Hi, when opiates are stopped suddenly withdrawal symptoms occur. Since reaction is usually very strong it is easier if patient is in the hospital, where he can get professional help in case of need. Sweating, shaking, and mental confusion are normal reaction. Severe headaches, drug craving can be unbearable for family members, it is easier if you don’t have to see your child in that condition. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are accompanying major symptoms. Usually they also have problems to fall asleep and become very irritable, but they are not allowed to take any sleeping pills as these are also addictive.
