Marijuana, for me, is pretty damn hard to quit entirely. The withdrawal symptoms are definitely a pain in the ass, and are usually what drive me to use again. I've tried to quit in the past but always either turned to alcohol to cope with the ensuing depression and anxiety, and then eventually going back to daily marijuana use.

Well, I haven't smoked for four days now, and I feel the same old things; nausea coupled with anxiety all day long, a very bad temper, can't eat more than a couple bites in a sitting, and a brutal case of insomnia. All of these together can make for one very uncomfortable day. Thankfully, they have subsided somewhat over the last couple days, I just hope this anxiety goes away sooner than later.

But hang in there guys, it only gets better from here.

i've been a cronic pot smoker everyday for over five years. I've quit twice before for 3 weeks once and a month the other time.... This is the third and last time, because i'm quitting for good. I'm on Day 10. Each time I've experienced the exact same symptoms. So trust me there IS WITHDRAWL......

Each time I've quit it goes like this....

Day one I feel like I always do when I wake up. Tired, groggy and lazy, I don't feel like I NEED IT, but it would be nice to have it. I can't sleep tonight. I think If i have just some It will put me to rest. But I don't have any, and I have a restless night.

Day Two I go to work and every body and everything annoys me to the point that I wish I could tell everybody to F*#k Off. But I don't, I know its because I haven't smoked and I had a bad sleep. Again I don't need it but after work it would be nice to breath in the releif that comes with the smoke. I can't sleep, I toss and turn. This is very frustrating.

Day Three is just like Day two I hate everybody, because they are all so annoying. I feel angry at all most everything. I need to be in the comfort of home so that I can be alone. I can't sleep much, the little i get brings with it some wild dreams. I wake up lots and am very sweaty. I wake up later then I am very cold. This is a vicious cycles that countiues all night.

Day four, five, and six, I start to feel less annoyed with people and work. I tell some close friends at work that I've decided to quit, for reasons that are obvious. I worry about my health, and I don't want to go through life as a hazy of emotionless, numbness. (I think you know what I mean) I need to get the inside of my body and mind to cope with each day as is and not on a high!! This is what I want for my self. I can't sleep. Little sleep is filled with more wild vivid dreams. I am sweaty. The vicious cycle continous.

Day seven I start to feel strange, this is not so much emotional its more the physical that begins to come into play. My head is full of pressure like a sinus headache from hell, I have soreness all over my head like a sinus flu. I have lots of flem. I have to work today so I take sudafed. Each time I've quit this happens to be, But I'm still convinced that I'm coming down with something. And people are annoying to me. Again I have a terrible tossing sleep.

Day eight, and nine is the worst. I feel like hell, I have those stomache pains. I have no appetite and my headache is the worst. My eyes are burning. I rub them all the time. This feels like a really bad flu. I have flem. But at least at night I have a better sleep. I still have some crazy vivid dreams.

Day Ten which is today. I woke up from a fairly good sleep, I don't seem to have a headache anymore, my eyes don't hurt, and I have just a little bit of congestion, with a little flem. My brain just feels like it's a stupid mush ball of nothingness.

I kind think I want to smoke today, But I won't. I know this will be hard But I Know I can Do this. And I will!!!!

I have recently decided to quit smoking mj. I have noticed that alot of people on here are actually trying to help others by relaying their experiences. THANK YOU!! I thought I was goin crazy. I have been having the anxiety, loss of appetite, crazy dreams, sweats, and mild depression. I would have to say there is something to this withdrawl thing. And to those you say the mj is not addictive, I would say you are narrow minded and have no interest in helping those people who came here for help. It would be a pretty big coincidence that so many people have experienced the same symptoms I have. I had never read anything about addiction to mj before today. So I didn't get these symptoms after reading it was the symptoms that got me to read about it.
Thank you to all those that are actually trying to help, I can say that I feel a little better knowing that I am not alone. I cant give anyone advise because I am not sure what to do myself. But if reading all of these peoples and my own experiences can help, I hope the best for you. Thanks again to all those trying to help.

So it is Day Five and I am Feeling all of these withdrawl symptoms as well. The first night was not so bad for sleep but the last 3 have been hell!! Tossing and Turning sweaty then freezing cold...and the anxiety is incredible but manageable. I am trying to keep Positive affermations in my head all day my favorite one to say is -"My Disipline supports me Health Happiness and Success. I know we can get through this guys and gals just keep your chin up.

Ive been smoking heavily, daily, for years now. I know I need to quit or at least cut back, but there are other factors.

1. despite addiction running heavy in my family, I dont have an addictive personality. Ive never been addicted to anything else.

2. I dont really WANT to quit, at least not entirely. I know wanting to quit is a pre-requisite...but it really dont effect my life. I work full time (if not more), go to school, workout and train religiously - I live my life fully, I just do it high most of the time.

3. The only real reasons to quit is money - which I solved my cutting back heavily to about 1/2 to 1/4 of my previous use. The other reason is jobhunting - every freaking place drug tests and with this economy one is ALWAYS job hunting. Im not in a field requiring anything more than pre-employment drug testing.

Ive cut back alot, but trying to cut back to my goal (smoking 2-3 days a week) is not working. I cant sleep good, irritable as hell, everything infuriates me. ZERO appetite, my appetite has always sucked genetically and smoking always helps me eat. nothing on the face of the planet induces my appetite accept pot.

any recommendations?

Most people who smoke marijuana smoke it only occasionally. A small minority of Americans - less than 1 percent - smoke marijuana on a daily basis. An even smaller minority develop a dependence on marijuana. Some people who smoke marijuana heavily and frequently stop without difficulty. Others seek help from drug treatment professionals. Marijuana does not cause physical dependence. If people experience withdrawal symptoms at all, they are remarkably mild.

ive been smoking since i was 14 so its going on 7 years now... around the age 15 i was smoking an eighth a day by myself not even socially making sure that i was high the entire day all day. i always made sure i wouldnt run out by buying sacks when i got low, however one day i smoked the last of my weed and fell asleep. when i woke up sober with no weed it was like ALL the bad feelings i had been masking with being high hit me like a brick. i started crying and sweating uncontrolablly. ive never been so irritated in my entire life and i wasnt even taking any other drugs durring this time. a day went by and i started smoking again and its been every day since...

NOW...

as of right now im going through the same thing, im sweating and irritated at everything... so irritated i cant even find myself to want to call someone for a sack because theyre gonna annoy the hell out of me... I KNOW THIS IS A REALITY! its not mental because im physically ill... weed really is addictive. i never planned to quit i just ran out and havent got a chance to get more but i dont know if maybe it would be better for me to ride these symptoms out and just end it or go buy a sack and keep on with my life as it has been for the past 7 years... please help...

I have hear of people using Kuduz for withdraws. And happy camper by so.laray or Positive thoughts by source natural for sad thoughts.As long as your are not on MOA'S.

I was told by a doctor that it takes about two weeks to get over the withdrawel symptoms from using marijuana. After that you need to be strong and resist the temptation.
I shouldn't advise this as it's probably not great advice but what i did when things got too tough for me ( and it is tough ) was drink. I did that when getting off all kinds of drugs , exctacy, speed. Just takes the load off a bit. good luck with it all.

I'm on day 20 of quitting a 14 year habit. To those who say withdrawals are all mental, give it some more time. Everyone is biologically a little different, smoking different weed in different environments for different reasons. The physical symptoms are REAL for many. Your anecdotal “it didn’t mess with me so it won’t mess with you is BULLS*^T. (yeah I’m still edgy.) Many people, especially ones who are already somewhat depressed can go through hell. Suicidal thoughts, anxiety, loss of appetite, chest pain, fatigue, aloofness, dizziness, nausea, ect.

No its not like quitting nicotine or SSRI’s or pain killers but it still sucks. Especially with this messed up conventional wisdom that you aren’t supposed to have withdrawals. Until I came here I thought I needed a Dr.

I began smoking daily to quit Paxil. Eventually it replaced the Paxil but turned me into a psychotic hermit.

The longer the usage and the stronger the weed the more out of wack your CNS and metabolism become. What all the others said about antisocial behavior, memory loss, violent mood swings and GAD is true. Pot also kills confidence and ambition in many, many people. It doesn’t help that most the street weed out there is poorly grown shite that hasn’t had the chemical fertilizers properly flushed.

Anyway, the first week was really not a big deal for me-due to work I had to stop for about a week to 10 days at least 2 times a year for the past 7 years. Knowing I would come home to a big fat bowl always got me through that.

But now it’s different. The weed has been flushed. All my pipes in the city landfill. Around day 7 I began to feel like someone stole one of my lungs. In my late 20’s to early 30’s I raced Mountain bikes and had a lot of endurance. After I stopped racing I was still able to pedal uphill for a mile or so without much sweat.

Now that the depression is lifting and I’m starting to exercise again I am noticing that I have NO energy. It’s like I have the flu or mono. I normally ride about 12 technical miles on my bike, right now I can’t do 1 mile without feeling like I’ll pass out. I break a sweat taking out the trash. For me this is the worst. How much damage did I do and why has my endurance tanked so quickly? I once read the weed can help with asthma and expanding the lungs, are they now collapsing? Detoxing? I do not know. It’s the weirdest and hardest part to deal with. The loss of appetite has actually been good for me. (down from 245 to 225 already).

Even today I am still a total hypochondriac. Coming here put my mind at a lot of ease. But the thought of smoking and putting that fog on my brain again is unthinkable. I’m not coming this far to turn back. NFW.

If you’re trying to quit or thinking about it because you know your daily habit has changed you dramatically over the years I will only say this: Pot is not the cure, IT’S THE CAUSE for your insomnia, ringing ears, headaches and anxiety. The very source. TRUST ME. Deep down you know the truth. You’re not messed up, the weed is.

Hey there de toerist,

good on you for quitting. Sounds like you've really had enough. My boyfriend is in the same boat as you. You're a little further ahead though. he's on about day 8 or so. I hope he quits for good. I was addicted to mull too and speed, exctacy. smoked about a quarter a week in the end until I got a condition called psychosis from it. I've recovered now. Just want you to know that I know it;s tough. and especially for you it's even harder because you've been batteling with this addiction for a hell of a lot of your life but life is so much brighter on the other side.. Trust me, it's worth all the b***s*** you've gotta go through. The anxiety and feeling low and depressed and suicidal. I think thinking suicidal thoughts are ok so long as you know in the back of your mind that you would actually never do it. If you actually think you will do it I think you should definately go talk to a gp.
It takes some time to get your life back but when you do you'll never look back.
Be strong, determined and you can do anything you put your mind too. and just remember that only YOU have the power to change. You've gotta learn to love yourself. sounds stupid but it's true. If you ever want to chat I'm here for you.

I started smoking in 1972. I have quit three times and nothing like this has ever been a problem. I started again about thre years ago and tried to stop a couple weeks ago and thought i was loosing my mind. suicide thoughts , thoughts of dissapearing for good, vommiting daily constant sweats etc etc, i need help and support, not a week person, but this has got me tied up, a week ago or so i scored to just relieve but it just got to a point where if i was just uncomfortable i would smoke. i have stopped I am afraid and anything anyone has to say is appreciated. thanks

Sending you a PM : )

I have started going to narcotics anonymous, find it, use it, it works, just for today

Good on ya!

I've been smokin the herb for 18 years. I'm 29, so it's been more than half my life. I pretty much smoke all day every day. I haven't smoked for about three to four days now only because I'm out and not in my home town. I feel fine. I don't know why. maybe I just haven't started to withdrawl since I have so much in my system. I want some, but I want chocolate and a million dollars too. It's not like I'm freakin out or feel like crap or anything. It does seem odd not smoking but only because It's such a daily ritual. I am addicted. I have a hard time refusing it because it I like it. It smells good, tastes good and makes me feel good. Honestly, coffee is a more painful addiction. One day without, even one morning without and I am a walking rain cloud with a migraine. PEOPLE! If you want your withdrawl to go away, get off the couch and force yourself to do something else "fun". This will remind you that you do have fun without putting something into your body. You gotta get that dopamine flowing through your brain. You see, anything that you do that you like releases the dopamine, including, food weed or sex or sports. try it. I bet you'll feel better right away.

I concur...Its mental more than physical. I have stoped for 2 months at a time and as long as I had my mind on something else I was fine. You make a strong point.
