Dope sickness, or withdrawal symptoms, occur when a person dependent on opioids or other addictive substances suddenly reduces or stops their intake. The body becomes accustomed to the presence of these substances, leading to physical and psychological dependence. When the substance is absent, the body reacts negatively, resulting in symptoms like nausea, anxiety, and pain as it struggles to regain its natural balance. This withdrawal reflects the brain's adaptation to the drug and the disruption of neurotransmitter systems.
