Symptoms of Withdrawal

Depending on the type of addiction a person has, will determine the typical withdrawal symptoms they will go through. This is a basic list of typical withdrawal symptoms from particular addictions.

Alcohol: Typical withdrawal symptoms are sweating, anxiety, tremors, seizures, psychosis, and fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate. A person will go through what is called the DT’s (delirium tremens) - a state of extreme agitation, with periods of hallucinations, hyperactivity, tremors, and confusion.

Opiates/Narcotics: Mimic alcohol withdrawal in the anxiety, and increased heart rate and blood pressure, with the addition of insomnia, dilated pupils, nausea, and vomiting.

Stimulants: Typical withdrawal symptoms are excessive fatigue, depression, and bouts with migraines.

Barbiturates: Withdrawal symptoms commonly associated with barbiturates are nausea, fast breathing, increased heart rate, tremors, muscle pains, insomnia, hallucinations, convulsions, and delirium. If withdrawal is not monitored closely when dealing with barbiturates, death is very possible.

Benzodiazepines: The common withdrawal symptoms associated with Benzodiazepines are delirium; muscle twitches; hallucinations; sensitivity to light, sound taste and smell; tinnitus; tingling and/or numbness; and insomnia.
