What drug causes a physical and psychological yearn?

Both alcohol and opiates (opium, heroin, morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, fentanyl, Suboxone, etc.) are physically addictive. As far as I know, they are the only drugs that are physically addictive. Amphetamines, methamphetamines and cocaine are extremely psychologically addictive, as well as chemically addictive, but not physically addictive. Ecstasy also has a fairly high potential for psychological and chemical addiction, but it is not as addictive as speed, meth, or coke. Hallucinogens (LSD, marijuana, salvia, peyote, mescaline) are neither chemically addictive nor physically addictive. They can be psychologically addictive, though.

Drugs that have the features of tolerance and withdrawal are considered?

They are considered to be physically addictive (as opposed to chemically addictive or psychologically addictive).Note that drugs that are physically addictive (alcohol and opiates) are also extremely chemically and psychologically addictive as well. But physical addiction trumps those two. Physical addiction means you get violently ill, and can even die, if you suddenly stop taking the drug. That is not true of chemical and psychological addiction.

What happens to someone who stops drugs when they are addicted to them?

This is a tough answer. The first thing to consider would be whether the drug are physically addictive or psychologically addictive. If they are only psychologically addictive, they will most commonly experience agitation and "fiending" (longing for the drugs). If it's physically addictive, the user may experience a wide range of things. Opiates are the most used physically addictive drugs, and many who quit cold turkey get cold sweats, fevers, body aches and other flu-like symptoms. It can actually be quite danergous to suddenly stop doing physically addictive drugs after heavy use.


Is cocain an opiate?

No, cocaïne an alkaloid derived from the leaves of the coca plant is a powerful and highly addictive stimulant of the nervous system is not an opiate. Opiates are constituents derived from the latex sap of poppies named papaver somniferum, because their effect is sedative. The principal active constituent of opium is morphine, a powerful pain killer and strongly addictive; Codeine, a weaker sedative and pain killer is useful for soothing cough. The some 25 other substances present in opium do not have the sedative effect and are not considered as opiates, but substances synthesised from opium extracts which are sedative and addictive but have little effect on the human central nervous system are also classified as opiates.
