Cold Turkey: A compendium of synonyms for opiate-withdrawal from around the world.

I think it would be fun to constitute a list of all words and phrases to describe withdrawal, foreign expressions ideally provided with literal translation.

Let's make a start; f.y.i.: I live in England.

Withdrawal
Cluck
Cold Turkey (or simply Turkey)
Rattle

And someone undergoing one of the above is said to be :

Sick
Junk-sick
Climbing the walls
Kicking the habit

I am sure there are a lot of really good descriptive phrases out there. Please enlighten us!
