Hi all,
I'm new to the forum, but not new to the fight; 20 year user been trying to quit for 2 years. Usually I make it to around a month/month a half without pornography & masturbation and then I relapse. Up until that time, my withdrawal symptoms tend to be as follows:
Days 1-14 | Heavy anxiety, heavy brain fog, heavy fatigue during the day (particularly heavy in the morning), insomnia or at least very broken sleep pattern, unregenerate sleep, dry eyes, stomach upset in the mornings, joint pains
Days 15-30 | Light anxiety, light brain fog, light fatigue during the day (still heavy in the morning), sleep becomes a bit easier but still don't wake up feeling refreshed, stomach no longer upset, minor joint pains
Day 31-45 | intermittent and very light bouts of anxiety, very little fatigue during the day, but still heavy fatigue in the morning
Day 46> | unknown
To be honest, the worst withdrawal symptom is the morning fatigue which feels like a hangover. What have you guys experienced as far as withdrawal symptoms (particularly the morning fatigue/sickness part)? Please respond with incremental descriptions if at all possible.
