This article examines the connection between opioid use disorder and seizures during opioid withdrawal, specifically focusing on a case series from North India. The use of opioids in India varies across different regions, with some areas being more affected than others. The article presents eight cases of individuals with opioid use disorder who experienced seizures after ceasing opioid use. These patients displayed symptoms such as loss of consciousness, jerky movements, and frothing from the mouth. The article investigates potential causes for these seizures and compares them to existing research. The study found that the occurrence of seizures during opioid withdrawal has increased in certain areas. The patients in the study were treated with a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, which alleviated withdrawal symptoms and prevented further seizure episodes. The article also explores potential causes for the seizures, such as the adulteration of opioids with other substances and neurodegenerative changes resulting from long-term inhalation of aluminum. The study emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment for seizures during opioid withdrawal. [Extracted from the article] |
