Symptoms returning at 100+ days....?

Question

I’m at 104 days off the Percocet and this past week has been pretty rough.  I’ve been up at 5am again every morning with severe anxiety. Even my legs seem restless again and I have zero motivation.  Is it normal for this to be happening?  I can’t think of anything I’m doing different. I’m taking a multi vitamin, B complex and l-tyrosine 2x a day.  Feeling pretty discouraged today

the sides from the drug will stay with you for a while there will be good days and bad days to thats just how it works your mind wants a fix and will play mind games on you to try to get you to use pick up the phone call someone and pour your heart out this will make you feel better. When I quit benzos I had severe anxiety but I got busy doing things that keep my mind off myself and It worked for me plus I went to rehab meetings in the area I didn't want to go but I made myself go and It took some getting use to but I stayed drug free and Iam still drug free and I dont fell bad like I use to so hang in there it will get better.

i always say that i felt much worse at six months clean that at three months and it was because of the anxiety i was experiencing and that have built up inside myself and because i didn't know how to deal with life without the pills ( say stress , say anxiety, say fears... ) ,... maybe you have been building up some kind of anxiety, i don't know but i don't think what you are experiencing now is  uncommon, it can happen.... try not to get discouraged, pls... work on your frame of mind, positive thinking... maybe stop the ltyrosine for a couple of days and try some relaxing techniques,  hot baths with relaxing music, meditation, yoga, long walks... and if you still feel the anxiety building up, go to therapy and try the CBT ( cognitive behavioural therapy ) ... But never give up, ok ? :),
