them locked away.

Hope this helps someone.
