WTF??? U ok?? Yes they did. At eleven months I am more balanced than I can remember at any time in my life. I do get a little edgy at times, but that's mostly related to too moch caffeine. Hope you're ok my friend!!!?? Umm should this thread even still be up?

what's up Jazz? You seem troubled.
I think if you're still fuzzy headed after 11 months, it may be PAWs - but it may be
any number of things....aren't you on new meds right now too ?
Did you ask the doc about it?

Post Accute Withdrawal Symptoms
P.A.W.S. Addiction is always there. Try to keep busy and think of other things. The busier you are, the better off you will be. If you have alot of time on your hands, you will think about using that much more. FIGHT for your sobriety. The first 15 months of sobriety are really tough. The brain is not back to normal yet. It takes almost 2 years for the brain to heal. Don't give up your clean time. One day at a time, and Just for today, don't pick up, and don't get high.

Damn Jazz, this place has been a ghost town lately so I haven't been around. Sounds like you needed someone to talk to...
I completely understand bro, times are pretty rough on this end as well....I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever be ok. It feels like something in my brain has shut off and it's hard to even crack a smile. I feel irritated and it takes very little to set me off. And I hate it for my son right now because I don't feel like I'm being the best dad right now. I don't feel like I'm doing any thing very well right now in life, just completely unhappy and unmotivated. I don't feel like working, cleaning...only thing that I really like to do right now is watch TV. I just hope something gives soon b/c I don't know how much more I can take like this.

Jazz and Snowman, after reading this post my heart goes out to you both. I do know this much, and that is that methadone, and heroin, and opiates are a terrible withdrawal. Most patients suffer for a while. They are irritated and agitated, and it really is awful. I heard Dr. Drew Pinsky talking about getting off of methadone and those type of drugs. He said it's really tough.
The good news is, that after 6-8 months, the patient starts feeling better. And within a year or two, your brain can heal and go back to normal.
So, HANG IN THERE PEOPLE.
It's better to struggle a bit now, than live the rest of your life as a drug addict.That is a full time job, with no pay, and no benefits.
For now, one day at a time, and know there is hope to feel normal again.
Give your brain a chance to heal.
Praying to my GOD for all of the struggling addicts.

Awhhhhh, thank you so much for that compliment
My heart goes out to you. My brother died after six years of being clean from heroin and methadone. He decided to get high and he died. Fight for your lives people. You can have a great life if you want it. Wishing you a healing. You would think that after 6 yrs a person would be out of the woods, but addiction is like a snake, laying low and always waiting to attack. Never let your guard down. Sending up prayers for all addicts who are struggling with addiction.

I've said this before....you've come too far to go backwards now.
Do what ever you have to do to get yourself together, mate. Start with seeing the Dr.
I know first hand how destructive alcohol can be.

Don't blame yourself Jazz. You didn't put the drugs in his body. He did, and even if you played a part in using with him, or copping it for him, it's still not your fault. Addiction is a disease, and you probably are sick with it too.
Don't look back, move forward. I have 5 yrs clean on May29th. My drug was vicodins, prescribed by my own doctor for me, because of broken bones that I had. Then I came down with the disease of addiction. Should I blame my doctor? I could. But, I won't. Cause I used the drug. He didn't put a gun to my head. I went every month faithfully to get those pills. I wanted them. Long after I didn't need them anymore. My doctor really didn't want to give them to me anymore, but I was very persuasive. He knew I was addicted, and he prescribed alot of them in large doses. I got straight when I was ready. Hang in there Jazz. Don't feel guilty. I'm very sorry about the loss of your brother, and your still grieving. I can honestly say I know how you feel.
Hang in there. Be strong, and the best thing you can do to honor your brother, is to live a clean life. Work on yourself, and know that your life is worth something. Again, I'm so sorry about your brother.
Live it

I'm sorry to hear that, Jazz. I've not had any PAWS symptoms, but I think it's because I weaned myself so sloooooooooowly off of my Suboxone that my body started detoxing a little bit at a time for a year or more.
Today, I'm happy to say that I truly understand what "feeling normal" is like. Whew! It's taken awhile for that one to become a reality.
