Alcohol BiPolar Disorder ADD ADHD

Withdrawal, also known as withdrawal/abstinence syndrome, refers to the characteristic signs and symptoms that appear when a drug that causes physical dependence is regularly used for a long time and then suddenly discontinued or decreased in dosage. The term can also, less formally, refer to symptoms that appear after discontinuing a drug or other substance (unable to cause true physical dependence) that one has become psychologically dependent upon.

Examples are:

• alcohol withdrawal syndrome
• delirium tremens
• benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome
• methadone withdrawal symptoms
• SSRI discontinuation syndrome
• neonatal abstinence syndrome
