Well i guess since i have been doing ok with the 3 mgs for a few days now i am going to try 2 mgs today, 1 in the am and 1 in the afternoon. I think i am suffering from PAWS and i think that is inevitable.. the withdrawal symptoms from the vics-the ones i remember the most-the fuzzy head and the tiredness-lethargy are not there, the depression and irritability are and i think i just have to deal with that separate now. i've started back with amino acids, just one, l-glutamine and tomorrow i will start on another-tyrosine i guess, it seems like that one will help the most with the symptoms i am having, the irritability and the rollercoaster emotions, wanting to cry off and on with no apparant reason. Anyone have any other ideas?
