Lortab
Withdrawal
Lortab combines a narcotic
analgesic (painkiller) and cough reliever with a non-narcotic analgesic for
the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain. Individuals develop an addiction
to Lortab because it produces feelings of well-being. Once an individual has
developed an addiction to Lortab they will often get multiple prescriptions
from different doctors to support their addiction. Lortab activates the brains
reward systems. The promise of reward is very intense, causing the individual
to crave more Lortab and to focus his or her activities around taking the drug.
The ability of Lortab to strongly activate brain reward mechanisms and its ability
to chemically alter the normal functioning of these systems is what produces
an addiction to Lortab. Lortab also reduce a persons level of consciousness,
harming the ability to think or be fully aware of present surroundings.
If a regular user stops
taking Lortab, he or she will experience Lortab withdrawal symptoms within six
to twelve hours but the symptoms are usually not life-threatening. Initial withdrawal
symptoms usually begin with hours of the last dose of Lortab and may include:
cravings, running nose, excessive sweating, insomnia, and violent yawning. Those
who have been addicted to Lortab for a long time, may progress to severe withdrawal
symptoms, including: chills, fever, muscle spasms, abdominal pain, seizures,
and even fall into a coma. The intensity of an individuals Lortab withdrawal
symptoms depends on the degree of the individuals addiction to Lortab. For example,
the symptoms of withdrawal from Lortab may grow stronger for twenty-four to
seventy-two hours and then gradually decline over a period of seven to fourteen
days. Cessation of Lortab is best accomplished at a drug rehabilitation center,
where Lortab withdrawal can be managed. Assisted Lortab withdrawal is safer
and also increases the chance that an individual will "come off" a
Lortab.
Lortab withdrawal symptoms
include but are not limited to:
- intense cravings for
the drug
- irritability
- nausea or vomiting
- muscle aches
- runny nose or eyes
- dilated pupils
- sweating
- diarrhea
- yawning
