Quit marijuana now I’m sad

TemperateRainforest June 29th, 2022

I quit smoking marijuana about a week ago. I was a heavy all day every day smoker. Now I’m being properly medicated so I don’t need it anymore. I thought the physical withdrawal symptoms at the start were the worst, but I’m feeling a constant sadness that just won’t go away. I know this has to do with the brain chemistry balancing back out after using it all up everytime I smoked pot, but it doesn’t make it any less painful and I really needed to just vent. Maybe see if anyone else is in the same boat as me, or has been before and got past this part.

So the withdrawal isn’t as over as I thought. I’m now experiencing the anger that I was avoiding by smoking pot.

I am doing okay, haven’t gone back to pot yet. Doctor prescribed me Ativan for a few weeks because my anger about abuse I went through had gone through the roof.

Haven’t touched pot since, and I’m finally dreaming again. Pot stops me from dreaming, I have very lucid dreams when I am sober. I’m happy about having that insight to my subconscious back.

Sooo your prescription is for a benzodiazepine which if you become psyically dependant on the withdrawal will possibly ill you. That's one extremely messed up cade of switching one addiction for another... Be safe

I've been struggling with quitting I feel as if it is a daily necessity and without it I feel as if my day is off. Do you have advice for resisting the urge to smoke?
