Does Pot Help Hydro Withdrawls?

[LasVegasRealtor]

Hey Team!!

Question....does smoking pot help with hydro withdrawls......so you can sleep, and just be vegged out all day while your body detoxes?  I know trading one drug for another is not smart....but I never smoke pot and really do not care for it....but to help me not feel anxious and help me sleep I think it would work....gotts get off the pills....let me know if anyone has tried that.  Thanks!!

there are some other comfort meds that can help you wd, safer than the drugs you mentioned
i know for me i had to stop all drugs to get better, but there are a ton of people who do marijuana matience
i tried it for a while myself, just didnt get me where i wanted to be

So how did the pot help......did it take away the anxiety?  Help you sleep?  I am not worried about smoking pot because to be honest the handfull of times I tried it I did not like it...made me lazy....so i have no fear of getting "hooked"

Whereas if I use xanax, I could very well just be trading one pill for another...yikes

I feel like I am going to crawl out of my skin.....can't sleep, focus or do anything for that matter.....

thoughts???

no it's not going to help if anything it might make it worse

You can take Melatinon at night to help with sleep.  Melatonin is naturally in our bodies but when we've taken drugs or toxic things for too long we deplete our body of it.  That's one reason we cannot sleep.  So, I would suggest trying this.  You can get it at Walmart for fairly inexpensive.  Also, take a long, hot bath before bed and that helps me a lot.  Good luck!!!!
