Things that help ease marijuana withdrawal

I have pot just week before.. it's the 2nd time i've used it.. and 3 days later, I got panic attack.. it is so frustrating when i tried sleeping on the first day.. in desperate way, I ask my friend to knock me out till I pass out.. at 2nd day I google everything of this sh** that I got through.. all the symptom are exact to withdrawal S. except pinpoint pupil which make me freak out.. cuz pinpoint pupil are suspected to be brain damage/trauma or maybe opiate withdrawal..
on day 4 I'm still having the same symptom, but milder.. however the panic attack still hunting me.. and my clarity or concentration still blurr.. today I found this forum.. and the 'Isochronic tone' idea really help me a lot.. i got my panic attack suppress for like 4 hours now.. try it out.. It really feel uneasy.. and your eye may rolling right and left.. but it really work..

Hey mate look i'm 18 been smoking alot of skunk(Cheese/Haze/Kush) ect. for well the past 6 years. I've had the ups and downs of smoking and by now i can say that i am an experienced stoner. If i were you i would stop when you have the chance, its just not worth it due to its repercussions not only to yourself but as you've found out the hard way, on your family as well. This might not seem that serious however trust me a lack of trust from your family can lead to a rift in your relationship, TRUST ME i know because it happened to me. However thankfully you've only been smoking for a somewhat short period, therefore not only can the damages to yourself be easily undone, but its most likely that your family will be a lot easier to forgive and forget than mine who unfortunately saw me plummet for years as Draw slowly became an everyday necessity for me to function.
To finish off don't worry your young and clearly care about your family all you need to do is be upfront with your mum and tell her you just wanted to try it and it was a phase and your over it. As long as its the truth and you do stop smoking than i'm sure everything will be fine. Hope i helped man GL

Im glad I found this site it seems to be very helpful , I have a 20yr son who is way out of control , he will only talk to me, wont speak to anyone else but his pot buddies, he thinks that everyone at work is evil and out to get him , I took him out to dinner and he sat at the table like he was in prison guarding his food, he doesnt understand that its the weed thats making him feel this way i notice that over the last 3yrs he has gotten worse , he is getting thrown out of his apt., I fear he is about to lose his job , see as he use to work 2 jobs but has lost 1 due to all the weed smoking .
Any advise from others would be really greatly appreciated

Dear Concerndad

What you describe are psychotic symptoms. Cannabis can induce psychosis. You need to get your boy psychiatric help. You must be suffering too. It is so hard to see our children in anguish and difficulty.

I wish you strength

Thank you, he has been to the hospitial mental ward for 48 hrs , they released him and gave him meds for depression and anxitiy , but he wont take them ,claims he doesnt like the way they make him feel , Ive been researching and had a high school buddy that went through the same thing the pot makes them so paranoid, he really has gotten worse since living on his own he does it all day in the morning before work on breaks at work , on lunch after work after dinner , its become a normal thing now and he cant understand when does not smoke it or have money to buy it why he is so anger and confused, its like trying to kick cigs but worse because the paranoid effects.

Dear Concerndad

This is very sad. I wonder whether there is someone who can see your son on a regular basis? Did psychiatrists or psychologists assess him at the mental health ward?

Many people who are vulnerable to mental illness use cannabis. It calms them down, takes the edge off, seems to help with chronic anxiety and other mental problems - at first. But then it creates far worse problems and drug-induced psychosis is a very serious consequence of cannabis use. The paranoid delusions you describe do not sound like common or garden cannabis-induced paranoia to me. It can be very hard to help someone who thinks that they do not need help or who refuses to take medication. Awful as the side-effects of the anti-psychotics are, they are often the only way that people can live normal lives, and often the patient cannot be trusted to take the medication without supervision. But if the mental health unit has discharged your boy with an anti-depressant and anxiolytic it sounds as though they do not think he has a drug-induced psychosis.

Can you take him to see a trustworthy psychiatrist in private? Is that possible? At least to get a second opinion. Some people are so judgmental about drug issues that they cannot see what is really going on and that the drugging is just a symptom of more serious issues that need addressing.

I don't know where you live or what your mental health facilities are like. Unfortunately some are truly pathetic and some psychiatrists prescribe concoctions of drugs with abandon and charge a fortune for therapy when they do not have any proper training as psychotherapists nor enough knowledge about the pharmacology of the drugs they are dispensing.

If you feel that you are not getting the right advice or the help you need, go elsewhere, because you may be right.

I am sorry for you. Life is hard enough without watching a child unravel and having such difficulty with reaching him.

Strength to you.

I thank you again ,Ive been researching doctors psychiatrists and psychologists , we live in southeastern MI area.

Sounds like the wake and bake crazies to me. A month ago my friends were telling me I was really paranoid and I was. I would get some delusion (albeit usually rooted in reality somewhat) but my brain just couldnt let it go. The good news is that it cleared up really fast after I quit smoking. I think smoking in the morning is especially bad.

Hope your son decides to stop smoking. But the thing about being crazy is that its really hard to recognize it in yourself. Try and keep track of when he is worried about something and it turns out being nothing. Eventually, for me I was like sh** I am being paranoid, nothing i'm worried about ever comes into fruition.
