From what I could gather, the severity of Dilaudid withdrawal symptoms depends on the dosage and length of time the individual has been using the drug. Dilaudid withdrawal can peak in as little as 9 hours, but typically peaks in 14 to 21 hours after cessation of use. Symptoms typically resolve in 36 to 72 hours. Users taking high doses of Dilaudid over an extended period of time may experience painful withdrawal lasting up to two weeks with symptoms including constant shaking, cold sweats, diarrhea, vomiting, muscle pain, body cramps, and insomnia. The symptoms of Dilaudid withdrawal are extremely unpleasant, and can exacerbate other conditions. This is why it is always best to undergo Dilaudid withdrawal under the supervision of trained professionals at a long-term inpatient drug treatment and rehab facility.

Dilaudid withdrawal symptoms include but are not limited to:

Muscle pain
Goose bumps
Runny nose
Yawning
Dilated pupils
Restlessness
Watery eyes
Sweating
Chills
Irritability
Anxiety
Backaches
Joint pain
Weakness
Abdominal cramps
Insomnia
Nausea
Loss of appetite
Vomiting
Diarrhea
High blood pressure
Fast breathing
Rapid heart rate
