On vikes for 5 years

I quit the drug 2 months ago. My pain is quite severe, but the effects of the drugs were dropping and I did not want t take more. I am suffering from depression and anxiety. Taxing an ssri for 2 weeks. Could I be having PAWS?

Of course you could. PAWS - post acute withdrawal syndrome - really just idicates symptoms that come after the acute withdrawal phase.  As long as the withdrawals were acute (who's arent?) the symptoms that come after will be post acute.  Some good information and articles in the Health Discussions area of med help. Read through some of that stuff.........some interesting correlations come up with both moon phases and times after the drug is stopped. Particularly in increments around 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 day marks........
