Re: Okay I’m terrified...
Exercise, eat healthy and varied. None of us know for how long you'll be experiencing it or not. It will most likely improve as our bodies are intelligent as fuck and this ain't no optical or spinal nerve damage (even there, I'm under the impression there's some partial recoveries!).

Re: Okay I’m terrified...
Give it time - a lot of people's side effects improve for up to 6 months. What dosage were you taking and in how many pills a day etc? How many days since you quit? 15mg taken at night.
