This self-guided assessment is created to help you evaluate the level of your Fentanyl use, but this quiz is not intended to replace a proper, clinical diagnosis of Fentanyl addiction. You can use the results of this assessment as a guide to help you determine if your Fentanyl use is problematic, recognize the signs and symptoms of Fentanyl use disorder and seek treatment for Fentanyl addiction if necessary. Review your results with your physician or call The Recovery Village to speak with a representative about your Fentanyl use disorder and the options for treatment programs.
Am I Addicted to Fentanyl?
This quiz is a self-guided assessment that has been created from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders which is the standard criteria for diagnosing mental health and substance use disorders. This assessment contains “yes” or “no” questions relative to your Fentanyl use during the last 12 months. If you’re looking for answers about an alcohol use disorder, this quiz does not contain questions about alcohol abuse, you can take this quiz for alcoholism instead. If you're concerned about the prescription drug use of a loved one, take the quiz Is My Loved One Addicted To Prescription Drugs?
Please answer “yes” or “no” based on your fentanyl use only. Over the past 12 months:
Have you used fentanyl in larger doses or for longer periods of time than intended?
Have you taken fentanyl for recreational purposes?
Have you been increasingly taking more of the drug in order to achieve the same euphoric effects?
Have you repeatedly experienced a strong desire to use fentanyl?
Have you spent a considerable amount of time trying to access fentanyl?
Have you experienced nausea or vomiting, confusion or decreased sexual desire?
Have you had difficulties trying to stop using fentanyl?
Have you experienced withdrawal symptoms — like muscle aches, mood swings or insomnia — upon sudden cessation?
Have you lost the desire to participate in normal activities or hobbies because of fentanyl use?
Has your fentanyl use affected your ability to communicate with loved ones?
Have you continued to use fentanyl despite knowing the health, social and legal consequences?
Has your fentanyl use resulted in social, legal or financial problems?
