Are these symptoms of withdraw or something else?

Hi All
11 Days clean!
I have some symptom questions. Standing up often produces light headedness.
Legs still hurt, especially my knees, but also general acheyness and cramps in muscles. Tonight I find myself feeling discouraged and wanting so bad to make this pain go away.
I am taking supplements, tyrosene, B, hot baths, walking about 10 minutes a day.
Help, please tell me this will get better. Or is it something I should have checked out?

Neurontin can cause dizziness and it is more addicting than you might realize.  Google  "Neurotin + withdrawal".  My doctor wanted to put me on this b/c it is safe and non-addicting.  Thank goodness I did my research.

Just a thought.

I low range blood pleasure, in the normal range, I am also still on Neurontin about 2300 mg per day, but if I even get off my schedule a  little I get horrible migraines. Last one lasted 3 days.
The water suggestion is a good one, I drink more now than I ever did but still only half of what I should, how do people drink all that water, it seem like you would have a glass in your hand all day.
Where can I get the nature calm?

I agree, it sounds like w/d. Add Natural Calm with calcium to your mix. It helps the muscles relax. A check up is a good idea but I would wait a week or two at least. Unless things really get bad. Walking a bit more may help too. Drink lots of water.

Sounds like w/d to me.  I'm wondering if you're taking anything else though, and the reason I'm asking is about the orthostatic hypotension (drop in blood pressure due to position change).

sounds like WDs to me but what were you taking? normally after 7 days you feel almost fine cept for depression and some minor Wd Symptons.  If you were taking methadone the Wds could last up to a month. if it was osmething else the WDs should be gone by now with most other narcotics that is
