Depression from quitting weed?

[MasterVampire]

Its getting about that time where I really want to try quitting weed again.

Ive been doing for the past 12 months and I feel like a zombie, that and I cant get any at the moment so thats another factor.

Its the first day without it and I feel so down and depressed.
Ive allways had mild depression but nothing too bad, but lately its hit me like a ton of bricks.

I would usually smoke just to kill the time and cure my boredom and without it everything just seems so shitty.

I cant even enjoy video games or TV anymore. I tried playing call of duty before but just gave up and turned the xbox off mid round.

I just feel like I've got nothing without it because I dont have many friends and dont get out that much which is why it seemed like a perfect fit for a loner like myself.

I dont feel like doing anything but just staring at my PC screen, and this is only the first day without it! Soon I will have to go through the sleeping problems, sweating etc... Which will make it so much harder.

This really sucks.

sweating problems and sleep issues sound like an underlying problem that a psychedelic could be both covering and enhancing at the same time. Even marijuana can mess with ya absolutely - how old are you and how long have you smoked for ?

 

[MasterVampire]

25 smoked for about 6 years

It sounds like you have an awful lot of free time on your hands bro , what are you doing for work / school ?

for the 1st couple weeks I would stay busy from about 8am-6pm daily. start working out. try to stay so busy you are tired come 5pm. then you will feel 0 symptoms, because mj is not physically addictive it is mentally, so keep your mind busy.

try running. that's what i always do when i begin a weed break; it really eases the depression.

The shit really fucks with ya head bro. Fucks with the dopaminergic reward pathway in a big way. It also fucks with GABA and glutamate systems. Google them if you are unsure about what I mean, as it's 2:17am here in Australia and I can't be fucked explaining it this late.

Combine the effects with the lipid solubility factor, it's a really slow withdrawal, that is surprisingly powerful.

I suggest the following:

-100mg thiamine tablets, 3 times per day (works best on empty stomach)
-B complex vitamin tablet, 2 times per day (for the other B vitamins)(remember not to exceed vitamin B6 50mg per day)
-lots of water
-avoid caffeine, alcohol and other drugs

Just have to wait it out bro. Been there. Shit really fucks with ya head, big time.
