Prescription pain medications are powerful opiates prescribed by medical physicians to treat acute, chronic pain. They are also known as narcotics and painkillers. Most addictions to opiates begin with a prescription written by a doctor for severe pain and suffering. An addiction to prescription pain medications is a form of substance use disorder.
Due to their potent nature, opiates are quickly habit-forming. These substances can leave your body craving even more after any signs of pain or problems have been resolved.
Some of the common pain medications prescribed include Hydrocodone (Norco, Vicodin), Oxycodone (Oxycontin, Percocet), Morphine, Methadone and Fentanyl.

Behavioral Effects of Prescription Pain Medication Abuse
When it comes to abusing opioid medications, the ways you act and feel can dramatically shift from the norm. You may experience extreme mood swings from one side of the spectrum to another. You may become easily irritable and short-tempered. You may experience impaired behavioral decisions that are out of character.
Another aspect of life that is affected by opioid abuse includes financial factors. Individuals who have become addicted to opioid painkillers end up spending large sums of money to obtain drugs. Sometimes they end up spending money they do not have in an effort to fulfill their cravings.
This leads to stealing from loved ones and neglecting important personal and professional relationships. Patients begin to slowly pull away from friends, family and loved ones.
Individuals who are abusing prescription pain medications may find themselves participating in dangerous behaviors. Such behaviors include driving while under the influence of substances, partaking in risky activities and violating legal regulations and getting arrested. Prescription opioid use can greatly affect a person’s mental health and overall well-being.
Physical Effects of Prescription Pain Medication Abuse
It is apparent opioid addiction greatly affects the emotional aspect of a person’s psyche. But it can also create additional physical effects on the body. Opioids are a central nervous system depressant.
It makes you feel calm and more relaxed and gives you a euphoric type of feeling while under the influence. Because of this, its addictive nature is easily overlooked.
The body is able to quickly adapt to the presence of opiates. Withdrawal symptoms can occur as soon as use is reduced or stopped. Some withdrawal symptoms can include restlessness, muscle/bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and hot and cold flashes.
Individuals can also experience slowed breathing and dizziness. In cases of severe abuse and addiction, individuals are at high risk of overdose and death.
