The effect has been devastating for both of us. Wondered if anyone else had experience of this?
Too much too soon too soon can trigger Dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome, DAWS, which the FDA has likened to the experience of cocaine withdrawal ie. very unpleasant. Are there other symptoms being experienced ? What time frame ?
I would suggest DAWS is a possibility but I am not medically qualified and it depends on the two questions.
