Could this be PAWS?

Hey all,
I have been experiencing some very yucky feelings + symptoms lately and I’m wondering if it could be PAWS already…here is a quick background on me:

I abused opiates heavily for 18 mos..
11/01/11 started w/d
I took some pills on 11/08 and on 11/11 – NONE since.

So I’m unsure which day to count from – either the 1st which would put me at day 28  or the 11th which would put me at day 18.

Either way, last week was a much better week for me than this week. The past few days, I’ve started having the sweats again.  My Restless legs never went away fully to begin with but are much worse now.  And I have ZERO energy or motivation.  Even getting off the couch is such a task.  My legs are so weak.  Sleeping horribly.

So, my question is – since I had about a week of feeling well but now feel horrible again – is it PAWS?  THANKS so much.

Sorry noone answered I would have but I didn't have much pain or sweats.You could be depressed though but it could still easily be the withdrawal.I did not feel very good mentally and energy wise at day 28.I would give it a few more days.Hopefully someone will come on and give you a better answer.

Please, does anyone in recovery have any thoughts on why the sweats and bone pain would return?
