I stumbled upon this forum while searching for nightmares caused after you stop smoking weed. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one here, much thanks for all your replies.
I am on my second try with quitting weed for good. I quit last summer and lasted 3 months, but then I fell back into it because of stress and due to the fact that almost all my close friends smoke weed on daily basis. I got into a habit of smoking up to 3-4 times per day, my chest really hurts, I am lazy and I can't seem to stop battling my brain, it really screwed up my thought process because the second I fell stressed or full of anxiety, I'd smoke weed and in result end up feeling ok for 5 minutes than I'd go back into the same mind-fucking and bugging out I was used to before.
I finally decided its time to kick this stuff for good because even though I am a designer and is apparently an important stimuli, I kind of feel weird and useless thinking that I owe a credit to weed because of the work I produce. I really want to get rid of that notion.
I must agree with whoever said that chamomile tea helps with anxiety and going to sleep easier. I, much like many of you also have really vivid nightmares when I go to bed so given that I stopped smoking 2 days ago, the nightmares already kicked in and I wake up feeling uncomfortable and weird.
All in all, I sincerely hope that this time I quit for good. I still think weed can be a fun time if you smoke once per month, but you have to be extra careful because weed is the type of a drug (yes I know calling weed a drug is lame but we all know what happens when you do too much of it) that will get under your skin and you will do all you can to defend it.
I guess I joined here to just put my 2 cents in and maybe give another person like me some hope.
If you fear quitting weed, don't. First week or two will be tough and you will most likely snap at people if you can't control it, but I suggest being occupied with things, work, gym, anything really.
Good luck to all.
hi, I would like to respond to marijuana withdrawl, I've been a daily user for 15 years, and would like to quit once again. I've tried nearly 10 times quitting always go back to marijuana. The withdrawls are horrible, severe anxiety, sleeplessness, and agitation, among many other symptoms. I need help quitting and would like some member feedback about if their is any prescription medications to lesson withdrawl, I'm also interested in natural and homeopathic medications for the major withdrawl problems, anxiety, agitation, and sleeplessness, and feeling as though you lost a good friend, which turns out not to be a friend at all. To those who are reading this, this is no crap this is the truth, don't start pot, not once, not ever, your life will be a million times better without it.
