Wow, ignore warnings of withdrawal symptoms at your peril!
Trying to separate general life stress and January blues from withdrawal induced anxiety etc.
I think the fact that I’m lying awake with the sweats for half the night despite feeling generally knackered suggests this isn’t normal, and to be fair those are commonly recognised side effects of coming off the drug, but I didn’t think I’d been on it long enough (4 months) to suffer this badly, considering I tapered off relatively gently (until I ran out, just before a weekend, so the tail end of the taper was more of a short plummet).
Anyone else had it similar? Just need to see it through? I suspect crash dieting to try and lose some weight whilst also trying to get back into training on the bike were also compounding factors…
