MS Contin Withdrawal
MS Contin withdrawal provokes severe symptoms after chronic overuse, when the drug administration ends suddenly.
Physical MS Contin withdrawal reactions typically
occur when the body denotes a decrease or withholding
in the usual dosage. Medical staff, therefore, sometimes
referred to this also as ‘abstinence syndrome’.
Detoxification anesthesiologist, Dr. Clifford A. Bernstein,
M.D., states: “A sudden discontinued supply
of opiates will often cause unbearable withdrawal symptoms
including irritability, profuse sweating, abdominal
cramping and diarrhea.” His experience in
opiate detoxification and pain management spans over
ten years.
“This agonizing withdrawal is the reason
why most of those patients with dependencies cannot
stop taking the drugs,” he explains about
the current trend in addiction to prescription drugs,
like MS Contin.
MS Contin Withdrawal Syndrome
The symptoms of MS Contin withdrawal syndrome may
start within 12 to 24 hours and will vary, according
to patient history, but often include:
- Dilated pupils
- Goose bumps
- Restlessness
- Sleeping difficulties
- Runny nose
- Eyes tearing
- Yawning
Increased
drug craving may also appear as MS Contin withdrawal
syndrome progresses.
After 72 hours:
- Abdominal and leg pains
- Abdominal and muscle cramps
- Abnormal skin sensations
- Aches and pains
- Anxiety
- Cold- or flu-like symptoms
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Headaches
- Hot and cold flashes
- Increase in body temperature
- Increased blood pressure
- Increased breathing
- Insomnia
- Kicking movements
- Loss of appetite
- Mood swings
- Nausea
- Pain
- Rapid heartbeat
- Rigid muscles
- Severe backache
- Shivering or tremors
- Sneezing
- Sweating
- Twitching and muscle spasms
- Vomiting
- Weakness
- Strong drug craving (in some cases)
- Seeing, hearing or feeling things that are not
there (hallucinations).
Sometimes weeks or months may pass before a dependent
patient begins to feel normal again, although some
report that certain symptoms—like tremors and
leg spasms--endure just as long.
MS Contin withdrawal or ‘abstinence’ syndrome
may disappear within 1 to 2 weeks, but a second phase
of withdrawal may occur and last for 2 to 6 months. Second
phase symptoms include:
- Aching muscles
- Irritability
- Insomnia.
MS Contin Withdrawal and Detox
MS Contin withdrawal syndrome is an agonizing process,
with possible fatal consequences in health compromised
by drug dependency.
After the physical desire for MS Contin opiate decreases,
without the usual dose of MS Contin ®, the patient
may still:
- continue to think and talk about the drug.
- feel out-of-place in familiar settings.
- feel too overwhelmed to cope with daily responsibilities.
To lower the dangers of MS Contin withdrawal,
opiate detox treatment requires:
- safe and responsible care
- the latest medical technology.
Conventional detox procedures with older safety
and anesthesia protocol may inflict patients with
an unwarranted and debilitating MS Contin withdrawal
syndrome.
At the Waismann Method of Rapid Detoxification, we
consider dependency as a treatable, reversible medical
disorder. The Waismann Method procedure is effective,
dignified, safe and humane--our standard
