Protracted withdrawal from AP and ADs - Weakness in legs, paresthesia.

[tobymfh]

Hi,

 

I'm experiencing protracted withdrawal (5 months off) and the waves, although definitely further apart than the acute phase, are back again with vengeance. My most recent physical symptom is a strange weakness in my thighs just above my knees along with paresthesia on my upper back (between the shoulder blades) and spreading to my shoulders. Has anyone else experienced these physical symptoms in withdrawal? Could do with some hope to be honest, its so exhausting this experience and terrifying.

 

Thanks.

Hi @tobymfhsorry to hear you are experiencing the horrible waves again. I can relate. Just wanted to offer some reassurance that weakness in my thighs, just above my knee at the side, has been a consistent withdrawal symptom for me. Along with muscles twitching and tremors in the same area. No idea why this happens but I never experienced it before WD. I also have pins and needles/numbness all over, this is a relatively new symptom in the last couple of months. Not sure if you’ve tried magnesium baths or spray, I find that helps a little. Take care. X

Hey @tobymfh i have muscle weakness in my arms and legs. I also have pins and needles, tingling etc in my hands and feet. Very unsettling but i keep telling myself it is withdrawal and it will pass.x
