	Narcotic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term narcotic, derived from the Greek word narkotikos, meaning "benumbing or deadening," originally referred to a variety of substances that induced sleep (such state is narcosis).
		Aside from their clinical use in the treatment of pain, cough suppression and acute diarrhea, narcotics produce a general sense of well-being known as euphoria by reducing tension, anxiety, and aggression.
		Narcotic use is associated with a variety of effects including drowsiness, itching, sleeplessness, inability to concentrate, apathy, lessened physical activity, constriction of the pupils, dilation of the subcutaneous blood vessels causing flushing of the face and neck, constipation, nausea and vomiting and, most significantly, respiratory depression.

	Drug Policy Alliance: Narcotic Blockade
		With continued use of narcotics, however, the addict finds it progressively more difficult to achieve euphoria, because a chronic exposure to narcotic drug induces a state of tolerance that diminishes the euphoric response.
		The essential condition for establishing a narcotic blockade without producing euphoria or other disabling effects is that the dose of methadone always be small in relation to the tolerance of the patient.
		A considerable degree of resistance to the narcotic and euphoric action can be established within 3 to 6 weeks, but tolerances to the autonomic effects (constipation, slowness in starting the urinary stream, reduction in libido and potency, perspiration) develop more slowly.
