PAWS Nightmare
Hello dear comrades,
I am upandabout from New York. I stopped heroin on 2-3-2021. Had a supply of methadone and used less than a tea spoon a day to taper. My last dose was 8-2-2021.
The problem is the PAWS. Fatigue, can't sleep and those f'in restless legs at night.
Going back is not an option. I am over it, thru, I have done my share.
Has anyone been thru it and can advise me how to deal with this?

Hi upandabout, I had Paws for many months after I quit drinking. It wasn’t at all pleasant, but hang in there…Your body is healing…..however slowly, but healing.

Hi upandabout - well done on what you have achieved so far that's amazing - I can relate to the restless legs and lack of sleep - Horrible.
Vitamin B12 and 6 are supposed to help plus magnesium. Best of luck with recovery.
