I am still on 3.75 and will cut to zero this Thursday or so. I found that my last cut finally improved after about 3 weeks. I had the following: heavy chest (very uncomfortable), terrible anxiety (very physical anxiety) and it was like something I have never had before so this told me it is W/D. Also, nausea, heavy head and I have that today and I did not take Advil last night. I suggest 200 mg advil and it helps a lot of W/D in my opinion. I was very irritable and could not sit still and I was dropping a lot of things since my hands were not steady. Fatigue was also bad. Insomnia was a given. This too has improved and was very up and down. I have some dizziness now but I know it will not last.
Cashy, 17 days in early in the W/D. I seemed to have two waves of very bad feelings and this last one has has gotten much better from 3 to 4 weeks. I believe when I cut to zero I will probably have double the time to feel better, 6 weeks. So, I am looking at gutting it out that long at LEAST. If you look at old posts you will find 2 months is not uncommon. I think you are past the worst but that is just my opinion. Give the body some time. For agitation I listen to progressive muscle relaxation and just let the anxiety wash over and through me.
Hang in there bud.
Cheers
