Thanks for the kind words SoWeary, I made a promise to myself if I got out the other side, I would help anyone I could after people on here helped me so much. Yes I still felt awful at this point! My physical symptoms were mainly gone but I just had zero energy or motivation and I felt there was this fog over me. Like you, I just wanted to feel normal again! When I read up about withdrawal, all the educational sites said you’ll be ok within 7-10 days but that’s not what people on here have experienced so don’t worry you’re on the right track. I have a 6 year old and I struggled to do anything with him, it was my husband who done it all! Slowly it got better and day 18, I just felt the fog lift.
