No one knows why we heal from withdrawal in windows and waves like you are. All we can say is that what you're going through is completely normal, despite how horrible it is. What we hope is that as you stabilize the windows will become bigger and brighter and the waves will become shorter, less frequent, and more tolerable. I’m not a medical professional and cannot offer medical advice. I am new to this journey and my thoughts are based only on my personal experience with psychiatric drugs.

You have experienced windows.... eventually the wave/window pattern will lessen and you will have fairly predictable days which I what withdrawal normal is.
