Lorcet is a legal narcotic drug available by prescription to treat pain. Lorcet is abused for the profound relaxation and intense euphoria it produces. Frequent and regular use is associated with tolerance, moderate physical dependence, and severe psychological dependence, which develops into addiction.

When those who are suffering from Lorcet addiction try to stop using the drug, the withdrawals may begin within 6 to 24 hours from discontinuation of use; however, this time frame can fluctuate with the degree of tolerance as well as the amount of the last consumed dose. One danger for those who try to quit using Lorcet on their own is that the tolerance for the drug typically decreases after a period of time. If this occurs and the user takes a dose comparable to their previous use, the user may experience an effect that is much greater than expected, potentially resulting in a dangerous overdose.

Lorcet can suppress the breathing reflex. Depending on drug interactions and numerous other factors, death from overdose due to oxygen deficiency can take an individual anywhere from several minutes to several hours. Lorcet overdoses can also occur because of interactions with other depressant drugs such as Alcohol or Benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax, Klonopin, etc).
