Facts
- Quitting an antidepressant suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and a return of depression symptoms.
- OxyContin withdrawal symptoms are like symptoms of many opiate-based drugs such as heroin, morphine, Dilaudid, methadone, and codeine.
- More and more opiate users are turning to sniffing and smoking opiates instead of injection them, because of increased purity and the misconception that these forms of administration are safer.
- Because central nervous system depressants work by slowing the brain's activity, when an individual stops taking the drug this activity can rebound and as part of withdrawal seizures can occur.
