Hello all, I am about 95ish days off my opiate and 11 days off alcohol. I need to ask you all something...

I know I've heard of shadow hangovers, where you feel like you have a hangover even though you did not drink or such.

However, with all the cold medication I've been taking lately I was wondering if it interfered with my usual meds *most likely* but the only reason I'm bringing that up is because I'm wondering, has anyone ever felt like ... you lost your intelligence during your sleep then you got up, feeling like you were questioning everything you know, in the dark of your room, and it was like a pure horror?... I thought I was losing it earlier, my god, how scary... :|. Sorry if this is an inappropriate message.

Hang on, it'll get better the longer you stay clean & sober!
i strongly encourage you to seek professional medical advice!

Paulos, what were you seeing if anything in the dark - if you are able to describe it.

I have felt sluggish before in my last 90-some days and wondered what is going on. It seemed like I had rotten coordination. But I just chalked it up to not being as active as I should be and that it would take time.

Also experienced fear and guilt. But not while in bed. The sleep I am having is really great. It's just taking time for me to want to get into bed, maybe out of wanting to keep going with each day, overstepping myself or something.

Hope you are doing well, congrats on the stopping. My thing was alcohol.

I have had dreams sometimes that were so strange as to make me wonder where I was when I woke up. Not always waking up in terror, but waking up feeling like I wasn't 'all there'. A very unreal feeling and it was scary. Sometimes the dream images persist thru the day...

some OTC meds intereact with prescriptions...best call Dr and run it by them.

I hope you're right live, I do have a cold and all that's why I was taking the nighttime flu meds... urgh.
