So was IV heroin for a few years then suboxone 20mg for 8 years. Quit the suboxone about 13 months ago. Did not feel an ounce of joy for probably around 9 months. Didn’t have too much anxiety during that time that I remember. Now I feel like as soon as my depression stopped my anxiety began. Like it’s like a physical anxiety. Like for example one day something can stress me out and it doesn’t bother me. The same thing can happen a few weeks later and I’m having a panic attack over it. It’s like I have no control over my body. It’s annoying with work because I’m a store manager and there’s plenty of stress. I used to handle it so well on subs. Really my only complaint these days is anxiety waves. Could it just be PAWS? Am I just a panicky person now? It sucks. Some days I’ll be so amped up from being anxious I’ll wake up out of my sleep and be paranoid like the tv will fall off the wall, or the stove is actually on even though it’s not and worried the house will burn down. Most days I’m completely fine. But I get these anxiety waves
