Substance withdrawal syndrome

Substance withdrawal syndrome occurs when a person who has been regularly using a drug or substance suddenly reduces or stops its use. The body, which has adapted to the substance, reacts negatively, leading to physical and mental symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, sweating, nausea, tremors, and sometimes more severe effects like seizures. Withdrawal varies depending on the substance involved and the individual’s usage history. It is a sign that the body has become reliant on the substance, and managing withdrawal safely usually requires medical supervision to reduce discomfort and prevent complications.
