Relapse and Withdrawal syndrome..

[shadowknight]

Hi. I would like to know if its possible to experience a withdrawal syndrome after a relapse? I had a chronic problem with cough syrup but I was clean from the past 9 months although I relapsed and did it again 4 times. And now I seem to be experiencing the same thing I had when I had quit this habit 9 months back. So my question is, is it possible to experience this even after just 4 sessions? I mean, when I had quit I had been using cough syrup for over a year. But this time I just used it for 4 days.

no, you will have WD's from abusing only 4 times in the period of 3 weeks.  

It can be mental WD's.  The mind is a powerful thing, you can create wd's that arent really there

I totally forgot to mention what exactly it is that I am experiencing. As I wrote in my previous post, 17th was when I used it the last time. Since then, I have been feeling tired mentally and sleepy at times. Sometimes I feel depressed and anxious too. This is worst during morning hours and night.

Either this is a withdrawal syndrome or I am having a BAD hangover...

No, I relapsed just once. And during this period of relapse, I abused the substance 4 times. I relapsed on the 2nd of this month and I did it for the last time on the 17th.

You were clean 9 months but relapsed 4 times? How does that work?
