I guess my only comment from my experience is the withdrawals never get easier and often get worse and can be life threatening from the literature and experiences people have posted to SR. In my 20's it was a hangover , 30's a long hangover and 40's a whole different world of misery. Nearing 50 its living hell and as a lot of folks do , I question why I ever bring this all back again. I am no doctor but I sure see one who knows the regime on dealing with withdrawal and she has my back when I am flat on my ***.
