LOLOLOLO LOLOL OLOLOLOL
I am 50 yrs old smoked marijuana for 35 yrs on a daily basis. I have recently quit day 3
now. I am having withdrawl sypmtoms such as high anxiety, nausiousness, loss of
appetite, head aches and extreme moodiness. I also take anxiety meds, have depression
and am bi polar. So as one can imagine my with drawl systoms are extreme. Not enough to
make start again. I have found epson salt baths, relaxation music, no caffiene and small
amounts of light food easily digestable, especially protien eases the systoms a bit.
Keeping busy as much as possible not specifically physically but mentally. I read a forum
on here regarding that some of the symtoms are more noticable as you are straight
and not high all the time. You possibly may have had some of the symtoms and not realizing it as you were always high is quite realistic. If you are sting about quitting
and feel you can not do it on your own, there is nothing wrong with seeking help.
Be persistant in your goal and stability will be found.
I have experienced severe withdrawal from marijuana and there were a couple of things which helped during recovery.

Hi ,
Im a 31 yo male . I started smoking about 3-4 yrs ago with one attempt to quit last summer for an important career exam . Right after the exam i had like 4-5 blunts stuck in my mouth loool. I have been smokin on a daily basis and it helped me with sleep since my job is known to be stressful af . However , smoking affected many things in my life . First, smoking made me very lazy . Im a single guy who loves to go out and interact and meet new ppl . Everyweekend i plan to go out but i end up smoking a blunt or too and here we go Netflix + pizza + cigarrett smoking . This has been going on for. 3 yrs , gained weight lost muscles and looked and felt like sh** . Second, i had huge problem remembering things ( my job is all about having a sharp memory and critical thinking) , e.g : i struggled on a daily bases to find where i parked my car , i rec'd a warning from my boss as to be reevaluated coz my performance has declined tremendously (that was the turning point for me !!!) . Third , I had no motivation . The things i was thinking of were w: when am i going to smoke again and sex (which i was not very successful at since ppl dont like like slobs in general ) . Anyway , i quit smoking 3 weeks ago , joined a gym and started a lifting routine since then . Withdrawal symptoms I had were : 1- INSOMNIA : this one is b**** , the worst thing that happened to me in years . Ranged from absolute lack of sleep to 2-3 hrs everynight . Nothing helped me . Googled about like a maniac but nothing helped , i felt so miserable . It improved a little bit but still a problem . Idont have a problem falling asleep ! My problem was maintaining sleep What helped me ? Keep urself busy , dont overthink about it, and heavy workout (im talking a lot of sweating and pushing urself to the limit) . 2- LACK OF APPETITE : was shut down for the first 2 weeks . U get hungry but u only eat so little . What helped me : patience i.e time is ur friend, it will go away quickly , workout helps too . 3- DEPRESSION AND MOOD CHANGES : i think it has somethng to do with insomnia, but u will feel down for at least 2 weeks , with some anger bursts , occasionally u wil feel euphoric and all of a sudden u will feel down again , it was really annoying . What helps : be around ppl, friends , workout . I started to have deep thoughtful convo. with others - a little too deep though lol - . A general rule in all theabove is to try ur best to avoid ur smoking buddies , at least when they decide to smoke , they are not necessarily bad ppl , but for the timebeing u dont want them around you .
Now , i can feel , smell and think clearly , better than before. I fee more confident , outspoken and no guilt whatsoever . Dont get me wrong , i stll have some withdrawal symptoms , but i gotta keep pushing and pushing . You will be a human being again and feel self worthy its a matter of determination and time
Something I have not heard anyone said, but does anyone get a ringing noise in the ears? It's been 4 weeks since I've quit and since the day I started my ears began ringing. After 4 weeks the noise has slightly decreased but it is still noticeable. Anyone else have this issue?
dude ive been smoking 8 years I quit for 3 days only 3
and I cant eat barely and sleep yeah forget it I get like 3 hrs up down go to bed at 11 lie awake till 3 its ridicilious
im 23 years old. i have always been going to sleep late. always past 12am.(went to school tired, but at those ages you dont care about going to school tired) i only sleep once, and thats at night. i rarely (very very very very rare) take a nap or sleep in the day. when i was 18 got my first steady job which i would go in at 2pm, so sleeping late didnt effect me. I started smoking weed almost everyday when i was 19. mostly at nights, and some times whenever i just felt like smoking. i can honestly say i would smoke an eigh a week MAX. usaully tried to keep it at a gram a week for only sleeping. except for weekends and when we pitched in ( thats why i say an eight a week max). im 23 right now and on house arrest so i had to stop. i sleep every 2 days, thats when sleep gets to me(and doesnt always come at the right time like night time.) so im taking sleeping pills. The thing is idk if im having withdraws or if making me stop smoking and depriving me from my sleep. is making me feel no so healthy. anyones have any thoughts of my situation?
You are SO sadly mistaken. I have been a very healthy, active, mentally stable daily smoker for over 20 years. I quit about a week ago, and am having major withdrawal symptoms. Anxiety, vomiting, etc. I do not take any other drugs, I eat VERY healthy foods, very little caffeine, and i exercise very regularly! PLEASE people, believe me that pot withdrawal is real. This person sounds like he's still justifying his habit!
Withdrawal is real but whats even "realer" is that it will go away with time (may be a very long time). I have been clean of weed and tobacco for 15months now, when i quit I had severe withdrawal symptoms I actually thought i was going to die. But today most of the symtoms have subsided. During this time i put on 10Kg of weight due to depression, lack of motivation, etc.
I would advice anyone going through the same to read these posts as they really helped me. You just need to keep going. It may seem like its never going to end but believe me it will. It ended for me. Im now eating healthy, exercising everyday, spending more time with my kids and enjoying life generally. I wish you all the best.
Finally it is very important to be real with yourself about what is happening to you. You may want to come up with so many reasons why certain things are happening but in my expereince the WEED is the cause of 90% of the bad stuff so LEAVE IT ALONE!
