Hard to say: It varies from person to person. One way to check is to stop the medication and see if you develop signs of withdrawal. I would certainly discuss with your doctor before doing this.

Doubtful: Assuming you are prescribed this medicine for a real pain, and taking as directed, rather than chewing, snorting, injecting or taking multiple doses at l time. BUT speak to your provider regarding you need for this med and if other options will control your pain . Do you crave this drug, can you control your use, would you use it if it caused you harm? Addicts will do these things
