Physical dependence is a state of adaption that is manifested by a withdrawal syndrome that can be produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, decreasing blood level of the drug, and/or administration of an antagonist. Signs and symptoms (body aches, diarrhea, loss of appetite, goose bumps, shivering, sweating, insomnia, irritability, runny nose, sneezing, tachycardia, fever) are seen only when drugs are stopped or the dose is markedly decreased. Addiction is characterized by impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving. Addiction implies psychological dependence (p. 42): hepatotoxicity is a likely adverse effect to occur in clients taking chronic and/or large doses of acetaminophen.
