How can you tell if someone is on drugs?

If someone is on drugs what how can you tell?  What does dialted eyes mean? I think the drug being used is oxymoxin? Not sure if I am spelling correctly. Heard the name metioned, I think this might be the drug a friend is using.

Hi buddy. I'm glad you're back but of course sorry for the reason. I know you must be feeling like **** right about now. I will pray for you tonight, that you can sleep without that demon. I know exactly how you feel and hope to never be there again, but know it could happen, easy.
You've got the right attitude. You have to think this is the time, and be determined to make it so. It isn't magic; it's determination. Like you I WD many times and it did seem to get worse each trip. The last one took at least a week, a bit more. But only the first few days were truly miserable.
How long did you use this time? God, I wish I could make it better for you, for all of us.
By the way, Monday will be 9 weeks for me, and I feel really good. I have bad days, some very bad, but also some truly terrific and on the whole, much better than I was a few months ago. I remember that when using I never had a really "good" day, just days when I didn't feel quite as shitty. I think we're all searching for something and for a brief time found it in drugs; somehow we fool ourselves into thinking, when we're down, that those might give it to us again. But they never do.
Hang in there and know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm around if you want to talk; ***@****. Hope you're night is good.

Hydrocodone, as with most opiates, are out of your system in generally 1 to 2 days.  In chronic use, it may take up to 4 or 5 days.  I like to err on the side of caution and would give myself a week.

Thanks,

I did stop taking them yesterday and I do feel better, unfortuatley I will have to take them again to be absolutely sure it was the pills that did it.  The pain meds and the pills should not interfere with one another, but who knows for sure.

Thanks,

hmmm that doesn't sound like too much of either, so I have to turn myself in and say "I have no clue what might be going for you". If it continues stop the supplements and see how you feel.

Good luck, and I'm sorry you're not feeling well.

Anyone else out there know how it makes you feel to take the L-Tyrosine while still on the pain meds? I have no idea what the science on that is...

love,
WW

Thank you for your reply,

I took 1x 500 mg tyrosine and 1x 50 mg of 5-HTP (an extract from some plant) either once or twice a day.  In any event, I got really ill, a weird dull headache that made me feel queasy.  I wasn't sure if it is the pills or a virus.  I should mentioned that I still am taking my pain meds with the recipie, I don't know if that "wrong".
