The use of narcotic substances causes intoxication and the strongest physical addiction, while their discontinuation, in turn, leads to a painful condition, called ‘withdrawal’. Our specialists will help you to end this deadlock.
What is withdrawal syndrome
To figure it out, let us define it. Thus, withdrawal syndrome (cold turkey, cessation of a substance dependence) is a sharp physiological and mental deterioration of a drug addict in case of discontinuation of psychoactive substances. The used chemicals penetrate into the vital metabolic processes (metabolism) and, once withdrawn, the body responses to their lack as to a threatening condition, causing specific symptoms and malfunctions.
Withdrawal symptoms
Withdrawal syndrome may cause the following mental and physiological symptoms:
- Hallucinations, anxiety;
- Discoordination of movements, disbalance;
- Dilated pupils;
- Nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal disturbances;
- Depression / overexcitation;
- Somatic joint / muscle pain;
- Convulsions, tremors of the limbs;
- Chills, sweating;
- Failures of the heart rhythm;
- Insomnia, obsessive thoughts.
In case you note any of the listed withdrawal symptoms, please do not hesitate to contact specialists. Severe withdrawal can cause cardiac arrest and death.
