What Are Some Warning Signs That Someone May Be Getting Addicted to Pain Meds?
Question by ?bigmamma?: What are some warning signs that someone may be getting addicted to pain meds?
My husband had some bad neck pain & someone he knows gave him some pain pills & he is always wanting more! Right now he has the flu (we think) & he just went to get some. I would say he gets about 20 pills a month, so it’s not much, but am I still right to worry?
I don’t know what kind of pills they are for sure, but I want to say Darvocet?
Yes, he has mentioned that he likes how it feels, but I have not seen any withdrawl symptoms & he’s fine when he doesn’t have them.

Why on earth would he take someone else’s pain pills? If they are not prescribed to him by his own doctor he should NOT be taking them.
And in my opinion, yes… it sounds like there may be a problem. Get him to see his own doctor.

Addicted. Who needs pain pills for the flu? He’s just liking how it feels.
