I was on prescription oxy 80s, 20s, and 15s for about 7 months, taking heavy every day. My plug stopped selling so I had to take what I could get, and I found hydro 10s and took about 100 of them in a month and haven’t taken any since. It’s been over a month since I last took and I was feeling pretty much back to normal this last week, but these last two days feels like the physical withdrawal is coming back for some reason and I don’t understand why, I have drank alcohol smoked weed and taken mushrooms, idk if it’s because they release dopamine and my body’s confusing them with pills or what, can someone please help. The symptoms aren’t that bad, I’m still working, but I’m having a hard time sleeping and getting comfortable, and I started having cravings last night. Don’t plan on taking anymore tho, I just want to feel like myself again.
Brain recovery can take years. In my opinion, PAWS and withdrawal are all part of the same process: neurological return to homeostasis.
Do not underestimate the time required to recover from 7 months of consistent drug use. That’s a lot of time for a brain to be bathed in exogenous chemicals.
I was on a high dose of rx stimulants for 2.5 years and while I’m doing better, I’m still only about 50% back to normal after 13 months.
Know the timeline and be patient.
