Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Gregory House is exhibiting dependence, as he experiences withdrawal symptoms when he stops taking the drug he has become dependent on. Tolerance is the need for increased amounts of a drug to achieve the desired effect, paranoia and suicidal ideation are not mentioned in the scenario, and insomnia is a possible symptom of withdrawal, but not the best descriptor of House's situation.
