Answer:Narcotic painkillers

Explanation:Opioids are narcotic, painkilling drugs derived from opium or made synthetically. This class of drugs includes heroin, morphine, codeine, methadone and oxycodone. Some individuals who have been using opioids over a long period of time may need physician-prescribed temporary or long-term drug substitution during treatment.

Signs and symptoms of narcotic use and dependence can include:

Euphoria or feeling "high"

Reduced sense of pain

Drowsiness or sedation

Slurred speech

Problems with attention and memory

Constricted pupils

Lack of awareness or inattention to surrounding people and things

Problems with coordination

Depression

Confusion

Sweaty, clammy skin

Constipation

Runny nose or nose sores (if snorting drugs)

Needle marks (if injecting drugs)
