- A) Hyperreflexia is a common symptom of opioid withdrawal, as the nervous system reacts to the absence of the drug. Patients may experience increased reflex actions and muscle spasms due to the sudden change in opioid levels.
- B) Meiosis, or pupil constriction, is not typically a withdrawal symptom; it is more commonly associated with opioid use. During withdrawal, pupils are likely to dilate rather than constrict.
