Hi, my son has been of heroin for 7 days now, after detox. He is haveing sever withdrawal symptoms like dysphoria, nausea, vomiting, insomnia. How can I help him?
Hi, the symptoms you have mentioned are typical for opioid withdrawal. After using the drug on a heavy and prolonged basis and suddenly stoping it leads to symptoms of: dysphoric behavior, including anxiety, depression, and restlessness, yawning is often noticed. Nausea and vomiting are additional problems. Many patients also experience diarrhoea. Insomnia leads to lack of energy for daily activities and increases irritability and restlessness. I can suggest you to take lavender pillows to improve sleep, as this is not addictive.
