Opioids affect the central nervous system and cause mental changes, euphoria, drowsiness, analgesia, constricted pupils, and depressed respirations.

Withdrawal causes stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, diaphoresis, hypertension, bone and muscle aches, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, cold flashes with goose bumps, yawning, dilated pupils, fear, paranoia, violence, and depersonalization.
