What are some signs i can look for to see if my b/f is shooting up. I recently found some things that lead me to believe he might be. But what can i look at ( like hjis arm ) to see if he is. What would the arm look like? Could there be just a small pimple like scar or would there definetly be a bruise (markings?)?  Where are the major spots he might shoot up.. any info you have to help me look on him (not supplies needed cuz obviously we know what that would look like) to see if he is would help me because i need to stop this if its happening or we are done... Thank you

hey,just to say we are married,we have been together since we were 12 and now we are 30, so this is very scary to think that he would do this to me,he is not on the needle(knock on wood) like after he told me he has snorted them,he said he would stop and i really dont know what to think.he used to stay in the rest room a long time and i have busted in on him a time or 2 and he had his wallet out once and he said he was counting money..yea right!!.lol...i just didnt know what to look for like the signs,like wiping his nose alot or icthing his face,I really like to know how he would act and the signs or if he is off of them what is that sign??he is not going to the rest room that much no more so i think thats good but i think for a while he would stop at a gas station or resterant and use it there..if you will talk to me and just let me know what you know that will be great thanks for your help...

Hey there! I have been going through this battle with my fiance for the last year now. It started out as taking them, then snorting them and I found him shooting them. Always look for very tiny pupils, big give away! If you are watching a movie in a dark room and his pupils are still small....ding ding ding! Anyhow, he would hide everything to the best of his abilities....I would always find out everything by searching. He told me he only did it "X" amount of times. If your b/f is indeed an addict, I highly doubt he only did it three times...nor that he will never do it again. These pills are highly addictive and he will say whatver he needs too, to keep you and his drugs, BOTH! So, if he really did quit and doesn;t want to take  these anymore suggest NA meetings or something. If he is dissapearing more often and for longer peiods of time, check it out. Keep your eye open for any rolled up paper, bills, and even pill crushers. I just hope he hasn't gone to the needle. That is an even scarier ordeal. Trust me. If you want to talk anytime, let me know :)

I used to snort roxi's. the signs for me were sniffing alot just after you have done one, spending a longer period of time in the bathroom, pin point size pupils, getting "lazy eyes" or falling asleep sitting up or just "out of it" and as said above i always had a dollar bill or straw in reach such as my pocket or purse. I got careless and left blue or green residue on the bathroom counter or another surface. "slowing down" and even change in my speech. hope this helps

From my own experience when I would sniff pills, or even other drugs, I would always be clearing my nose, like you would if you had a runny nose. Beyond that it would be really hard to distinguish someone who sniffed pills or just took them. Some of the signs of an addict are sleeping patterns, any nodding in and out, appetite change, money or valuables missing, mood swings, dialated pupils and just overall changes in their personality. Obviously you suspect somebody and Im not sure if you've confronted them about the situation but that would be my first step. You never know until you ask, sometimes people are just waiting for someone to help, addiction is hard to deal with by yourself. Couple more things to look out for are cut straws, pens, rolled up bills, basicly anything that could be used to sniff something. Hope something here helps, take care.

I've never really been around anyone snorting anything..but, from what I've heard...they would have sinus problems (like you'd expect). So, besides the obvious signs of opiate use, I'd look for sneezing, runny noses, etc..for a long period of time. The easy way to find out is to get a home drug test. Cheap and reliable.
