[email protected] months. I had intense anxiety more intense then GAD from giving up, call it PAWS, withdrawal, whatever, to me it was just instense/acute anxiety -never again, will I drink a drop, it nearly broke me. It did let up after 6 months, but I got to the point where I didn't really care, so lessened the anxiety response cycle. Im still not sleeping too well. Meditation and diversion helped. I think the REM rebound was a huge factor for me.
Good luck!
