What are the Signs and Symptoms of OxyContin Addiction?
There are a number of hallmark signs and symptoms of OxyContin addiction, any number of which can indicate that the individual is in need of professional help (in the form of a drug rehab program). These symptoms include: • Severe mood swings (dizzying highs when using the drug, the lowest of lows when not) • Withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings when not taking OxyContin • Criminal behavior such as stealing from friends and family in order finance one’s habit • Unethical behavior such as “doctor shopping” in which the individual sees several different physicians and lies about their condition in order to receive additional OxyContin prescriptions.
