    I was wondering if some of you could share some common and maybe some not so common symptoms of withdrawal? I've been feeling really weird these past few days.. Thanks

    The first couple of days for me were a bit odd too. Unable to sleep, terrible RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) which apparently is a sign of dopamine withdrawal. I'd go out and then feel very lonely when I got home, and a bit depressed.

    For me the most common symptoms are anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, depression, and mood swings.

    Can I use the term "side effects" instead of "withdrawal symptoms"? Chronic boredom, hatred, shattered attention span, weakness, stress and anxiety, antisocial tendencies and extreme self-centredness, tension in face (especially RHS mouth area), obnoxious thoughts, constant worry, failure in day-to-day activities...

    I could go on, since it's quite an addiction...

    I was wondering about the restless leg issues I've been having. Never really suffered from that before. I guess I have always been a skeptic of withdrawal symptoms. Pressure in my gums too. Been flossing a lot for that! All good,I guess?

    Feeling blah, mentally confused - like you don't know what you should be doing or why, mood swings, fatigue, depressive kind of thoughts, and many more. I definitely think that my mood has improved over the last few weeks, but slowly. Am at 23 days now but have been trying to quit for a while. Also I notice I have more hope the farther out I get.

    I feel like I'm in a strange unknown area and I'm not sure where to go; I know the easiest thing would be to go back to my comfort place but I know if I do that I'll only want to get out of it again. So I keep pressing on, but it's not comfortable.
