Answers:
Can you take a weekend trip and leave them at home? If you can't you are
Well,are you taking more than prescribed? Do you take the prescribed medication when you first wake up? Do you take the prescribed medication throughout the day,during the day time hours,and several hours apart? What do you do when your prescription start running low? How many do you actually take in a 24 hour period?
If any/all of your answers do not match up to what your prescription calls for? Then you have a serious problem/addiction.You can simply use your common sense to answer this question.
Take care.
1. Are you taking more than you're supposed to be?
2. Do you feel your original prescribed dose has no effect on you?
3. Do you experience withdrawals or cravings?
4. Do you think about it often?
5. Do you take them first thing in the morning?
If yes to most of these, then you are addicted to whatever you're taking, at least psychologically.
uhh you cant stop thinking about them, you eat it more than you are supposed too, you dream about it. hope that helps!!
