how long do marijuana withdrawal symptoms last

It's kinda a relief to hear someone goin through what um goin through or at least I hope that's my case but like you said I also feel like something isn't right in my head but I think it's all withdrawal symptoms but sometimes I feel like I won't ever shake bacc from it.

I've been smoking everyday for about five years now and with how much it is affecting me with memory loss, anxiety and most of all my social life i thought its defiantly time to quit. The best option i came up with was Thailand, i know i a bit out there but i treated it like it was my rehab. I got valium from the a near pharmacy to help with the anxiety and it was the best thing i ever did. You dont even think about the pot when your always occupied meeting and hanging out with people ( you'll need the valium to do so) but still give it a try. Its cheap and could save you. Really.

It's interesting you mentioned dry heaving during and after brushing your teeth. The same thing has been happening to me as well. I'm on week 2 after 25 years of habitual pot use. And yes, the anxiety is also through the roof, particularly in the mornings. Insomnia and other sleep disturbances like vivid nightmares are also a big problem ad I never feel rested. It's a real b*tch.

I agree. I'm 37 and I had been smoking since I was 17. I smoked several J's a day. I quit about a week ago and had one night of cold sweats and a mild headache the next morning but here I am 6 days later and I'm fine. Never threw up I don't have headaches or any of the other stuff I see above. Caveat is that I'm in great shape I eat right always have and I exercise quite frequently. I guess that's the difference. PS. I've quit on and off many times over the years and have never had more than a couple days of discomfort. Eat right and exercise folks, that's the key!

Hey, how you doing now?I am curious to know

Hi, considering it's a year how are you both coping and how long did the withdrawals last? Iv been smoking bud for about 5 years and I'm only 19. Iv got anxiety and I'm not sure if it's from smoking or will it get worse when I stop? I'm nearly always high and it's super hard to quit... any tips?

It has been two days since i have quit (again). I have been smoking off and on since i was 20 years old and i am now 28... The first year of smoking, i had no issues, because i would only smoke weekends, once or twice. Had to quit, and i picked up alcohol and became an alcoholic for 5 years. Wow. Worst decision ever. In order to quit, i smoking weed to get past the withdrawals. Little did i know that both alcohol and weed prevent your body from producing the normal feel good chemicals in the brain. My body didnt have time to repair and relearn to produce them on it's on. I began smoking daily to help with my stomach issues from drinking. After a few years, i have learned that daily smoking can make you sick. Literally lower your stomach acids to the point you cannot digest. At first, i thought it was just damage from alcohol...but i would run out of weed and get those withdrawals of sweating, nausea, headaches, anxiety, and attacks. It usually takes me about a week to feel somewhat normal. Here is what helps. B12. St John's Wort, bananas, Gatorade (coconut water is healthier and does the same, but your choice) crackers, hot baths to sweat it out, lots of water, and melatonin for the restless, sleeepless nights. Sleeping is hard, but important, so try to sweat it out in a shower or bath before bed, then melatonin.

My biggest issue is moderation with weed. Every other time i have had to quit, it was because i ran out. This time i have plenty, but i can't stand the heartburn and digestion issues. The plan is to quit for a month or so, and only smoke once or twice on weekends. Smoking all day everyday is fun, at first, but it burns you out and wears on your body and brain. Then, you're screwed and sick the minute you go on vacation or anywhere you can't have it. I am not even tempted to smoke, i just wish i hadn't been so gluttonous about smoking to feel happy. Moderation is key with anything. Just like people who drink caffeinated drinks all day long. You will crash. You will burn out. You will have withdrawals and become anxious. Just be patient and know that you will survive. If moderation is just something you can't do, then best to quit all together.

Stay strong and positive. This passes and it gets easier.

Oh, and magnesium and potassium is extremely important in helping with these symptoms

Not sure if people are still looking at this but, i'm 19 and i've been smoking everyday for about 1 year now and i'm trying to quit. I was getting withdrawl symptoms even when i did smoke and that's when i knew i had to stop. Symptoms include anxiety, weird stomach feelings, nausea, insomnia, emotional distress. I haven't smoked pot in approximately 48 hours and it's been tough. I purchased a dab pen that is 8 parts CBD to 1 part THC, i've been using this and i've found that it helps with the withdrawal but shoukd i be still using it because it has THC in it? The THC amount is very little and u don't even get high using it. If anyone has some insight for me that would be awesome.

Wow i been smoking like 5 yrs, ive been to doctors n hospital 4 days in row, and it's very real. I chug water to force vomit or i am stuck dry heaving and having a burning/stabbing pain in my chest. My throat became so inflamed from vomitting so much, i could barely swallow. I need out of this!'

I've smoked every day for 20+ years.. I'm trying to quit because it costs too much for the good stuff .. today was the first day in a long time that I didn't even smoke a roach and I feel aweful .. my body aches .. not like sick like my bones or joints just achy and I had no appetite .. or I thought I did but couldn't eat ... they say you can't get physically addicted but ...... I duno anymore

Hi. Have been reading through these posts the last few days as I'm pretty much in the same boat as mostly everyone here. Have been smoking for roughly 15 years and am 37 now. I used to love it but I've found that it's been having a very negative effect on my life. This is roughly my twelth time quitting this addiction and it's never ever easy.

What's prompted me to quit each time has been a life event that's happened and getting high instead of helping me relax has actually made things worse. I've been cold turkey now for 12 days and it's been very hard. I can go to sleep no problem but I wake up every few hours and by the time I go into work I feel exhausted. My appetite is slowly coming back, but the anxiety and depression is just the absolute worst. I keep worrying about my family constantly and it's hard to will yourself to be positive. Bizarrely i even worry about what ill do without it and how everything seems so profoundly boring without it.

What's getting me through this is that I know I will get better. From my other quits it's taken no more than 6 weeks to be clear of this s**t. I've totally cut out Sugar and Caffeine and regularly go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week to try and speed up the process. I'm also lucky that my Dad is always there to hear me out when I go through this. He thinks I'm an id**t for keeping on putting myself through this but always hears me out.

To the ones who say withdrawal is no big deal I'm happy for you and I have quit for a time myself without issue, but it's a strange drug and can bite you in the ass at anytime. I felt fine just before this quit then I just had the one smoke and started to feel all panicky and uncomfortable. I'm looking forward to the day when I wake up one morning and it's all over but I have a bit of a way to go yet

I smoked weed since I was 17 now 28.. I gave it up because I couldn't afford it anymore, plus I would get ripped of €50 for 8 joints.. It affected me socially, everyone would ask why don't you go out drinking.. I felt ugly, my eyes looked sluggish and my thinking wasn't clear... Get shy and paranoid all the time.. It's hard to go off when a lot of friends smoke it. But you have to be selfish, withdraw yourself from people that smoke it, for a little while. I'm off it 5 days now, I feel great only withdrawal is sleepless nights.... I'll not go back on because I've made the promise... Don't say to yourself 1 more joint.. That leads to another just nip it in the bud(hehe) you'll feel better quicker, more money, more self esteem. And remember what you feel is normal, and it will pass... I feel f****g great off it, new woman

This guy is a jackass
