Excessive sweating, restlessness, dilated pupils, agitation, goose bumps, tremor, decreased heart rate and blood pressure, nausea and vomiting, and abdominal cramps are symptoms of opioid withdrawal. Mental depression, anxiety, extreme fatigue, and hunger are symptoms of cocaine withdrawal. The client will have symptoms of withdrawal because this is common with hallucinogens.
