Tourettes Syndrome or drug addiction?
by Alice5523, Jul 08, 2007 12:00AM
A 44 year old, female friend of mine is showing symptoms such as legs jerking, high anxiety, cries easily, is emotional, frequently cannot answer direct questions, dry mouth, sleeplessness, unable to carry on a conversation, clumsy..She tells me she has Tourettes Syndrome, but the reading I have done on the disease does not seem to match. I am suspecting she is really addicted to vicodin, a drug I know she misused earlier this year. She told me she paid a lady $800.00 and that lady gave her something that caused her not to be addicted to vicodin anymore. 1. Has anyone heard of such a thing? 2. In addition, does anyone know if the symptoms I described above are typical of vicodin withdrawal? 3. Lastly, is there such a thing as a home drug test for vicodin?
She has been known to frequent emergency rooms and has been prescribed several different medications for "calming effect" - because her shaking is so bad. He shaking is in her legs only. I have asked her about a rx drug addiction and she denies it. Duh I guess.

her symptoms are indicative of someone withdrawing from drugs.
