Meditation helps a lot. I like to lie back for about 10 to 20 minutes a day and clear my head. That's not always possible so I try to set a goal of doing it three or four times a week. Even if I only do it once a week, I feel much better than if I haven't done it at all. That is something I would recommend for sure! Do you know how to meditate?

talking about anxiety/panic attack. I'm still recovering from it, even it's been 7months from my first panic attack. I didn't leave my house for couple of months because of this. Meditation music will help a lot throughout this hardship.

Exercise is the best cure! If you exercise frequently......energy sky-rockets, anxiety is greatly supressed and you will naturally become much more positive. Honestly...a 30min run everyday has helped me with EVERY symptom (even not marijuanna related). Because of pot.....my anxiety was sooo bad that I had to quit my job because of daily panic attacks. It got to the point were I couldn't even function outside my house, and had to rely on my girlfriend in order to accomplish anything. I have had EVERY symptom listed in this forum......to the max! When I quit pot....things got worse! Every symptom was amplified and i even thought about killing myself just to get rid of these feelings. I was willing to try anything! My girlfriend went for runs on a daily basis, and told me that exercise would probably cure me. IT DID. IT LITTERALLY DID!!! I'v only been clean for a year but because of a $400 tredmill....I am back to my old self after 7 years of smoking weed daily......in less than a year! I have NEVER felt soo good in my life and it's only been a year! Trust me everyone. The key and answer to all the questions in this forum is.....EXERCISE. I am now 22 years old and have NO anxiety, i'm never depressed, and am in the "i can accomplish anything" state of mind at all times. Everyone......RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! haha.

This is my first post here - just registered specifically so I could post in this thread.
Today is day one of quitting both marijuana and cigarettes. Last hit of pot was last night, last cig this morning about 8 hours ago.
I've used both for over 30 years. I'll skip the usual whining about how hard this is and the lengthy and non-unique back story.
Could just use some friendly support.

I have gone to hell and back becuase of weed and through exercise manged to look like a the healthist person throught the transitions. NO LIE exercise for life!!

Man this website has been so helpful. I've been a user for now for about 5 years. I began using daily about 2-3 years ago. I was a very productive person while smoking. No anxiety. The high was great. Everything. But then I began suffering from erectile dysfunction. I noticed that when I would quit for a week or two it'd go away, but I could never quit. That's when I decided I had to. I can quit almost anything and it scared me that I couldn't quit weed. My withdrawal is very mild. I've quit for a month, but I eventually came right back! I generally sleep well, but I have intense dreams when I try to quit. My muscles also twitch. I'm on my second day right now, but you guys are giving me the strength to go on. I've read this board all day and it's helping. Really helping guys and I appreciate it so much. I hope to regain my libido. I will keep you guys posted on results!

I totally agree. I think that exercising hard on a regular basis also will really help if you suffer from anxiety and it helps you feel better sooner and faster. What did you do for exercise?

Just remember, with every passing second come a second chance. The depression that your feeling is only an emotional that you brought upon yourself. Everyone makes mistake. I had a great oppurtunity for education, but I failed out of college because of this devil and lost hunderded and thousands of dollars. Lost close friends, just about everything I had, I lost. youll get back oin your feet just think positive and remember those craving only last 5-10 minutes. Just think craving for 5-10 mins is better than using and futher causeing your disease to get worse. It not worth it. You'll emerge eventually and starting feeling like yourself again. I know you hate to hear this, but being patience and not thinking bout getting high is hard, but effective. Just think of what you lost and how u hit rock bottom. It's WEED! I hope this help. Just remember That being high is selfish and only last for 2-3 hours . You will succed and feel better about yourself and your surrounding. Don't Give up

well its been four weeks for me and like all of you i have the same question: when does this end? When am i gonna feel normal? i can tell you i feel alot better today than i did for the first two weeks!
I thought i was gonna kill myself, it was an actual thought! just to make all those symptoms disappear. I thought i was going freaking crazy literally. i thought i should go to the mental hospital cause the horrible thoughts running through my mind!!
Those have stopped now im just dealing with the anxiety and paranoia. I dont really have any cravings just the thought that maybe if i smoke i will feel better...normal! Well my normal that im thinking of is the being high normal..the only thing im use to.
Its gotten about 75% better since the first two weeks but im waiting till i dont think about it anymore, its still apart of my life and i dont want it to be. i know if i smoke i will be back to square one or worse..rehab i dont think i could do it again!!! Im not that strong of a person. I know my faith family and all you ppl on here have been helping me. and i thank each and everyone of you.
Now i just wanna get back to living a normal life..whatever that is!!! i dont wanna worry about when my next anxiety attack is coming i dont wanna sit here and think im dieing constantly for no reason at all! Just sucks. im getting depressed because this is just taking forever, i know its not like i can wake up and everything be okay but i want to. I want that so bad!!!! All i ask myself is why did i have to start smoking? Why me? and why cant i be a stronger person like other ppl and not have any of these stupid symptoms!!
Again when does this end??

Iv been doing pot for years, never in a daily basis but still i do it. i dont smoke a full joint anymore. I have two or three hits, and im done, but still i feel the side effects when i stop, lets say i do it on saturday so the week ahead is terrible, three days of feeling down, depressed, no energy, i just want to sleep, im a musician and its good to be high while playing but it last a couple of hours then i start questioning everything, i start feeling bored and tired. the other week i smoked three days in a row and it was bad, i became moody, getting mad for everything, yelling to my kid, eventhough i caught her lying it doesn't mean that i have the right to yell at her. these are terrible happenings that i shouldn't be doing. I remember about a year ago i stopped smoking for several months, i felt so good, the skies were blue, even if it was snowing, i was so positive, full of energy, people around looked so bright.
exercise do work well for everybody. iv been doing exercise: jogging, swimming, biking, gym, for several years already and i am sure that is why smoking doesn't hit me that bad, like weeks or months in recovery but anyway it does affect, nobody wnts to feel miserable for a day or two we can handle it, though, but i feel it is better to quit. just leave it, radical, no more, we tried it, we experienced it, we enjoyed it, we learned from it. it is enough, good bye, we need to move on. it is not enjoyable anymore. evol uoy lla

I never had the symptoms of people above and I was a seriously heavy pot smoker for years. I had decided to quit when I wanted to pursue a specific carreer that would have confilcted with the pot smoker lifestyle, so I quit. There was no depression, no mood swings, and no sense of withdrawl. I do agree that it is not good for you, but i think the effect on personality may be worse for a select few; not everyone.
I think I might add that I think it may take a little longer for the chemicals in pot to clear your system that just a few months, though. It might even take a couple of years.
