Facts

  • Sudden heroin withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health can result in death under certain conditions.
  • Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
  • Some addicts who use methadone claim that they experience effects similar to that of other opiates such as heroin, albeit not to the same extent.
  • Methamphetamine impairs the ability and the desire to be safe which could lead to riskier activity and behaviors, not just sexually but in general.
