Day 9, feel like garbage

Advice & Questions

Hi guys,

Currently on day 9. It’s been good so far, had a few days of feeling really elated, balanced and full of energy. But yesterday and today, I just feel exhausted. I’m eating okay, sleeping is getting better. Had at least 6 hours a night. But my legs feel like concrete, I’ve got various back and joint aches and my eyes are stinging. Also have really dry, irritable skin l. I’ve gone longer periods than this before, and have normally turned the corner by now. Anyone experienced similar crashes after a week or so?

My troubles started between day 13 and lasted thru day 18. Look up PAWS (Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome). It’s no joke.

Unfortunately it’s reoccurring for up to the first 2 years of recovery. Of course each individual is different.

Thank you, I’ll look into it. I’ll keep going, hopefully I’m young enough to get through it without recurring issues.
