What is Addiction?

Addiction exists when the body becomes so accustomed to the presence of a foreign substance that it can no longer function properly if the substance is withheld. This is why a person who is addicted to a drug experiences withdrawal symptoms It'suddenly deprived of the drug. Signs of drug addiction include a decreased desire to work or socialize, extreme drowsiness, inattentiveness, frequent mood swings, restlessness, personality changes, and a loss of appetite. Other symptoms include slow, slurred speech and a change in the eye pupils.

The following recommended dosages are for adults. For a child under the age of 17, use half to three-quarters of the recommended dosage.
