Facts

  • 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.
  • When a prescription medication is stopped, withdrawal from the drug causes a return of the original symptom the medication was used for, often in a much worse degree.
  • Withdrawal is most commonly used to describe the onset of the group of symptoms that occurs upon the abrupt discontinuation/separation or a decrease in dosage of the intake of medications, recreational drugs, and alcohol.
  • Individuals who take methadone will typically begin experiencing withdrawal symptoms three to four days after the last dose.
