My husband was diagnosed with PAWS while he was in rehab. He is still in rehab so I cant tell you about living with it at home. We have talked about it in our family sessions, he is ok now but it is something that can keep coming back. In rehab he was depressed, anxious, self harming. The doctor put him on some antidepressants after a while and they seem to be helping him. Not sure this is helpful, I would like to hear people reply who have dealt with it at home because he will be home soon. I have some information from his rehab, but someone here gave me this link a while back, you might want to read it. I dug it out of my old threads for you: Post-Acute Withdrawal Symptoms - Relapse Prevention Strategies
