I stopped using opioids and benzos 1 and 2 years ago after 40yrs. I have PAWS (post-acute withdrawal syndrome) which is essentially anhedonia with anxiety. I cannot tolerate SSRIs/SNRIs but found the codeine I was given after biopsy instantly lifted symptoms. I was diagnosed on 30Dec and have picked up again, allbeit, in a relatively minor way since. Does anyone else have dual-diagnosis plus cancer issues?
