Opiate Burn-Out
I wondered if anyone out there had heard of such a thing as opiate burn-out? My brother has been addicted for 12 years to opiates, the last 10 years dihydrocodeine. He has tried to kick many times but couldn't hack the withdrawal (which I witnessed and wouldn't wish on any one).
Anyway, it seems that now his dose is tumbling downwards and there a vry few withdrawal symptoms. Like all addicts he uses this news to take a little more next time, but the fact is it seems the withdrawal is getting less severe. is this something anyone has heard of? Can the body get to the point where it just doesn't react the same as before. Your comments welcome.
