Facts

  • Prescription drug abuse means that an individual is taking a prescription medication that is not prescribed for them to get high, or taking it for reasons or in dosages other than as prescribed.
  • 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.
  • Antidepressant discontinuation syndrome is more likely with a longer duration of treatment and a shorter half-life of the treatment drug.
  • Withdrawal symptoms commonly associated with morphine addiction are experienced shortly before the time of the next scheduled dose, sometimes within as early as a few hours after the last administration.
