Inpieces, thank you for your insight. Because I have never used, it's very hard for me to comprehend how it must feel to withdraw..which is why I always WAS so lenient on him. But I'm not sure if there is a difference between 'coming down' and 'withdrawing', again, because I've never experienced either. In my mind, (correct me if I'm wrong of course), withdrawing is when the addict feels the physical AND mental effects. And also in my mind, 'coming down' is the hour or two about eight hours after taking a pill...
This is hard to explain through text..but my ex would take a pill (or 3), and about eight hours later would get extremely violent for about two hours or so, and then it would pass. He wouldnt feel any physical withdrawal symptoms until a day or two had passed.

Of course, he never did tell me the complete truths about things so for all I know he didn't feel the withdrawals because he was indeed still taking more pills.
