Will tapering, as opposed to going cold turkey, reduce paws length or symptoms at all or worsen them?
This is great advice. Also you should write down the reasons your getting clean. Then place it somewhere you will see it multiple times a day. It really helps. Good luck and stay strong.
i just hit four weeks clean (almost five now) and last week outa no where i started having crazy vivid dreams about getting high and would wake up with my mouth watering and almost able to taste some dope... it wasnt like full blown WDs all over again but i was getting cold sweat and just felt uncomfortable... i cant do anything about it either or im spend a lil bit of time in regional... sooo i just had to suck it up and deal with it and after 4-5 days they went away completly... now if i could only get my sleep schudel back on track id be set lol....
anyways dont look to far down the road... just think about getting through today...
a great big "FUCK YES!!!" for over a month of being clean!! Right on and congrats to you! The regulating of my sleep schedule was the absolute hardest thing for me. Tried everything - and when it all came down, just letting it run it's course was what eventually allowed me to have a natural sleep schedule again. It's tough, sleepless nights bring far too many memories and temptations, but slow and sure your natural body rhythms will return to you
OP, the length & duration of PAWS depends on how long you've been using as well as the dosage you were on. IMHO, the longer you were taking your doc the worse PAWS can be. Keep in mind not everyone will go through these. A lot rides on if you had a crazy habit as opposed to a light user. Could you give us an indication of your habit & timeline?
Btw, tapering or cold turkey, again IMHO, make no difference in regard to PAWS, again it lies in the quantity you've been taking & the timeline.
