Opioids Go Directly to PAWS, do not pass Acute

A couple months ago, I did 6 days of cold turkey which affectively got me through almost all of withdrawal.
I've been messing up my script equally badly since, with my 14 day script lasting either 8 or 9 days, so like 8-9 days on followed by 5-6 days of nothing (except maybe a little Lope).
But I still feel like flat, mildly depressed, chronically bored, difficulty sleeping etc. when I run out.
So could it be that these frequent 5-6 day breaks have got me managing to not become physically dependant again, but my dopamine receptors or whatever haven't recovered at all? Basically sending me into immediate PAWS when I stop using?

And anyone have advice for PAWS? I'm holiday/vacation right now, so got my prescription early. Meant to make it last, but took the last today meaning I now gotta go TWELVE DAYS with no opioids.
