Alcohol Alcohol and Cannabis withdrawal

[bobtroy]

Hi all, first post here.

11 days ago I quit Alcohol and Cannabis.

I drank moderately 10 beers 3x per week for 40 years.

I Vaped Cannabis for 8 months, a couple hours every day..

I never had major issues quitting alcohol. This occasion I quit both. It's been 11 days now.

Withdrawal symptoms:
Anxiety
Depression
Dizziness
Stomach issues
Pain
All symptoms are now tolerable except sleep. I cannot sleep, or sleep 2 hours at must.

Last night to fall asleep, I took a2 mg Ativan, 2 kava capsules, 100 mg hydroxyzine, and 10 mg melatonin... And finally fell asleep.

I am prescribed 2mg Atavan, twice per day.

Would appreciate any and all experiences and feedback. I am in dire need of sleep. The cannabis was my sleep aid.

thanks in advance

in theory, cannabis withdrawals should be over in a month, but probably it can not be simplified that much.

In rehab/ detox, for Alcohol. They sedated me with Diazepam. day 1: 80 mg, 2: 40, 3: 20 mg and day 4 10 mg.

Never noticed any WD's off THC during it. But you get quite stoned alike from Diazepam lasting at least 2 week's. Which could have covered them a bit. And THC has, like Diazepam, an extreme halflive. So technically you are tapering.

Psychologically it feels like its something that will will alway's be in the back of my mind even if I would quit. At least as long as it has no adverse just positive effect's.
