want to share my experience about weed withdrawl symptoms

[xyzzyxpsoon!]

Am starting smoking weed 4 years ago. I really like to smoke weed. Am started smoking in last semister of diploma... i got distinction in diploma (with all 3 maths passed with more than 90marks).
I dont hav any problem in my life at that time and weed help me to laugh very loud-proud, my axiety totally go away, it increse my appetite(am skinny), it is the thing which i want in life...am totally enjoying my life(min 15 different people said me that) ..remember am topper from my diploma college.... my family support me alot for every thing.... i realy enjoys my life too much...
I hv smoke weed twice a day for about 1 year.. now am in engineering college... bt one day my tollerence increases slightly.... from dat day am builting more and more tollerence by smoking it more frequently to get me high like first time but its not happend...
Weed made me too lazy and deactivated. I never study in enginnering college while in 2nd 3rd year but passed out 2nd year(49%) and failed in 3rd year..
I feel so guilty i tried to stop smoking after fail but i cant...
No one supporting me, no one knows what i was suffer from...
Am crying whole day(alone at home). No one lecture attempt in 3rd year. Feeling guilty and more guilty....
Finally i talk to my parents that am using narcotic and cant able to stop....it really hurt them. They advice me to get help of PD.
Am go to see my PD. He prescribe me mirtaz15mg, and neurobion... mirtaz helps me to cope with insomnia, appetite and much more withdrawl symptoms...
Now am sober from 6 months... but it cant give me my past to change... and it change my life very dramatically... i dont have any interest in any thing... am alway tried to smile(which hurt me alot) my PD tell me to dont blame yourself for what you do in past but am not blaming myself am just want to accept reality of my life... i feel too guilty for what i was and what am now... PD tell me its depression, i have tried yoga, b vitamin supplemets, support from my friends, family, PD, and mirtazapine.....
The question is when i will feel normal, get interest in life, is it possible????
Am attempting last sem exam now( ll strt 4m 12may) so i cant reply you before 30may
Sorry for my bad english

I think your PD is correct - you do sound depressed. I used to smoke weed in the past and found that 30 days after smoking I felt normal. I didn't have any withdrawal symptoms that were noticeable aside from being bored and a little apathetic for the first couple of days after stopping.

Depression on the other hand can continue for a long time. It can develope very subtly, so you don't realize you have it at first. I know when I'm depressed it's hard for me to laugh and smile easily, I am frequently bored and don't really feel like doing to much.

Have you discussed treatment for depression with your doctor? If yes, what does he recommend? If you haven't discussed it with him I think you should.

I think you need to stop feeling guilty and focus on moving forward. Guilt is counterproductive, and I'm certain also helping to keep you depressed. If you start to feel guilty, focus on something else...think about a hobby, or fantasize about a vacation you want to take, anything but feeling guilty.

It also sounds like you have a lot going on in life right now, and that you may be under a lot of stress. Make sure you frequently take a break and take time to do things you enjoy, even if you don't feel like it. Take time to relax. Also make sure you're eating healthy, I recommend focusing on fresh whole foods, and make sure you're getting enough sleep. Really try to get at least 8 hours a night. Eating and sleeping well go along way in revovering and also help a great deal with depression. Good luck!

Agree. Depression is a serious issue and can cause all the symptoms mentioned.

A friend of mine used to smoke a couple of gram a day for years and years. He also felt really depressed, anxious and unmotivated for a long time after stopping. He got better after a couple of months of no drugs, no porn, no refined sugar, went exercising and took some fish oil high in DHA. You may have desensitized your dopamine receptors or you are just depressed and need some therapy.
