What Are Some Drug Withdrawal Symptoms?
The most common therapeutic drugs that cause withdrawal symptoms include barbiturates, benzodiazepines and opioids such as oxycodone. Other drugs that cause withdrawal symptoms include heroin, nicotine, alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, caffeine, inhalants, cannabinoids and various sedative-hypnotic drugs. The text “Essential Psychopharmacology” explains that the severity and types of withdrawal symptoms depends on the length of time the drug was used and the dose that the body has grown accustomed to.
