- PCP affects the levels of dopamine in the brain, a natural chemical in the body which is responsible for the euphoria and "rush" associated with many abused drugs.
- Lortab withdrawal symptoms include but are not limited to, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, intense pain in the body, tremors, excessive sweating, anxiety, insomnia, muscle cramps with spasms, body chills, goose bumps, paranoia, agitated and aggressive behavior, increased heart rate, hyperactivity, dilated pupils, runny nose and eyes, depression and loss of appetite.
