A member asked:
How do you know if you have a codeine addiction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use of medication: Addiction involves the way you're using a drug. If you're using this Codeine for other purposes than as prescribed -- despite ill effects on you, your relationships, your work, etc -- you likely have an addiction. Another clue: using more than intended, and requiring more and more for the same effect. Another indicator: using this Codeine but it wasn't even prescribed to you in the first place.
