Cannanis withdrawal

[Erick Salas]

Hello All

I have been smoking weed everyday for the last 2 years and now I want to quit, the last joint was 4 days ago and since yesterday I'm feeling anxious, nervous and kind of depress. not a good feeling of course, I'm trying to keep myself busy but still having that horrible feeling. I have read in other websites that taking anti-depressants can help and that the withdrawal will go away soon.

is this true? what kind of anti-depressant can I buy in the drugstore without a medical prescription?

any other ideas of how to fight the withdrawal?


Thanks in advance
Erick

yes, it is true, but substitution is not the best way to go.
cannabis is not physically addicting but the habit of regular use can be, just like anything else can be if one does it routinely. take your head to another place...hanging at a pot site won't help much if you're serious about stopping. i've always found nature to be the perfect getaway for the brain...also road trips help.

ron (this site's owner) also runs a 'help' site that's full of people recovering from all sorts of addictions and would be more helpful to you...they'll have some suggestions for you: http://drugabusehelp.com/

good luck

When I am out or have to quit for a while, it helps me to take a little St. John's wort. I still want to smoke a bowl, but the anxiousness goes away and makes the craving more managable for me.
Del's right though. The best thing to do it to get your head in a different place. Go for a walk, do some art, play a video game. Anything that keeps ya from thinking about it.
Good luck to you~

you will feel much worse coming off an anti depressent than you will from stopping cannibis use also many of the newer AD's have terible side affect's including dependancy loss of sleep and in some cases suicide if you cant smoke any more try drinking a beer or glass of wine for the anxiety good luck

Del i dont know what your talking about

If you read anything about drug withrawl you
would know that anti-depresants dont help
and a doctor wont give them to you if he
knows your a drug abuser.

If you want over the counter anti-depressants try SAM-e

The best answer to quiting bud smoke is to slowly reduce the
amount you smoke each day.

You should not take anti-depresants for withdrawl.

i had to take a break atleast for a couple days( i need my dose of sobriety) and its been 3 days since i last smoked grass, the first 2 days werent as pleasant as today was i was irritated at everyone, had these all of a sudden mood swings. today hasnt been a bad day at all, its been quite a normal psychological day. you just need to spend some time alone for the first couple of days or just send urself somewhere else. but itll pass man no worries

i haven't smoked in two months. i still "hang out" on many weed sites, an around people that smoke, i even still grow! i also smoked for nine years several times a day. the only hard part was the first week, after that it's easy....except for the occasional dream when i smoke and then feel guilty because i have decided to quit, and am on probation. the only symtoms i felt were: insomnia, apitite dysfunction, vivid dreams, and mild anxiousness. i still have the dreams, but that's kinda fun. i have noticed i drink alot more though.

why would u want to quit anyways? smoke weed for life

[ilovelife]

when i had to quit a lil while ago it was easy just find a hobby besides smoking and keep doing it, also spend time with sober bitches and see wat they do to pass the time. but i no exactly wat dylan's talkin bout with the dreams. when i quit i would have dreams every nite about smoking. hell i once woke up wet after a dream about smoking.
