Maybe this helps:

Post-acute-withdrawal syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alphaomega, I'm not a dr., but what you're describing doesn't seem to match what is described in the Wikipedia article. You do have some of the symptoms but many of us have those symptoms for a short while. I don't know the diagnostic criteria for PAWS, but given the long list of symptoms, I doubt that just a couple would lead to that diagnosis.

Also, a lot of people simply don't get PAWS. The symptoms you describe, at this point in recovery are in fact very common. But they're not PAWS, just part of the natural recovery process.

But... If you really want to know what's going on, I'd see a dr. If I had doubts about what was going on with me, I would go see my doc too.

I think that's the best thing you can do if you want closure on this, go see your doctor.
