Personality Changes Posted: 07-31-03 13:03pm
Personality changes are often an
indication of chemical dependancy on an
addictive substance. Increased tolerance
(decreased effectiveness - and needing to
take more of a medication) are some other
symptoms.
As the dependancy on a substance
progresses, the pain threshold drops,
causing the person to perceive seemingly
normal discomforts and problems as
unbearable disasters. This impacts the
person's physical, emotional, and
spiritual sense of well-being
When a person does not take their
medication they can become very irritable
or angry. However, there is a distinction
between chemical dependance and addiction.

Yes that is true. On the other hand,
addiction is a very powerful thing and it
is greatly up to the addict to decide if
they are going to stop using or not.
Comming from boca raton, fl the hub zone
for addicts you know this. Do you have
any connection with the recovery that is
going on down in boca, specifically
awakenings or boca house??? Just
curious, because I was down there not to
long ago for my problems and issues.
