Heroin Addiction Symptoms

Besides being one of the most addictive substances in the world heroin produces some really nasty symptoms. Although heroin addiction symptoms may be obvious to some, too many who do not know what they are, will lead the observer to conclude that the heroin addict is just very ill or suffering from some disease yet to be defined.

Heroin Addiction Symptoms

Heroin addiction symptoms include the following:
  • * Lethargy
  • * Constipation
  • * Pupil dilation
  • * Dry-mouth
  • * Hypoventilation
  • * Shallow breathing

More than these specific symptoms, Heroin addicts display a lack of concern over their daily routine. Their hygiene and over all appearance can often times appear to have deteriorated over time. Their attitude on life and personal goals ultimately are affected and twisted. Many Heroin addicts suffer from mood swings and since cravings begin nearly instantly for another hit their personality shifts can be seismic.

With proper awareness of Heroin addiction symptoms others can help their friends and loved ones seek the help they need.
