The symptoms of drug withdrawal depends on the type of drug abused by the person. Usually, the withdrawal effects are the reverse of the pharmacological effects. The most common withdrawal symptoms include vomiting, pain, anxiety, mood swings, craving, restlessness, diarrhea, irritability and sleeping problems. The withdrawal is a very critical part of fighting addiction that’s why people experiencing it must be really taken care of.
