Which of the following signs and symptoms would a patient withdrawing from a CNS depressant exhibit?

A. Labile mood, lack of coordination, fever, drowsiness: These symptoms are more consistent with intoxication from CNS depressants such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, or barbiturates, not withdrawal. Withdrawal usually presents with hyperexcitability rather than sedation. B. Excessive eating, constipation, headache: These symptoms are not typical of CNS depressant withdrawal. They may be linked to other conditions or certain medication side effects but do not reflect the hyperactive state of withdrawal. C. Nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, anxiety, tremors: These are hallmark symptoms of withdrawal from CNS depressants. The body becomes hyperactive as the depressant effect is removed, leading to autonomic hyperactivity, gastrointestinal upset, and heightened anxiety. D. Dilated pupils, tachycardia, elevated blood pressure, elation: These symptoms are more consistent with stimulant use or withdrawal. CNS depressant withdrawal causes agitation and tremors, but not euphoria or elation.
