Withdrawal symptoms occur during the detox period after your last drink or use of drugs. Chronic substance use leads to these symptoms worsening and they can be vastly different in severity and type.<\/p>\n
Consistent use of a substance will cause your body and mind to\u00a0become dependent\u00a0on the presence of that substance. For example, if drugs are abused regularly and then you immediately stop, your brain will panic at the sudden loss of the drug. The reason the brain becomes dependent is that different drugs trigger different neurotransmitters that are responsible for feelings of euphoria, happiness and reward.<\/p>\n
When the brain doesn’t have to trigger these transmitters itself, it will begin to rely on the drug for it instead. Once you quit using the drug and it’s gone, the brain has to relearn how to function on its own. Depending on the drug abused, this can lead to feeling the opposite way the neurotransmitter typically works.<\/p>\n
The withdrawal symptoms experienced change based on the person’s health, type of substance used,\u00a0how long<\/a>\u00a0it’s been abused and the amount consumed.<\/p>\n Following the rule of thumb that symptoms tend to be the opposite of the drug, stimulants that increase brain activity and dopamine production can lead to psychological symptoms such as depression.<\/p>\n To get a better idea of the most common withdrawal symptoms, you should take a look at the specific types of substances and their respective symptoms.<\/p>\n Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be some of the most severe out of any substance.

Severe withdrawal symptoms can be life-threatening if not addressed immediately.<\/p>\n It’s an unfortunate truth that withdrawal symptoms can be more dangerous than the side effects experienced from a drug. This happens because your body will develop a tolerance for commonly used drugs, meaning you need more of it for your body to react the same as before.<\/p>\n The longer you abuse a certain substance, the higher your tolerance will be but your brain’s dependence on the substance also grows. Even though the same level of “high” is felt by the individual, the severity of withdrawal symptoms keeps increasing.<\/p>\n Withdrawal symptoms can last for days or weeks on end, sometimes impacting areas of the brain for life.
