What are symptoms of Vicodin addiction?

Answer 1

i have been in recovery for 2 years. there are so many, shaking hands, weight loss, but facial puffiness, irritability, avoiding others, sleeping all the time or up all the time, a few make you sleep, alot make you up. doctor shopping, "new"friends" appearance not kept up. PHYSICAL addiction is indicated by the following symptoms (after abruptly stopping the vicodin): abdominal pain, agitation, diarrhea, dilated pupils, goose bumps, nausea, runny nose, sweating, vomiting. You may easily notice a person with vicodin addiction when a person is seen to have symptoms of craving for more vicodin, can hardly get to sleep, and irritable. You may also notice that a vicodin addict, loves to seek more doctor prescriptions so he/she could buy more vicodin. www.soberpacificliving.com

Answer 2

The same as Heroin withdrawals as Vicodin (hydrocodone) is an opiate. The molecules are nearly identical. It depends on how long you have been using. And It is probably wise to got to an inpatient program to do it right.

Answer 3

If you start getting sick after not having any for 6+ hours, then you're addicted. Symptoms of mild to moderate opiate withdrawal will probably include nausea, headache, alternating hot flashes and chills, and a general feeling of ickiness. It's kind of hard to describe. You just feel SICK.

There's also this weird -- and extremely uncomfortable -- combination of restlessness and lethargy. You'll feel so horribly exhausted, you have to lie down. Not 5 minutes later, you're tossing and turning, and you have to get up and pace around the room. Not 5 minutes after that, you feel exhausted again and have to lie down. Then you're restless again and have to get up and pace. This goes on and on ad infinitum. It's enough to drive you insane.

The full-blown flu-like symptoms you see junkies experience in the movies probably won't happen. You don't get those severe withdrawal symptoms unless you are injecting hard-core opiates like heroin or morphine.
