Opioids are narcotics, drugs that numb pain. It’s common to get dependent on medications if you use them for a long time. If you physically depend on a medication, you’ll have withdrawal symptoms if you stop using it.
Symptoms of opioid withdrawal include:
- Restlessness
- Muscle and bone pain
- Insomnia
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Chills with goose bumps
- Involuntary leg movements
