Hey everybody. Just stopped smoking weed abt a week ago after experiencing paranoia when I did it. I started last summer n wld only smoke a couple of puffs n wld b good for the day. there were breaks in between for a week to 30days. Long story short, within the past 30 days I hadnt smoke but decided I wld
take a puff cause I been under alot of pressure n thats when I got paranoid n decided to stop completely. Now im hving really bad headpressure in top n bck of head, bad pain n my jaw, blurred vision that im scared to drive or b alone, and the feelin of fainting. These symptons came all of a sudden n not sure if weed related. Anyone experiencing simi
lar issues? Or hv any ideas? Thanks

It sounds like you may have been self-medicating before with the weed.  It can calm some people down (not suggesting it's use).  Now that you have decided to quit, you are a bit anxious and may need some help with it.  A doctor would be your best bet.  They can rule out anything physical and then get to work banishing these scary symptoms.  Thoughts are with you.  Keep us posted.

In my opinion, this can definitely bring on anxiety.  Have you had anxiety issues in the past?  Are you currently under a lot of stress?  Anxiety and panic can cause all sorts of symptoms which can be scary and confusing in the beginning, but it can be dealt with quite effectively in my opinion.
