Physical drug withdrawal symptoms are a result of the body getting rid of toxins. These symptoms include such things as:
- fatigue
- headaches
- muscle aches
- changes in sleep patterns
- changes in appetite
- constipation and/or diarrhea
The mental and emotional symptoms of withdrawal are believed to be the result of lower levels of neurotransmitters in the brain. They can include such things as:
- difficulty concentrating
- feelings of anxiety and/or depression,
- irritability
- cravings
Some drugs will also cause hallucinations during withdrawal and some drugs have specific withdrawal symptoms because of the specific chemistry of the drug.
This comparison chart illustrates, however, that many psychoactive drugs have the same withdrawal symptoms.
