Also, in my previous reply, iamgollum I meant to add something to a problem you had early on in your recovery...the swallowing issue.
This is also something I have an issue with during recovery, especially in the first week. It's like, as soon as something solid hits my tongue, my throat closes up. I can usually sit and kind of force myself to relax and be able to take down a little food, but it's quite uncomfortable and one of my dreaded wd symptoms. I can usually smoke enough pot to get my appetite somewhat working during recovery, but once I can't swallow, it makes eating a horrid experience. This doesn't happen every single time I quit opiates, but it happens a lot. I've done some research on it, and it doesn't seem to be something common...so if you figure out what it is, please let me know. I think you may be onto something with the thinking that your body is only used to eating after its nice and relaxed from opiates, and being off of them causes the throat muscles to spaz out a bit. Might be exactly whats going on. Anyone else ever had a similar problem?
