Quitting Hash

Hi,
Probably not. Antidepressants, unless you are depressed by reduced neuro chemicals won't do much. You just need to accept the choice you have made and the positives of that decision, then accept that you will feel different for a while. Try and focus on the good and not the loss of an old behaviour. The first few weeks may be challenging with vivid dreams, night sweats etc... try not over analyse how you feel or you can trigger anxiety/neurosis and it will make things feel harder. Get support from non smokers and just give it time.

Thankyou for your kind reply. I was having panic attack and severe anxiety i am trying my best to cope with them but should i continue the medications that the psychiatrist recommended me.

It depends on your pre morbid state. Is anxiety something you have always had or is it related to your quit? You might be better with medication for anxiety rather than antidepressants. You should discuss this with your psychiatrist. Also, medication can have side effects which you may confuse with coming off hash. You could stick with the quit, see how you manage, then look at meds to help if you have severe symptoms.

I didnt have anxiety before it is related with the quit. I described my every problem with my psychiatrist and according to my statement he gave me the medications.I had thought about going cold turkey but i can't thats why i consulted with my psychiatrist. Today i took one dose in the morning it quite helped me. You are right that medications also have side effects but it helps too.

That's placebo. The medication wouldn't work after a dose and they typically take up to 6 weeks to take effect. Anxiety before a quit is very common if the substance helped you deal with life or provided a function, so these feelings are normal. Bottom line is you won't die if you quit without medication.

Thanks dude for the suggestion appericate it.
