My sister was prescribed vicodin for her mullers, and shes been taking 2 every other day for about A week. I took pills for a really long time without getting addicted but shes differen't. She has a very addictive personality...BUT the fact that shes taking them every other day seems to keep me a little calm. Should I bother her or leave her alone? Its only a week, but still I dont want my sister ending up being A pill-head you know?

Im only worried because shes not even in pain, and thats the first sign of abusing which will lead to addiction. I think?

her prescription is probably for not that many pills. So even if she became addicted she would have to find a doctor willing to prescribe the medication. And medical doctors don't prescribe painkillers without really good proof of a serious problem.
I would leave her alone and see what happens after she runs out of pills.

You should steal her pills to protect her from becoming a pill head. Then you can take them as you've shown an ability to be able use them without getting addicted.
Seriously - she didn't interfere when you took some for " along time" because she respected you. How about you return the favor she is not abusing them from your description.
