Question 1

Question 2

is it possible to become addicted to smoking grass?

Accepted Answer

Sure: The addiction to marijuana (mj) may be largely psychological, but it can be very impairing. Mj dependence in adolescence is associated with diminished motivation, increased school drop out rates, criminal activity, use of other drugs, and possibly mental disorders (mds). However, it is not clear if people with vulnerabilities to mds are attracted to mj or whether mj increases the risk of mds.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Yes absolutely: Yes, absolutely, it is highly addictive.  Do not ever think about trying it and if you do use it- please stop it.

Question 4

is it possible to become addicted to solpadol 30/500 after just a week of taking them?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Some people are genetically susceptible to opiate addiction.  If one has been addicted to another substance this adds to the risk.   While  it would not be typical after just a week i think it could happen.   The fact you are asking suggests to me you want to stop asap so that permanent brain changes don't occur.

Question 5

can it be possible for you to become addicted to orajel?

Accepted Answer

Orajel: The ingredients in orajel are not addictive. That is not to say that an individual may become dependent on using it unnecessarily. It is intended for short term use. If you or anyone else has a continuing dental problem, it should be evaluated and treated by a dentist. Orajel merely numbs the area, it does not remove the cause of the discomfort.

Question 6

is it possible for one to become addicted to sedating medications? products with ingredients such as diphenydramine, doxylamine, chlorphenirmine, etc?

No : Antihistamines are not addictive. They should be taken regularly  for best results. Non sedating antihistamines have less side effects.

Question 7

how can i tell if i am addicted?

Accepted Answer

Definition: Addicts would lie, steal, cheat or even kill to get your drug.  Dependency means that a medication you are taking for a legitimate reason if you were to stop it cold turkey would result in withdrawal symptoms.  If you don't fit the definition above for an addict then you aren't really one. Dependent people can become addicts so always look to solve the cause of your problems with less meds.

Question 8

Good question: Simple answer, don't use substances that can be addictive. This is the safest approach espcially if you have a strong family history of addiction in your family.  I will leave it at that, that is the best way to avoid becoming addicted, period. Be healthy, eat right, exercise, have a good network of friends, talk about your feelings, use healthy coping methods to deal with life stressors.
