GNU Free Documentation License What are the symptoms of codeine addiction? Q. My friend Peter is secretly abusing drugs. I discovered his addiction last Friday. I know it's wrong and I want to put a stop into it. I really want to help him get over his hobby. The only problem is, I don't know the drug that he's been taking. All I know is the symptoms he's been experiencing. I have a feeling that he's taking codeine but I'm not really sure. Can anyone tell me the symptoms of codeine addiction that I have to take note of?
