Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Byron's headache that goes away after drinking coffee suggests that he is experiencing withdrawal symptoms, which is a common sign of physical dependency. Tolerance symptoms refer to needing increased amounts of a substance to achieve the same effects, psychological dependency is a strong desire or urge to use a substance, and contextual cravings refer to cues or triggers in the environment that increase the desire to use a substance. None of these are as applicable to Byron's situation as withdrawal symptoms.
