The pain aches you feel, the lifelessness, and particularly the fact you can't sleep, no matter how tired you are.
You also get bad constipation, hence the laxatives and tea. It also makes you skinny by killing your appetite. Not to mention the depression which is compounded by all this.

@robbie27 "Im so tired I cant sleep" sounds just like one of my manic episodes. The song sounds to me like a self examination that revealed the ugly he felt was inside him. " Anemic royalty" refers to him being an icon despite the fact he is so weak and feels unable to live up to his image. However the line "Im on warm milk and laxatives/cherry flavored antacids" definitely speaks to heroin withdraw.

@robbie27 PennyRoyal is actually an herb used to curb the stomach problems associated with withdrawal symptoms or just general stomach complaints. Often times it's used as a tincture, which uses distilled water or alcohol to create with the herb.... Just sayin... valid point
