Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The best way to manage the withdrawal symptoms are to keep yourself engaged. Engagement is possible throughout day time and upto sleeping hour. Then you will mentally feel the withdrawal symptoms. I suggest you to exercise well till you are totally tired.Once you are tired, you will automatically get sound sleep and night can be managed. In addition, I also request you to drink enough fruit juices and plenty of water. With the above steps, two or three days of withdrawal symptoms can be managed.
