6. Tolerance and physical dependence: Repeated use produces tolerance to the respiratory depressant, analgesic, euphoric, and sedative effects of morphine. However, tolerance usually does not develop to the pupil-constricting and constipating effects of the drug. Physical and psychological dependence readily occur with morphine and with some of the other agonists. Withdrawal produces a series of autonomic, motor, and psychological responses that incapacitate the individual and cause serious (almost unbearable) symptoms. However, it is very rare that the effects are so profound as to cause death. [Note: Detoxification of morphine-dependent individuals is usually accomplished through the oral administration of methadone buprenorphine, or clonidine.]
