Opioid Dependence And Withdrawal
Opioids have specific withdrawal and dependence characteristics common to all opioids, varying according to the specific drug. All opioids cause both physical and psychological dependence with prolonged use. Depending on the opioid in question withdrawal can become evident after continued use in as little time as 2 weeks or as long as 2 months.

Withdrawal is commonly overstated by media and tends to be similar to bad case of flu. This is due to the fact that most opioid users don't tend to be able to acquire enough drug to result in severe withdrawal. It must be noted that physical symptoms may be similar to flu, psychological symptoms can be quite painful. Depression, mood swings, hypersensitivity to pain are some common symptoms. Opioid withdrawal DOES NOT endanger life as does alcohol and other depressant withdrawal.
