The invention relates to an application of Lorcaserin hydrochloride in preparation of a medicine for inhibiting opioid addiction and withdrawal syndrome. The Lorcaserin hydrochloride is approved to be a weight-reducing aid by the America Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2012. The Lorcaserin hydrochloride is a 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT2C receptor stimulant with high selectivity. The latest research of the invention finds that the Lorcaserin hydrochloride (0.5-1.0mg.kg<-1>) greatly reduces the naloxone-urged horizontal motion distance and speed of a morphine dependent mice and the withdrawal syndrome of the mice. It is found in the invention for the first time that the Lorcaserin hydrochloride can be applied clinically for rescuing and treating addiction and withdrawal syndrome generated by morphine and other opiates.
