Answer by tylerhasfeet
symptoms of prescription drug abuse vary depending on the drug and the method of abuse. a few signs to look for are
increased irritability or mood swings
frequent complaints of physical ailments such as headaches or nausea
anxiety, agitation, or paranoia
secretiveness; making excuses to suddenly leave the room or be alone
marked changes in appetite and sleep habits
someone who is snorting prescription drugs might be especially secretive or paranoid: making excuses to be alone, getting defensive about where he is going, constantly checking the mirror or touching his nose and sniffing.
obviously, if you look for these symptoms hard enough, you’ll see an addict in every other person on the street, so don’t jump to conclusions; use your best judgement. nobody likes to be accused of drug abuse: an innocent person will resent you for the implication, and a guilty person hates being confronted with the truth, so tread cautiously.
