It depends on the drug. However there is a general pattern. Intense craving followed by physical symptoms of withdrawal (which can be anything as mild as headache and irritability or as strong as seizures) and that is followed by various states of psychological withdrawal. That period usually includes bouts of anger and depression, rationalization (convincing oneself to use would be ok because of this or that) and paranoia. Any addiction can be beaten in thirty days.

First thing is that we should have clear idea about the drugs. Then only we can talk about the drug. Even the medicinal stuff also called drug. So, it is not clear which drugs do you want to withdraw.

For me it starts with increase thirst and sweating and then irritability and losing concentration. then I get emotional and I eat a lot. I'll feel nausious also. this is withdraw from pain pills. good luck. and every person is different when withdrawing and have different symptoms.
