i know i am not the bearer of good news but it was a shock to me as well when i read it, yeah, post withdrawal disorder is an actual thing and can last months or up to a year.

here’s a couple of helpful links about it - Post-Acute-Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS): An In-Depth Guide

this is a better one in my opinion - https://psychcentral.com/blog/archiv...inful-lengthy/

…But I would want to know about it beforehand. And I’d want to be working with a caring, thoughtful psychiatrist who not only acknowledged the potential problem, but was proactive in helping his or her patients deal with it.

just thought people should be aware of this problem as it isnt normally acknowledged by psychiatrists.
