no it dosnt make her an addict, but a critical question anyone taking drugs should ask themselves is...

Is this drug causing probelms in my life, or interfering with my relationships, or my job, or my family life, etc. If she answers these questions for herself my quess is the answer will be an overwhelming YES.

I was addictd to hydro for several years of my college life. I went to the school hospital for on going life long headaches, theyre not classified as migraines, but it feels like someone is drilling a hole in my head.

Anyway I asked for T3s or T4s becasue I know how habit forming hydro can be. For some reason they insisted I take 5/500, next thing I know even the slightest ache was being treated with hydro, then getting out of bed I needed a hydro, then a hydro b4 lunch. Next thing I know Im visiting the school hospital more and more often. My job was suffering, my friends were sick of my addiction, my engagement was destroyed, my teachers even noticed my constant empty look and falling marks, and I was always worried about where I was going to get my next script, or if I had less than 20 pills, it was worry time. Thru all of this I thought I dont need friends, a wife, good grades, I just need my 357s at least 5 times a day. I was real good at making excuses why I needed this drug.

To top it all off, I was going thru some serious depression. Im not fearful of going to a counselor, shoot Im in the mental health field. I was very upfront with the counselor about my hydro use, and other things in my life. I was looking for a anti-depressive or something to get rid of the dark cloud that was following me everywhere. The counselor knew my background(psychology) and said you know we really need to get you off of hydro (a CNS depressant) to make sure this is not the cause or contributing to your depression, lack of friends, poor grades, getting fired from your job, etc.

Well after 3 days of addmision to detox, my mind was a bit clearer, and my few remaining friends had removed all hydro based products from my college apartment. GUESS what after about a week the nasty depression cloud lifted, my interest in life was back, friends enjoyed me being me again, I actually got my job back after discussing my rehab, now the engagement that was too late, I managed to work my wholeass off and got my grades back to a decent standing.

I guess I went thru this whole story becasue it sounds as if someone was thinking of the many reasons she needed hydro, another sign of addiction. It just reminded me of my own excuses and how I didnt realize the thing I was concerned with most (hydro) had become my worst enemy, and I either didnt realize it or I would make up excuses as to why I had to have it.

Now days its 800mg ibupofen, if that simply wont work 2 nuro +s does the trick, and I dont feel the need to pop a nuro + every day to get by.
