Abstract
Biological (Testosterone and Oxytocin) Approach for the Impact of Naturalistic Cannabis use on Self-reported Opioid Withdrawal
Nader Charkhgard*, Shahram Naderi and Mohammad-Javad Morabbi
Testosterone and oxytocin, as two important hormones in the human
body that have multiple functions, affect the process of consumption and
symptoms of withdrawal syndrome. On the other hand, there are changes
in the use of other substances, for example, the effects of cannabis use on
these two hormones are completely contradictory to the effect of opioids on
these two. Self-medication of patients using drugs is a common phenomenon,
and here we examine the biological effects of this self-medication on drug
withdrawal and the effects of cannabis on relieving withdrawal symptoms
caused by the modulation of testosterone and oxytocin.
