Withdrawal: depends a bit on dose with more symptoms the more drug amount you normally take and.... pain, diarrhea, shakes, nausea, vomiting, and cravings. Lasts for a week tops except for the cravings and somewhat the pain (assuming there was an underlying pain condition, that pain will come back and a bit worse after stopping pain medication).
