I know, yet another non-relevant post, which probably won't go as appreciated during these shilling times. We all know withdrawals are a thing and this is an anecdotal results of an experiment. Anyway yeah y'all weren't kidding. Went from taking two, three of XL's bars per day starting May and. Wow. The darkness is definitely more vivid. I fear whether I'll get a good night's sleep. So overwhelming. Taper, don't go cold turkey. Though somehow psychologically I'm getting a rush from the withdrawals, at least it's a different state of consciousness than zombie bartard, yet also departs from normal sobriety, right? But nah 2/5 would not recommend trying. I just wanna know if I have it within myself to take a week break or so.
Update: First night, fears confirmed, definitely not a full night's sleep. It dragged on longer than an American Spirit cigarette and it's not even 7:30 AM my time yet. My parents left the TV on loudly all night, was playing Pawn Stars with Cali hippies so that helped a bit to pass time. They've seem to got the most interesting items in the best condition maybe due to the good climate?
Update2: Fuck all this withdrawal, I've got such a headache it's like I'm coming down from a never ending trip. Popped a bar. Gonna try and catch up on sleep. So damn. A month in and it's this bad already. At least I can put it on my resume that I scratched the surface of bento w/d now.
It's a definite hump. You'll feel horrible without them for about 2 weeks and then after the thought of taking more will make you feel sick. Then about a week after that you'll be over it and back to square one.
That's assuming you don't have a seizure and die. Serious business.
