Facts

  • When Xanax is used in high doses for longer than a couple of months, the individual can experience both a psychological and a physical addiction to the medication.
  • Because individuals who take hypnotic medication to sleep often experience withdrawal from these drugs when they try and quit, they often become addicted to them and use them long-term for fear of going through withdrawal.
  • Street dealers often promote methadone as a heroin alternative, which has caused sales of methadone on the street to escalate significantly.
  • Methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms which are common can include fatigue, depression anxiety, irritability, headaches, agitation, an inability to remain still, excessive sleeping, vivid or lucid dreams, deep REM sleep and suicidal ideation and an increased appetite.

Partlow, VA. - Methadone Detoxification

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and challenging experience. Withdrawal Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of the drug. Common symptoms include: stomach cramps, sweating, nausea, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, irritability, sneezing, fever, chills, vomiting, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, clinical depression and hallucinations. Additionally, these unpleasant methadone withdrawal symptoms tend to continue much longer than heroin withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the dose of methadone and how long the person has been using methadone, the symptoms can last for several weeks to several months. Professionals in the field of methadone detoxification share that it is important to gradually decrease your dose of the drug over a period of time instead of completely stopping all at once.
