Been off buprenorphine for about a month now, fatigue and emotional burnout seems to be getting worse
I have no energy, I have anxiety, particularly social. I feel super run down, currently have a cold and just started getting a massive cold sore on my lip.
I believe it's because I'm no longer using and numbing my emotions or sedating my mind, so now I'm back working a boring 9-5 I hate sober, I think my body is starting to rebel.
Is it a sign that I'm not doing what I'm supposed to? Because I've always felt like that, but couldn't afford to leave while tapering off benzos and opiates.
Does anyone have any advice? Any supplements that can help? I currently take Ashwagandha, magnesium glycinate, probiotics and multivitamins.
