Question
Mary,

I have a collegue at work who I think may have an addiction to oxycoton.  I am not sure of this and have been on line trying to find out the symptoms of this drug.  I need to know what are the signs that I can look for.  I do not want to say anything to her unless I have some facts.  Another collegue at work told me that she knew someone who was addicted and one of the signs was eating tons of candy.  Can this be a sure sign or does she just have a sweet tooth.

April

Answer
DEAR APRIL-
GEE, HALF OF AMERICA HAS A SWEET TOOOTH. ITS HARD TO SAY IF THAT IS A SIGN.
SIGNS CAN BE DROWSINESS  AND SOMETIMES IT CAN BE EXCITABILITY. . HER PUPILS WOULD BE DILATED  (SMALL) SOMETIMES PEOPLE WILL BE SCRATCHING...
IS SHE ABSENT FROM WORK. SPENDING LOTS OF MONEY, IRRITABLE ,MOOD SWINGS?
GOOD LUCK, MARY
