weed withdrawl anxiety

[shez1121]

i smoked weed for about a year and i quit could turkey, i had all the normal symtoms like nausea and nightsweats etc for the 1st week and things got much better with time, im on day 50 since i last had a joint but i cant seem to shake of the anxiety, this uneasy feeling and im scared to go out worried ill have a panic attack (ive had like 3 or 4 when i went out before,barely if not any at home) just wondering if the anxiety will go in time and if so, how long and what helps speed the process?
thank you

There is no actual withdrawal associated with marijuana. Its not like withdrawing from opiates or other drugs. The symptoms you're having could just be anxiety and the weed was helping you deal with anxiety. So now that you're not smoking it you're noticing the symptoms of the anxiety more so than before. You might want to look into some sort of therapy to figure out where the anxiety is coming from.

thank you for your kind words but will the anxiety go away with time?

Hi, I just want to say it takes you a lot of courage to do what you are doing. So every time you feel that anxiety comming you remember that and how strong you have been been not to smoke now for 50 days and tommorrow will be 51, then 52, ect. If you are haveing a difficult time you can always see your MD, about the anxiety. I don't mean to sound like i'm preaching, but changing the people you hang with for a while to will help if they smoke. Good luck. And I guess just having a friend to talk to will help you also. Molly
