Effects of Opiate Addiction

 

Opiate addiction has various effects-sedative, reflexes, movements, breathing which are slow, raspy speech, cold skin, and possible vomiting. A central nervous system disorder, opiate addiction is caused by continuous opiate intake.

Symptoms

Opiate withdrawal symptoms include agitation; anxiety; tremors; muscle aches; hot and cold flashes; sometimes nausea, extremely uncomfortable vomiting, and diarrhea. The dose and speed of withdrawal has a direct relation on the intensity of the reaction. Opiates, like heroin, that have spontaneous reactions on ingestion have more intense but briefer symptoms.
