Explains why I feel stupid, tired (but can't sleep of course) and irritable.

I hope you will discuss this with your doc. I think it's pretty common when one stops a substance after dependence/abuse. I believe I had some long-term symptoms even after my alcohol detox. That was about 15 years ago, though. It was a hard time that I'm glad is in the past. I hope you start feeling better soon, Sapien.
