3Or jonesing if you want to be less clinical. Although there is no real connotation of pain with jonesing- only need.– mikeYNov 4, 2013 at 21:01

I thought “the DTs” were specifically a symptom of alcohol abuse (trembling hands) and not of withdrawal in general. I could be wrong, though. Nov 4, 2013 at 22:16

Delirium tremens, while primarily associated with alcohol withdrawal, is not exclusive to that drug.– Andrew Leach ♦Nov 4, 2013 at 23:05
