I’m sorry Tokes but this is the definition of insanity. Hoping this doesn’t encourage others reading this to relapse… addiction doesn’t work as a choice. We all got to where we got because the beginning was great or else no one would continue. Eventually your body will require more for any sort of e...

Hi everyone. I have been abstinent from weed for quite a few months but find that really bad thoughts have been entering my mind uncontrollably during this time. Usually it’s around horrible things happening to people I love or just something that will make me really upset in the moment. It’s never ...

@9monthquit have you considered medication? I take Prozac now and it helps me A LOT. I also had a depression and anxiety diagnosis before I started smoking though…

Continuing to follow your story… I’m at 14 months and having an identical experience to you. Please keep posting it genuinely helps me.

Thanks for posting this… and I really hope this doesn’t come off the wrong way, but I literally pray to god that I don’t convince myself to relapse… ever. I’m about 14 months in and PAWs has been literal hell. The idea that I could possibly fully recover one day then go back to the substance that ca...

Glad it could help a little. Thanks for your comment

What is that based on? How do you know it’s worse? I can’t imagine anything being worse plus the only side effect I have is fatigue which is much better than the symptoms I had prior to taking it.

I was on them before I started smoking as I have a depression and anxiety diagnosis. I’d love to be off of them… but not sure that’s a good idea.

What makes you say that?

What symptoms are trailing the most for you? Everything is better except for waves of depression and anxiety. It’s usually a week of being “ok”… not good but not bad and then a few days of anxiety and depression that still sucks. Not to the level of when I started, but enough to make life uncomfort...

This is interesting. I’m on month 14 and still experiencing symptoms and it’s really f’ing frustrating. I’m a LOT better than when I started… but also just tired. Praying this ends one day, I still think about smoking every day to make it stop but I know it will just reset me and make me worse. Idk…...

I currently take an SSRI called Prozac and it helps me. Someone just posted on that thread! Two years may be the avg, it’s been such a long journey.

Thank you so much for this!! Very very helpful.

Will you please post if you have fully recovered from weed PAWS? I’ve spent hours on this site and the consensus appears to be it can take 2+ years to fully recover but I don’t see anyone posting these 2+ year stories of success in the moment as they happen. If you have been clean for this long and ...

Hey there. I’m almost to 14 months and I’d say the symptoms (identical to yours) have gone away about 70%. Everything I read says it can take 2+ years to fully recover… there is a post on this forum of someone getting there at 30 months. There aren’t a lot of people posting with 2+ years of being cl...
