quit 80 days a go. first 6 weeks were brutal fatigue, barely walk I was so tired. Now my fatigue is gone, but physical anxiety is bad. Feel shaky, body very tight, extreme iriitability. Always worse in morning, gets slightly better at night. Also have lots of tingling in face/head.
Anyone else still bad physically at 80 days?
Hey, thanks for the post. Yes, I felt still pretty bad at day 80. However, this was also when my PAWS started to lighten up a little bit. I do mean a little but I noticed it. Then I got another lift about a week ago. I'm currently at day 110. Sorry, I wrote 120 in the post above this but was confused. 4 months on the 3rd of June! To your tingling point, I still have some tingling mostly in my right hand but once in a while my arms too.
One thing I realized guys. Many including myself took detox meds, which are heavy. I noticed a major shift forward 90 days after I stopped taking THOSE, which was a week ago. I think any heavy medication will prolong or conflate people's experience with these issues. That isn't to say that medication doesn't have its place. I think that as far as "feeling better," not one's sobriety date, it may be wise to count days from the last serious medication (benzos, opiates, etc).
