You may want to try some melatonin or some B Stress Vitamins.  I am taking one called StressEase.

I'am 51 day's clean & know what u mean, even though i've had many reasons to be stressed to the mac i think it's our bodies way of trying to cope without drugs. I don't know how long u abused them or what u even used but i used for 8-9 yrs & i figured i put my body & mind through heck all those yrs & it will take a while to heal it self. Best of luck to u.

You should get your blood pressure checked.  Maybe at one of this machines in the drug store.  I don't think it's good to walk around feeling stressed all of the time.  I know I was feeling that way and my blood pressure was really high.  Not trying to scare you, just care.

Yes that is very normal when you are used to having a mind altering substance in your system your body has a hard time coping without it

It is common for the fog to clear..most mental things that linger are anxiety and or depression at times....You may be experincing the stresses you used to cope with while using. except you are facing them clean...this is a good time to look for books etc on the topic, or bounce the issue off a friend...you're re-learning a lot of things....
