There's literally one way to get through it. You have to move!! Walk, run, gym, just physical work. I've been through withdrawal more than I can count and the times I was forced to work (labor intensive) paws ended very quickly. When I had off time and laid around, it literally didn't end. If you exercise, you WILL get out of paws. The energy does come back.
Thank u brother this is motivating to hear !!!
Sometimes you got to snap out of it and move!!
@Boofing Pressies Like Joe Walsh said, 'you may feel like your life may not be getting better but, at least it's not getting any worse!'
This comment is very encouraging. I have started going thru PAWS & the fatigue/brain fog sucks almost as bad as the lack of motivation and apathy.
I haven't been pushing myself to do things as much bc of physical/mental symptoms.
I hope it ends someday but I am only 4 months in getting off methadone. Cold turkey. I've been through the most rough of the withdrawal where I did not sleep, could not eat, and mental health declined for a bit. Those things are thankfully better now. Hopefully they will continue to get that way. I still have a lot of problem with pins and needles in my legs/feet which I'm told comes from PAWS. Temperature irregularity too. I'd love for this to be over.
went for a jog right after reading this, 5 months clean from methadone but still feeling like crap
I am 33 days clean. I am working a program and I have a great sponsor. Ryan got me through so many hard times. Chronic relapses, suicidal thoughts, complete rock bottom. You will be forever loved my friend. You touched so many lives.
Idiot Angel did u feel fatigue like no spirit in body stomach cramps and feet sweating in ur withdrawal please answer I m 87 days sober
I never want to forget how awful my PAW symptoms are because I have to use this experience as motivation to never have to go through it again.
Katy Wright Hi Katy , please read the comment I just posted above . If you are still dealing with PAWS it might be a way out . And affordably . TY
How long did they last?
Same mine lasted 10 months before i started feeling my self again the anxiety was intense 2 years sober now i feel myself for the first time in 15 years.

Oh, no! So sad. But here he lives on offering help still. He has done some good work in his life. RIP Ryan and love to his family.
@@andrewwyatt7184 bill gate get him
The doctors in the UK don’t ever mention PAWS! It should be made clear to recovering addicts, I thought I was going mad when I first started experiencing the symptoms.. after a lot of googling and researching I finally found out about it
Gone but never forgotten. R.I.P, Ryan 🙏🏽
dan alex 77 Ryan has helped me a lot during my recovery from Oxy and other opiates. Tragic that he died so young, but he can still help many people with his videos 🙏🏽
What happened to him?
I'd like to know what happened too..
@@Edelwiess1066 I think he died of a blood dissorder from some of the comments on here
RIP bro u was a good soul x
Man. The Paws is brutal. The 5 days of physical withdrawal is a picnic compared to the full on anxiety and misery that comes after. The cravings and restlessness are so intense that I feel like either using or topping myself. I've always suffered with depression so for me it's just magnified when I come of heroin.
i hope you have conquered?
How long did it last I’m at 5 months and hate these paws
I just got 6 months clean after detoxing from methadone, oxycodone, klonopin, and phentermine. I am in PAWS now. Went through it a couple of times since being sober. It is scary. You feel like shit physically mentally and emotionally. But it does go away. I feel the same things that triggered my addiction triggers the PAWS. Isolating, change, stress, but once you recognize what's happening and that it is temporary it's not as scary. It does make it tough to get through the day sometimes. I still get the fog too. It comes and goes. Stay around people who understand and reach out. You are not alone...:)
Iam coming off 8mg of suboxone cold turkey for about 5 years. Its only been a week, and the physical symptoms are mostly gone, but this PAWS is killing me. I cant sleep, and really want to use. any advice?
MrMagee78
Paws can last up to five years. Scary I know. I had no idea my self. But it comes and goes. I find that exercise, supplements, sleep, eating healthy, drinking water and meditation really help. It takes time for the body to heal.. I'm going to be 2 years sober this August and still can't sleep like I used to. Melatonin, Valerian root, lavender oil, and music helps. I have to still take Seraquil and hydroxyzine to sleep but it's getting better. Also, don't over do it. If you get tired let your body rest. It can be a rollercoaster ride at first but that's normal. Just hang in there and don't give up..and when you get down reach out and stay around other people in recovery to help you though it. Very important. You have to have a sober community. I work at a rehab and that's what helps me the most. It's my other family and I couldn't do it without them. ❤ Good luck!!
5 years?! I cant feel like this for five years is it every day for five years ,or on and off?
MrMagee78
Everyone is different.. it can last up to 5 yrs, but it comes and goes. It can be mild or severe. But I believe that the more you take care of your body & soul the better you're going to feel. Everything starts in the mind..then the body follows. Spend time outside and in nature. Laugh. Don't take life too seriously. One day at a time. Fear= anxiety. sadness= depression. You can do this!! (:
tyvm for your comment ;p
I'm sorry to hear about Ryan's passing, god bless.
I just happened upon this and I'm in tears this man has passed away. This seems like such an amazing channel. Is anyone keeping it up or did everyone move to a different channel?
He's just resting now. Soon, he'll hear his name, and wake up!
Thank you man for all your wonderful help! God bless you and to my brothers and sisters trying to kick this hellish drug stay strong and soon it will be all worth it, I have 4 months clean first time I've been sober in years! It is possible and the withdraws are horrible but think of the pain as a right of passage. One love guy, I love you all :)
right at 4 mos. now. been a struggle! i know now, that "paws" is my "re-schooling" in MERCY! the pain of withdrawal subsides when.. you reach back and grab the hand of another soul that is hurting worse than you ! if you don't believe that, try it!
who ever you are, where ever you are.... YOU CAN DO THIS! It's a decision!
it's a yes or no!
I'm going through this at 3 and a half months. What is really pissing me off is not getting good sleep. I feel a bit crappy most of the time but some days I feel great. I'll tell you what I've noticed that does help. After I have done a few hours of walking I feel more relaxed and can feel the endorphins. I've spent hundreds on health supplements which hasn't performed any miracles.
Same here. Sleep is horrible still
Thank you man,PAWS is a living hell thank you again for your help,you guys a GODSEND!
Rocked did u feel fatigue like no spirit in body and stomach cramps and feet sweating in ur wiithdrawals please ans i m 87 days sober
the thing I have is low energy and lack of motivation to do anything. :/ I'm 10 days clean from h. So I know it's really early. and I know it will get better. just trying to stay strong for everyone around me that wants me to get clean. I want this so bad for myself.
How are you getting in now Derek?
R S Was thinking that same thing. Sad really 😢
wow that is AWESOME BRO!! good for you!!! yes it is still early on, your not gonna feel great for a WHILE! just being honest! BUT listen to me! drink TONS AND TONS OF WATER! eat alot!! food helps the body and brain recover alot and i know it seems impossibe to you now!! BUT AS SOON AS YOU CAN! start working out, TRUST ME WITH THIS BRO, start out slowly, a little work out each day and stick to it and gradually do it longer and more intense, its going to help your brain recover from the opiates so much!! i never believes it until last time i got clean i did it and it changed my life!
@@LanceLouis7008 that.nk u for encouraging word that there is light under the tunnel
I have PAWS. 5 months off prescribed opiates now. Can't sleep, no energy and arm burns cold. Brain Dr said 1 -2 years. I am alone, it is very hard but I am determined
Your not alone.. I see your comment was 2 weeks ago. I pray you are staying strong
@@nicktsalonis8517 thank you Nicholas. progress is slow but I am determined. Thank you for your kind response it helps
I am alone too. Agoraphobic/PTSD/severe depression and anxiety preexisting to degenerative disc disease which has left me with legitimate severe pain. Along with my psychiatric meds I have been on oxy and Norco for a long time. I chose to ween off my pain pills on my own. Only my therapist knows. I am determined too although my back despite surgery hurts so bad. I believe I'm in paws this second, for days I'm so cold can't sleep and omg my stomach it doesn't stop. My gp of 20 years told me 4 months ago that he could no longer prescribe after that visit. I had 4 months to figure it out. I refuse and cannot go to a pain clinic, I'll be stressed to death. It's not worth signing my life on their contract......I liken it to parole. I'm 45 for gods sake and haven't been in trouble in my life. It's really hard to be dual diagnosed, I know quitting opiates is the right thing and I'll be damned if I let it drive me crazier. God bless Ryan for these videos they are like meetings for the socially challenged. I wonder if he really knew how many he helped before he passed. God rest Ryan's soul in heaven and be forever with his young family! Hang in there know you're not alone in suffering for the greater good.
@@brandyblackd5406 I did not know this young man passed away. That breaks my heart
He had a blood clot from what I understand. I hope your symptoms are getting better.
I've got just 3 weeks under my belt after 12 years of my pain meds. The PAWs are killer... a day feels like a week.
I hope you made it through 🖤
When did u start to feel normal and more energy?? I'm on day 29
Im 2 months sober from 5 years daily use of weed and I still have these symptoms. I feel numb and foggy and I can barely communicate and look people in the eye. Even with people I’ve known my whole life. It really sucks, I never used to be like this. I was happy and energetic. I quit to get rid of these symptoms but they persist. I’m exercising every day, meditating, staying positive. I feel like I fucked myself and I’m permanently stuck like this. I want my personality back and my inner child back. I wish I never chose to smoke weed.
I am going thru same thing except what I detoxed off was methadone, cold turkey, after over 13 years.
What you've said, is EXACTLY how I feel. I have a life, yes but feel like a person I don't know anymore. I have no motivation/energy, etc etc. It is very discouraging to have to go through this stuff. I just want my life back. Focus, determination. Not the apathy I feel now. It sucks. For all intents and purposes it's said that things get better. That our minds/bodies are repairing themselves after being on these substances for years.
I hope it gets better for you, you are not alone in how you feel.
Are you okay now..

Damn it's almost hard to watch his videos now knowing that he isn't here with us anymore. You can see he was totally ready to devote his whole life to helping ppl like us. Not saying that's the only reason that his death is sad but the reality of this whole addiction thing is that "we" (as addicts) are still fighting an uphill battle as far as the stigma of an addict is concerned.. we can't afford to be losing any of the few that are clean but still have our backs and want to help us. Most ppl feel we should all just be eradicated. "Just line em all up and shoot em, problem solved" are things I've heard different ppl say on different occasions and as bad as that sounds some ppl actually say worse. Which is why we have to have eachothers backs because not too many others care too. Anyway.. R.I.P to this young man and in the mean time like I said we've gotta have eachothers backs cuz we really are all we got. Everyone struggling with addiction no matter it be you or a loved one. I wish you the best of luck and hope you get thru it. I'm currently goin thru the same thing.. I've considered the vivitrol shot but some of the possible side effects of that scared me away from it. But at this point I'm willing to try anything. Does anyone have or know someone that has experience with vivitrol that can possibly put my mind at ease a bit? Any little bit of info will help. And again everyone in the mean time good luck. I love all of you
Hi, I know this is an old comment and even older video, but if I may ask, what happened to this guy? That is terribly sad that he is not here....
@@technicolorrose5549 I just know he passed. However tho all I got on it was from the comment section as well so I'm not sure of any details behind it
@@JustAguyFromJersey he had a blood clot condition that developed more aggressively at some point during his mid 30s. Almost died from it 3 times, he made another video showing his commitment to all of us then died 16 days later.
Exercise and weightlifting have been crucial to my recovery. I'm almost 3 months off sub. Yes I still have cravings and they're a bitch. I've almost given in to calling a buddy, but have continued to refrain. Therapy helps as well.
I hope u never did
@@courtneycoley8487 I didn’t. Still good. Actually a therapist for a detox program now.

RIP brother
RIP Ryan. Thank you
How did he pass?
@@aphysique heart related or something. I remember reading his go fund me a year ago when it happened. Nothing due to opiates or anything
I have 22 days clean from Pain Pills.I am still very restless(mostly in my legs).Still not getting much sleep.Is the normal?
This happens every time I get clean.Thanks.
yeah I feel ya, been almost a month here and my legs are still heavy, restless, weak and still unmotivated but I think it it depends what time of year , if you exercise, drinkin enough water, vitamins. electrolytes, etc and everybodys body is different
U clean 4 yr's l8r
What mG where u taken & how long was it
I am 2 months and 16 days alcohol free... first month I felt optimistic second month not so much BUT now I am awful it's scary I have anxiety anyway hence the reason I stopped drinking I feel similar anxiety as after a binge
I'm so sick of feeling so anxious it's terrifying
I am so scared this is now my normal state :( which defies the point of quitting alcohol

Ok thanks for the information but Ryan you truly you are God sent man thanks
Too bad he died:(
Thank you you are still helping people you helped me❤
I been clean for a week and it felt like I couldn't be happy. I dropped some acid and it reset my brain and i feel great now.
I’m in search of a long distance sponsor I’m 2 weeks sober from fent and have no desire to turn back but feeling so alone with no one to relate to my struggles is adding to daily difficulties. 29 year old male ! Help! God bless
He passed about a yr ago
I was clean for 2 weeks i felt great i got sick was then placed in the hospital for 1 week for an unforseen illness got pumped with pain med for the whole week every 4 hours went through another round of withdrawals which was 2x harder and this time i feel like shit i am 8 days clean i feel like running back to the emergency room for pain meds omg
Can this happen with nicotine withdrawal? I’d assume yes because it’s a stimulant and a dopamine agonist.
It will cause tiredness then anxiety, but will get better quick
hell yea and you have weird dreams
I was only on 2mg clonazepam (benzo) daily for 1.5 years, got off in may 2017 last year but still going through brain fog/ breathing problems/ gut disturbances/ panic disorder and in a constant fight flight mode with hypervigilance everywhere I go/ noise and light sensitivity/ exrreme mood swings and irritability leaving me suicidal/ extremely numb and apathetic towards other peoples feelings and life situations (this is probably one of worst symptoms)/ anger outbursts/ brain wont stop with thoughts/ brain zaps every now and then/ low fatigue and low energy. Anyone else been on alcohol/ drugs for a short-ish period like me and still suffering from paws after more then a year? Would love feedback xx keep going everybody xx
Hey buddy, you're in a whole different level of hell, I know what you mean. The problem is that you were on a pretty moderate dose of a pretty strong benzodiazepine for a pretty long time. I don't think you're having PAWS, I think you're probably still in straight up benzodiazepine withdrawal. It can take way longer than opiates and it's much more severe. It can be dangerous as well, it's horrible, I'm sorry you're dealing with it. You may want to consider getting medical help with a taper plan to come off of that.
Oh, nevermind, I just read your comment again, you got off last year? Yeah that makes sense, it's crazy how horrible benzos are, I'm glad you've made it this long, it will get better, and there are things you can do in the mean time for the symptoms.
Thank you so much for your feedback. Just found out i have a co-morbid histamine intolerance so a lot of the neurological stuff is probably due to that too!
I've also experienced shortness of breath and digestion disturbances man, that's crazy. I thought this wasn't PAWS
jessica aus On Klonopin for over 10 years, up to 3 mg day. I still have effects after nearly three years of PAWS. Feel 80% good, but tremors, anxiety still overwhelm me. My mind is so much better.
Straight fatigue !
M Hurst how you doing ?
Horrible, especially when you have to go to work
Shit first time seeing your videos and I find out you passed away about 5 years ago?
RIP RYAN. The good ones always leave too soon. Sad to hear. He looked like a great human being.
passion flower extract! it really helps a lot
helps with paws?
Interesting!
It does help how much do you take. I take one pills twice a day.
@@simonewashington3429 where am I able to find passion flower in tablets?
This is excellent information. Have you seen Dr KJ Foster's take on PAWS? It's also great.
Exercise helps. Thanks for the note to just do more of it, even when I feel like a slug. I just ordered some L-Phenylalanine ( an amino acid that gave me some energy.) The biggest problem is anhedonia. It all seems to come in waves. Sometimes I feel good but then I go days of feeling really depressed and like I can't care about anything. Dry sauna also really helps me with endorphins, but I am away visiting family and can't get to one for weeks and PAWS hit me pretty hard.
How are you?
OK. this is a roller coaster a times. You?
@@catherinewylie6959 A rollercoaster for sure. I've had some good days, then I had a glass of wine and then felt it again...no more wine until I'm through this.
That apathy and just not giving a shit...really sucks. Bad. I'm so over it.
There are good times but then BAM...right back to the PAWS again. I wish there was something to help treat this. I know excercise & certain supplements, I take vitamins, I havent been excercising like I should because muscle pain is getting to me. Joint pain as well. Ugh.
Maybe it'll get better...sure hope so
Thanks for the video. One month totally clean. I used a slow taper method to get off of subs to the point I put one strip diluted in alcohol/water and then microwaved the alcohol off. What was left was about 30ml and then I just used one drop/day. Then after 2 weeks of that I just jumped off. Going through some PAWS now....low energy, depression, incessant yawning, etc. The yawning is the worst to where tears are rolling down my face. I also have cravings but those are getting less and less. I refuse to take suboxone ever again. It was causing long-term chronic pain. It is good to know that what I am going through is normal post-subs.
Starry Bear I hope u can help me. Im on 9 days clean off a oxy habit no more than 40 mgs a day lasted 7 yrs. Paws are killing me. I am sure in long run methadone or subs would be HELL. I am also 4 months pregnant and dr gave me ok to detox with clonidine,immodium,supplements etc. I do not want my baby to wd off subs. If I try to meetings and keep my head up am I dodging a bullet by saying no to Subs?
Congratulations on 9 days clean. I think you are past the worst of immediate withdrawal symptoms. Paws are still hard to go through, but I can tell you that now I am 1.5 months post subs, that it is getting much, much better. Paws is different for everyone. But if you continue on your path, the symptoms will get better.
I think you should do thorough research on: PAWS, Suboxone, and bupenorphine. Research all of the side-effects of the medications and the symptoms of PAWS, duration, etc. You also need to weigh the pros and cons of your situation. Of course, the better of the choices is to keep going as you are doing because that will be better for baby. It would be more ideal to be free of any narcotic than to be on one. But again, do your research, speak to your doctor about it. I would ONLY consider going on subs or bupenorphine IF you find that you cannot take the withdrawal sx, or you are considering going back on oxy's. I can say these paws symptoms will not last forever. Right now do what is best for the baby, and I implore you to talk more with your doctor before making any decisions. Wishing you the best!!
@@milliefusion7340 I know this is old but glad I came across this comment.
I am 4 months off of methadone, quit cold turkey, was on for over a decade. Before that was on pain pills for chronic conditions for 7 yrs which I ended up addicted To.. then got to the methadone clinic for 13.5 years.
I have considered getting on Suboxone as I am already tired of the PAWS, trying to be patient but you know how it goes.
I hear good and bad things about Suboxone. Just as any meds. I don't really want to trade one thing for another. And don't know what to do.
How are you doing now?
6 months off 7 yrs methadone.....paws has crippled me...drs act like I’m making it up....it’s like I was great for like 2 months and one day it’s like I woke up mentally ill.....2 months of pure hell...it’s like I can’t handle basic functions ..I feel mentally incapacitated...everyone acts like I’m looking for an excuse to use...I will die before I ever use again...but I won’t lie I’d rather be physically ill then feel like this..it’s like life is pointless
Jimmy did u feel fatigue like no spirit in body stomach cramps and feet sweating in ur withdrawal please answer I m 87 days. sober

stop asking ya it takes time...u taking any supplements? Vitamins, fish oil, etc
I'm almost 10 months clean from 11 years of suboxone. I don't really suffer the mental withdrawal but since about 5 months ago I've been so physically sick. Mostly severe stomach problems and Nausea. Just had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and results were negative. My doctor can only assume it's paws. I'm strong in my recovery but these physical symptoms are hard. I only pray it gets better. Thanks for reminding me about diet and exercise.

Getting off subs is not easy i wish they were more honest about it.
how r u today
I honestly do not understand the asking the doctor if you can exercise after 4 months clean? Of course you can!!
I was at six months and still felt freshly sick, it was horrible.
Me too, I just went through it. I’m six months clean and the past three days felt like withdrawals I didn’t know wtf was going on. I feel much better today though thank God. My wife even thought I was using again I had to take a drug test to show her I was still clean

For some reason, even 5 or 6 months after being clean, I would still wake up feeling my heart racing & have cold sweats throughout the day. Every thing I looked up about PAWS was mainly about the mental aspect of withdraw, so I thought something may have been wrong with me. Have you heard of anyone else going through that?
is this still happening to you?
i quit methadone and went thru 5 years of 24/7 physical wd's that didnt go away the major shit went away like pukeing and muscle aches but i still had sweats and very intense edginess thats hard to describe. i had no depression or any of that mental stuff they talk about either. i just couldnt take it no more and its hard to describe the symptoms to my DR's they just kept saying its anxiety....but its NOT. so i recently went on suboxone and am accepting the fact that i may have to be on it for life unless i can figure out whats wrong with me i mean 5 yrs 24/7 physical PAWS WTF
update.......im still having the issue now the subs are just masking it a bit and making it more bearable but i feel the intense edge constantly but no fear or worry etc....clonodine is also helping it. i failed to mention that i also used to do speed, and bath salts, 7 years ago as well. im thinking i just fried something in my nervous system and im just gonna have to grin and bear it, its pretty rough though.
gristam s how have you been?
I'm feeling PAWS from Valium. And I only took it a few days a month. Sweating, anxiety, depressed and shaking.
I failed a drug test for Valium, even though it's been almost one month since I took any Valium.
Day 5 off 1 mg off methadone. Was at 150mg. Feel tired that I don’t even wanna get out of bed. Insomnia all night. Ugh
Paws is no joke! Rip Ryan
NIACIN B12 GOOD GOOD NUTRITION CAN HELP - STOP THE SUGAN AND JUNK FOOD
Last time I had PAWS, I had back pain for months. Now it's happening again and my whole body jerks when the back spasms happen. Also dropping things, tripping over things, horrible aim like with laying things down and turning off light switches. No energy ever. I have a perfect diet but no change. My heart beats really hard too. When I stand up I get headaches and dizziness. Mental fog is horrible. It's like i'm half asleep all the time. I'm only at one month off so I expect this to keep going for many more months as it's going now.
I have been randomly falling down. Over nothing! I just fell. Probably due to going cold turkey in January 2019 from Effexor and the monster, Klonopin. I was completely unable to do the most simple tasks. I live alone in a new city and the loneliness and detachment from everything and everyone was terrifying. I fell 7 times when I went outside to take my dog for a walk. Never again. I would rather be a miserable, anxiety ridden mess than to take Klonopin again. As smart as I thought I was about medication, I found out that I really wasn’t.
@@corvettedm1 how are you now? I had to taper klonopin for 2 years of hell to finally get off of it and since I quit completely, about 9 months, I’m still in anxious painful hell. What a trip.
@@sean13 Hi! I’m doing pretty well. It’s been two years and 5 months since my cold turkey stunt! You will be fine in a few months. I promise. I took half a klonopin last month though when my new puppy bit into an electrical cord. It was so scary my son insisted I take one. I was ok after just the little bit. Are you able to sleep?
I am in your shoes rn
It can last Years. Even permanent in some cases. I have it and i hope it's not permanent
Hi are you better now ?
Hey Ryan, are you healed now?
Ryan has passed away so sad. RIP Ryan
Thats where i messed up, i was 2 months clean and i just started feeling like i was getting mini withdrawals again so i thought it would be okay to grab one 20mg OC ( really low conpared to what i used to snort) and now im in it worse going through heroin withdrawal.... =( (i started snorting and smoking it not slaming)
Stephen Tumlin, How are you doing now? I hope that you are doing Better!♥️
i was prescribed methadone for many years, just this year went about 6 months clean, the longest i have ever been, but after all this time still did not really feel normal, could not function normally still after all this time. Very discouraging to the point where i said, fuk it....
I feel like Brad. I use to be a mature boxer . I am not lazy but . No energy
Same
How Are you doing now ?
@1:00 being tired, foggy, not feeling great could be directly attributed to not being healthy, poor food intake, caffeine side effects and on and on. Therefore what they are experiencing might not be PAWS.
I feel like 6 to 9 months is the longest for most people. Some less
Ryan why dont you answer my question . . I am on day 20 not taking sub . I feel like dead . I did do take blood test .
How are u feeling?. I recently quit subs too
Ryan has passed away from blood clots.
how can we write in to you?
Does marijuana helps with paws?
Yes
It also creates paws... from marijuana.
Helps the boredom
Luis Maia not even
No you get more paws after you quit
Drink water in excessive amounts
OMG R.I.P WHAT HAPPENED?? CAN ANYONE TELL ME???????????????
He had a blood disorder which caused blood clots, sadly it took his life :(
Hi i wanted to know i have multiple sclerosis and im a diabetic. I get saver migraines. I take 60mgs of morphine i want to stop taking them. But i am nervous because last week i tried not taking it for a day and i felt like i was gonna die. I even called 911. How can i go about getting off? But i would like is there anyway i could be pool ut to sleep and whatever the drs got to do so i dont suffer the withdrawal part?
You can do a medical detox but it's super expensive! However, you will still (more than likely) experience PAWS. it's just not fun...hit me up if you need anything
Ldn 4.5 mg
Rip
?
Dx health sadly, this man has passed.
I got the paws muchies and I’m blowing up like a balloon. :/ I’m sure it will even out. I’m eating vegan too and taking. Ashwaghanda.
Prototype 176708 Munchies is an understatement for me! It is a raw, gnawing hunger even if I have just eaten. It’s miserable!
Got paws from ssri
I think going to the doctor is not a good idea for some people especially those of us that were discontinued off of long-term prescribed benzodiazepine use I have been in pause for over a year now I still cannot feel any joy I have a multitude of symptoms and I’ve been to the doctor several times and all they wanna do is prescribe more meds that make everything 1 million times worse especially acathisia sometimes people do not need more medication they just need to white knuckle it and try to get through each and every day and pray to God that their brain and bodies heal
Take supplements.
Mild???
oh sure, the doctor is going to help. Doctors know next to nothing about health. Most won't even tell you 100% ban all sugar, dairy, toxic oils, wheat.
Some sugar is necessary for your diet, wheat has been a part of human diets for centuries a long with dairy and provide essential carbohydrates for energy and probiotics for digestion. Those doctors "who know nothing about health" are the same ones you're listening to now telling you wheat will kill you, dairy is deadly, eggs are terrible, etc. Every individual has different needs, I suggest you learn about yourself and your body and find nutritional needs that fit you. Just because your friend has a gluten allergy doesn't mean that gluten is poison and you should avoid it....
Trying to feed myself is like the hardest thing. I just have no desire for food or to get off the couch. Im only 8 weeks clean from sub. Sweating, Chills, Tachycardia, and suppression of appetite are still very...Strong for me.
Eridanus just reading this and curious where you are now with things?
Iam also coming off subs 8mg cold turkey using for 5 years. Its been a week , and the physical symptoms are mostly gone except PAWS. I cant sleep no matter what, apatite pretty much gone, and I really want to use badly. Any advice?
MrMagee78 stay strong! Im on 12 day off 8mg subutex that I used for years mixing it with H. Its getting better and better! Since the 3day that Ive been walking 10km everyday. It help a lot! Other thing is drink tons of alcaline Water, drink one glass of lemon Juice before eating, stay with someone that knows and loves you. Eat wealthy food as more biológic as you can! Supply yourself with magnesium and other nice suplements rich in vitamins and minerals. For the diarreia take one Imodium. Im still fighting against insonnia...I try to tire myself as much as can and I dont sleep during day time. Before go to sleep I take valeriana root and some muscular relax pills. This Method as been working for me and, after day 3 is been better and better everyday! Stay strong brother!
Thanks so much! yes its really the insomnia that is killing me no matter what I do nothing helps. I just have to let nature take its course I guess. Also my brain is very thirsty to use something, but I will fight it I have no choice. I will never go down that path of destruction again. Its a life I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Thanks again for your comment. and good luck to you as well! ;)
MrMagee78 yes insonnia is bitch...but I sleeped 7h today on my 13 day!
