Hello My friend Welcome to recovery
In my opinion thats part of our recovery, so that we never forget what its like
Thank you for posting so I can remember.
Listen to your Doctor......Peace Love
Well I really was hoping this would be a place to kind of talk about PAWS but it seems like I may be the only person who has a hard time coping with it
No 2ndTime you are not the only one that has a hard time coping with PAWS. I too have had similar problems after quiting. One thing that I have found that works for me is coconut water, it has properties that have a calming effect and it helps with stomach problems. You are not alone so talk to your doctor about coconut water it may help you as it does me.---Rick
when did the symptoms peak for you I have read that they peak between 3 to 6 months and begin to fade I think I may be peaking right now for the first time since the acute stage I am having hot flashes most of my symptoms are physical mostly just an overall tense feeling
also how can I tell if it PAWS or just anxiety? I mean I was on lortab for a while then went on vacation and forgot my perscription I went for almost 2 weeks with no pills and no withdrawal symptoms and then within a month when my perscription ran out I started withdrawal I just hope I'm not like this forever
Come on people I thought this was a place for support and stuff like that I really would enjoy having someone to share what I'm going through with I'm sure it would make it easier on both of us
i don't know about your symptoms but i can tell you that at 6 months i was suffering with anxiety mostly... at first i also thought of PAWS but after starting therapy and when my anxiety was under control, i thinknow that what i had was acute anxiety. I didn't know how to deal with anxiety and life's problems without the pills so it went wild
