I've found that unfortunately, many doctors don't seem to have awareness of PAWS as a common issue, they associate it mainly with rare cases of extreme, prolonged alcohol abuse. That's not always the case. I found the Terence Gorski information helpful. Also Campral helped ease the symptoms for me, but that is best discussed with your doctor. Maybe ask for a referral to a specialist with experience in treating addiction, they have the most current knowledge.

After 3 months, I don't think you should be experiencing ongoing PAWS symptoms with no relief. Don't give up hope though - there are things you can do to manage the condition and improve your quality of life. In this case, knowledge and awareness is definitely power.
