How long did the anxiety/weepyiness last??

by Ga Guy, Jul 01, 2007 12:00AM
For those who have been through this...How long did this anxious feeling/weepyness last?  It's 6+ days and I'm still having moderate anxiety/weepyness. Are these two connected? I have a pin prickly feeling almost constantly, and feel as though I could cry at anything. I'm assuming they are part of the same symptom? Just wondering what the time frame was for some of the people who went through this?

hi... for me, it lasted about 2 weeks, but after about a week or so it started to get fewer and farther between...

so it's perfectly normal (al biet HARD,) and should start to get better real soon... really.

This is completely normal.... it lasts a different amount of time for everyone.. After addiction and Wd our brains are in a bit of shock.. They have been imbalanced for so long while taking pills that they stopped functioning normally.. they were not pruducing the things the needed to produce. They need time to get back to running normally again.. I started taking supplements b4 I stopped the pills to help this process along.. I can say that I have benefitted greatly from doing so..

I hope that this does not hold you down for long... read up on PAWS so you know what to expect if they hit as well.. sometimes being aware helps more than anything..
