    Can someone sort of just chime in on this? I was having flatline (or withdrawal) symptoms. First I get really really angry and pissed off for no reason. Get really irritable.

    Now, it's changed, and I'm not like, angry any more
    But I'm more like hopeless, and not horny like before

    so my withdrawal symptoms changed

    anyone have more experience with the pattern, or know more about it?

    Yep that's all part of the reboot process. At a molecular level, your brain's been getting hyper-stimulation all the time, so it had to down-regulate the receptors in your reward centers. When you have fewer receptors in your reward centers, normal feels bad. By about the 30-40 day mark, your brain should up-regulating those receptors so that normal feels like normal again.
    I was feeling all sorts of terrible until about day 35.

    Can definitely confirm the moodiness. Go from calm to hulk in no time flat. As for other emotions and length of time I'd think that it really depends on the person and their overall state of mind. Give it time and try to keep yourself grounded. It's worth it even if it's uncomfortable for a time.

    Couldn't have worded this better myself. Can definitely confirm the same feelings. My mood is drastically improving compared to the last two weeks.

    Persevere and don't give in to the urges. They'll pass.
