I’ve read too many reports of paws sufferers experiencing the debilitating insomnia of paws withdrawals even over one month into recovery. I’m currently a week away from 4 months which is a personal record and uncharted territory for the past 15 years. I have had a history of insomnia since childhood due to trauma which I’m starting to feel I self medicated with now. I’m withdrawing from heavy concentrate and vape cart usage and although I had some minor improvements around month 3, it feels like my sleep is near the early stages again. Basically sleep for 2-4 hours and then wake up and can’t sleep for several hours, then have rem rebound waking dream sleep for maybe an hour and can’t function in the day.
I’ve heard it gets better for some around 5-9 months but others say the worst symptoms start around 6-9 months. I won’t be able to continue with this sleep for longer than maybe another several months if I don’t see any meaningful improvement.
So far the cons severely outweigh the pros of quitting. Especially after 4 months of this garbage.
