so lately i have had some weird shit going on with my body. i sweat constantly, even when im outside (its like ~20farenheit here these days). also i have these nasty twitches and body jolts. like all the time while im sleeping i will pop the fuck out of my bed for no reason. and today i had an itch on my leg as soon as i noticed it my legs jolted together really quickly- stuff like that happens all the time. my body will just start vibrating or shivering for no reason. both these things are pretty noticeable and embarrassing as they happen all the time. also my mind constantly feels foggy and i used to be a decent artist but now all i can think is like dark shit and my drawings all look pretty much the same, and when writing i constantly just completely space out and cant think of an easy word.

i have been drinking heavily every night (anywhere from 5-20 drinks) and drink during the day probably once or twice a week. i have been at that level for probably 2 months now. i used to smoke weed very very heavily for 2 years straight, never took a break until a few weeks ago. i have smoked probably 4 times in the last 3 weeks. cuz of that im never hungry. also in the past i was addicted to opiates on and off- mostly morph and oxy. however i havent noticed any PAWS symptoms lately. i have no medical conditions except for some mental ones.

so are these negative symptoms from drinking a lot? or from my body getting used to not having weed? is it possible i still have opiate PAWS and dont notice?

man since i dont know you I cant say for sure, but there is pretty much no denying that's from drinking far too much. If I was you I'd slow it down on the drinking man, because alcohol is really heavy-duty bad stuff for your body especially every single day, but im sure you know this.
 
yeah im well aware and im going to rehab this spring. but i just want to know if thats whats causing the majority of the symptoms
 
It sounds like you're experiencing fasciculations. This could be from anxiety, magnesium deficiency (possibly related to the drinking) or other factors.

Overall though, we can't do a comprehensive workup on you via the internet so if its concerning you then you should consult a medical professional.
 
Yup, been there man. Drinking everyday I had- constant sweating even when everyone else was freezing, being constantly hot also increased my anxiety, and I also got wicked twitches (legs, random muscles, eyes, and of course the hand shakes). Trust me, its entirely alcohol- try to decrease it and then go every other night and you'll see a huge difference. It's basically just your body reacting to withdrawals- GABA and CNS overexcitement. It's basically impossible to control unless you start taking another GABA agonist when ur not drinking (benzos) then you'll be double fucked once you're tolerance starts moving up on those (experience also). So yeah....either deal with it or stop drinking. I'd say ur prob much better off with pot if you need the head change but since u had a bad addiction with it before- eh, i dunno. Personally, I'd take a 5 nip drink over an ounce of headies anyday but we all have our preferences dont we.
