I wrote a topic a couple weeks ago that nobody responded to, but i'll give it another try.21 year old male, I was an everyday smoker for 2 years, quit last year around this time, and then started up again in june. From june till about 2 weeks ago i never smoked more pot in my life. And to tell you the truth since i've stopped i figured out why. I lost my father 3 years ago and since then i've been covering it up with pot, never went to any other drugs Thank Jesus, but im still suffering right now.

My withdrawals were, and still are after 2 weeks (14 days today) of not smoking:

Anxiety
Depression
Achiness
Stomach Pains
Appetite just plain old frikkin sucks
Cranky (WATCH OUT !!!!!!!)

Will these go away eventually ?
My Dr thinks temporarily I should try an anti-depressant. Please Help
Same thing happened to me, you are not alone, however i have been clean for 10 month, my doctor also told me to go on antidepressants, i chose not to, even though it was really bad, and sorry to tell you lasted for a very long time, the physical withdrawal stopped in about 2-3 month, the emotional lasted like 6-7, what helped me is exercise, vitamin B complex, also i've been taking Picamilon( look it up, its natural), I also read a lot about anxiety, i had big panic attacks that would seem like would never go away. It's just the nervous system is out of balance, antidepressants will numb your pain and then they also have the withdrawal period that you have to deal with, they do not heal you, you will still have a lot of work that you need to do on your own. My biggest problem was anxiety attacks, and then i became really cautious of my health, i am barely learning to let all the negativity go. People are all different and it might be way easier then it was for me. Good luck

Well Thank You Simma for your reply, it has indeed made me feel a little bit more that i am not alone in this. Its been like 17 days since i stopped, and man i feel all out of wack, but am trying to rebuild my sobriety one day at a time. I am however NOT going on anti-depressants, i decided to fight this tooth and nail. Thank You
