I am at month 3.5.
First two months were extreme anxiety, depression, brain fog and insomnia. Month 3 was the same symptoms just lesser. I definitely noticed the cognitive aspect more at this time... brain dog, difficulty concentrating and tension headaches. Now I am doing much much better, and find things more tolerable. I attribute my success to exercise, nutrition and abstinence of all substances. Most importantly my success comes from relaxing. As soon as you can relax and not worry about the symptoms you are feeling, the sooner you break the endless anxiety cycle. Easier said than done I admit. It takes practice, breathing, and acceptance that these are the symptoms you will be living with for some time. Key word I said was "living". Living your life and doing what makes you happy is crucial. After applying this strategy for a month+ things are getting better. I pray, breathe and accept before bed and pass out like a baby. A long day of exercise doesn't hurt either
