Congrats on 7 days!! You made it past H3LL week, now on to heck week, lol.
I have recently passed the 1 month mark. It took me a minute to stop feeling like hot garbage. My anxiety was high, I couldn't sleep, my chest felt like the time I had pneumonia, and everything gave me heartburn.
I went cold turkey. For me, week 1 it was constant misery starting about Day 3. Week 2 was still miserable, with periods of better. Week 3 was better, with periods of less better. It was about Week 4ish that I could say I felt consistently good. I still have cravings, but my sense of smell feels like a superpower now, and food tastes better.
It felt like an eternity at the time, but I got through the awful spots by coming to this site. Posting, reading, commiserating. Ice water has been helpful, peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender scented aromatherapy (opens airways, reduces anxiety), and swear word coloring books have helped more than I expected too.
Keep going! We got this!
