What Is Wrong With My Mental State? Never Been So Unmotivated and Lethargic...

[AB69]

Background info:
-Chronic weed smoker for 3-4 years

TLDR:
-For a good 1.5-2 weeks in December I was snorting small bits of adderall every night to study
-Doctor diagnosed me with delayed sleep phase disorder when I went over the holidays, prescribed to me seroquel, I have not taken any ever since reading about it
-For the past month or so I have felt different, almost like I don't know myself anymore
-For the past month I have been feeling lethargic, symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, symptoms of depersonalization, feelings of anxiety and depression, unmotivated
-Have less motivation in things that I use to enjoy doing

I find weed barely even gets me high anymore. I always seem to have this brain fog in me. My mentality is clear in the morning, but that's before I smoke. I find smoking just gives me a brain fog and doesn't get me high. How do I fix this without taking tolerance breaks? It is the setting where I smoke in? Do I need to change the method I smoke?

I really want to get rid of this brain fog, and all the negative feelings I have been feeling for the past month. I am not sure how it all started, perhaps from the adderall abuse? I can't imagine it being that bad though since it was maybe 90mg XR snorted over 1.5-2 weeks. The chronic weed smoking may also enhance the adderall withdrawals. I'm not sure.

I just want to get my energy, motivation, and mental clarity back. I find caffeine helps. For example, sometimes I get so lethargic and tired I won't even feel like cooking or making food. I am hungry, but become such a vegetable that I don't even bother to make food. I also find that I zone in a lot sometimes on whatever I am doing, but it's like I'm not exactly fully thinking.

Any input/advice is much appreciated, thanks.

It's not because of the amphetamine...I've snorted waaaaaaay more Adderall (and meth, for that matter...ugh) than that & have been "fine".

I'd say it probably has more to do with non-drug environmental factors. Maybe you've been experiencing an unusual amount of stress over the past month or two? Do you deal with anxiety on a regular basis?

One thing I'd immediately suggest would be to stop smoking weed for a bit. It's good to take breaks from cannabis every now and then, especially when you feel "perma-stoned" on a daily basis.

The best thing to do in this situation would be to abstain from all mind-altering substances (including weed, & caffeine) - work on your diet (drink a lot of water, multi-vitamins, proteins), and make an exercise plan. Even a little exercise (like walking around the neighborhood everyday) will boost natural feel-good chemicals. A good diet will help restore possible chemical deficiencies (which could be causing your symptoms).

If you can't quit the weed entirely, only use half of what you'd rather use, then half of that after a week or two.
Mainly, the adderall COULD of contributed to your symptoms. ALSO, the weed COULD contribute to your lethargy. As I said, lay off the weed a little bit, eat healthy, whole-foods, drink plenty of water, and try to exercise a least once a day, or take a least one walk a day.


It's also psychological. Do things you enjoy doing, whether it's playing video games, hanging out with friends, just basically do something you enjoy doing.
You'll be surprised at how simple doing these little things will do. They add up, and they will remove, if not make your symptoms the opposite of what they are now. Hope I helped!

This isn't the be all and end all of your problems. But give up smoking weed would be my advice. Then you'll hopefully find it a little bit easier to pinpoint where some of your problems come from.

after abusing weed it seems to take a long time for your brain to return to normal. It took me 4-5 months of almost complete abstinence before I stopped being paranoid and my memory returned to normal. You really should stop, if not for your mental health at least a few weeks to lower your tolerance.
