Thus the symptoms of narcotic withdrawal include dysphoria (opposite of euphoria), anxiety, hyperactivity, goose-bumps, muscle spasms (opposite of depressant effect) and diarrhoea (opposite of constipation).
In addition to general stress and anxiety relief, benzodiazepines are also used to relieve the symptoms of alcohol and narcotic withdrawal.
One day before narcotic withdrawal begins, lorazepam is started in order to ease anxiety, at a dose of 1 mg every 6-8 hours, continued throughout the entire withdrawal.
