Researchers found that brain activity increases with smoking, but quickly adapts after quitting. Stopping smoking abruptly can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms, which may deter former smokers from continuing their quit journey.
A study by Massachusetts General Hospital found that 40% of cannabis-using adolescents experienced withdrawal symptoms, despite widespread perception of cannabis as nonaddictive. The presence or absence of withdrawal did not affect long-term treatment outcomes.
A recent study published in PLOS ONE found that certain cannabis withdrawal symptoms are more strongly associated with relapse than others. Participants experiencing physical tension, sleep problems, and anxiety were more likely to relapse during the abstinence period and consumed more cannabis afterwards.
A new Australian study reveals a significant rise in neonatal withdrawal syndrome among newborns, with 906 cases diagnosed between 1980 and 2005. The research highlights the need for early identification and intervention to prevent abuse and neglect.
A study by Johns Hopkins Medicine finds that marijuana withdrawal is similar to tobacco withdrawal, with common symptoms like irritability and trouble sleeping. The research suggests that clinicians treating marijuana addiction should consider these effects in their practice.
Two new vaccines have been designed to combat cocaine and methamphetamine dependencies, stimulating the body to produce antibodies that attack the drugs. These therapeutic vaccines minimize withdrawal symptoms and relieve addiction, but do not necessarily curb relapse.
A short walk can significantly reduce cravings for cigarettes in smokers, helping them manage withdrawal symptoms and resist the urge to smoke. Moderate exercise can be as effective as a drug in reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it a valuable tool for quitting smoking.
Researchers found that disrupting the brain's stress-response mechanism exacerbates behavioral withdrawal symptoms in mice. Administering corticosterone alleviates these symptoms, suggesting new approaches to reduce withdrawal symptoms. Genetic changes indicate impaired stress-response circuitry in the brain.
Researchers found that nicotine withdrawal symptoms begin as early as 30 minutes after quitting, impacting smokers' cravings, mood, and behavior. This discovery challenges the common assumption that withdrawal symptoms occur later in the process.
Researchers studying neonatal rat models aim to understand the role of norepinephrine in opiate withdrawal and explore its potential as a treatment. Clonidine, traditionally used for high blood pressure, may provide relief from symptoms in newborn infants.
A study of 72 adolescent marijuana users found that nearly two-thirds experienced four or more symptoms of marijuana withdrawal, including anxiety and irritability. The majority of participants also reported experiencing some withdrawal symptoms after abruptly stopping daily or near-daily use.
Researchers validated five clusters of common withdrawal symptoms: headache, fatigue, dysphoric mood, difficulty concentrating, and flu-like symptoms. A stepwise approach can eliminate severe withdrawal symptoms by gradually reducing caffeine consumption.
A recent study found that stress affects men and women differently when it comes to nicotine addiction and relapse. Women experience greater emotional side effects, while men struggle with biological changes during abstinence. The study also revealed that cortisol levels play a crucial role in triggering cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
A study found that bupropion significantly reduced withdrawal symptoms and increased abstention rates from smoking. The medication also decreased negative mood in participants, which was more strongly related to relapse.
A study by Scott Coffey found that cocaine withdrawal symptoms are relatively mild and decrease steadily over time, with improvements in depression, anxiety, and energy levels.
Researchers have found surprising variation in nicotine withdrawal symptoms, with many experiencing intense spikes months after quitting. The study suggests that the duration or pattern of withdrawal symptoms is more difficult to overcome than the initial intensity.
A case study published in JAMA reports a patient experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms after stopping valerian supplements. The researchers emphasize the importance of asking patients about herbal product use and providing open-minded care to address potential side effects and interactions.
