I've never suffered anything beyond stage one withdrawals. I've had the shakes and the anxiety and man was it horrible. I used to work at The Cheesecake Factory and I'd wait on famous people all the time: Mike Bibby, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chris Webber, Alex Spanos, Fifty Cent. Being around famous people doesn't phase me in the least, waiting on normal people with the shakes...hell on earth.

The shakes and anxiety always went away for me and never lasted longer than a day. I've never made it to stage two (hallucinations). Thank my lucky stars for that.
