I'm so glad that i found this forum!
Maybe my story will help somebody, just like your storys helped me! Thank you.
I'm 24 years old
~180cm, ~73Kg athletic (before withdrawal) now 60Kg!
I've smoked weed for about 6-7 years, the last 3-4 years 24/7.
About 6 months ago i started to loose the ability to get high, so i started smoking up to 5 grams in 24-48 hours, and still couldnt get a real high!
At the end i was frustated and decided i needed to quit.
(Ive quit cigarettes & high % alcohol in january, no paws, just little nervous.)
LET THE WITHDRAWAL BEGIN!
My weed withdrawal started in early September (two months ago).
The first few days:
alot of energy/motivation, nervous, anger, sweaty hands & feets, easy.
First 2-3 Weeks: (horror begins)
extrem diarrhea, extreme weight loss (10kg!), extreme nightsweats (changing clothing up to 6x times a night), blurry vision, emotions up and down, saw weird lines/colors in my vision, everytime i ate something i would get anxious & extreme high blood pressure (150/110), random brainzaps, like a lightning in my head, i developed health anxiety, dozens of vivid/brutal dreams a night, waking up every 3 hours and falling back asleep, feeling tired after 12+ hours of sleep, no libido.
Everything felt weird, my body and my surroundings.
I couldnt talk, i felt mentally retarded while having conversations, no concentration, intrusive negative thoughts about death, health & life in general. extreme heart palpitations.
3-6 weeks:
lost another 3-4 kg (~59kg)
random bodypains started to occur, first my arms, then my neck, my back, especially lower back, sometimes legs. tingly sensation on my face, headaches, swollen lymph nodes.
No diarrhea but weird bowel movements, reflux, smelly breath, dry eyes, sometimes really emotional, sometimes just feeling dead, extreme fatique & tiredness. Blood pressure still higher than normal (140/90)
health anxiety 24/7, ear whooshing, feeling like something is in my ear, tinnitus, sinuses popping, googling every symptom, extrem fear of cancer & other diseases.
Found this forum (helped a lot)
6-8 weeks
Weight still around ~60kgs, not able to gain back even to i'm eating more than before! New belly pain & zaps, especially right lower side & lower abdomen, weird movement/feeling & sound in my colon, fear of parasites/cancer, weird yellow chalky stool, smelly gas / farts , sometimes no bowel movement for 2-3 days, sometimes 2-3 bowel movement a day! Sometimes yellow stool, sometimes brown, sometimes both! (half of it yellowish half of it darker brown) never seen something like this!
maybe irritable bowel syndrome
still fatiqued & tired, but now in waves not 24/7.
Vivid dreams, but not as many & not as brutal & dark. Better sleep (not waking up every 3 hours)
still ear whooshing & popping
still random bodypains & lower backpain.
Now LOW blood pressure (110/70) sometimes even (100/60). Still some night sweats & sometimes diarrhea.
Health Checks in a course of 2 months:
I went 6 times to the hospital!
4-5 times to my personal doctor!
And once to a gastrologist, once to a otolaryngologist, once to a dermatologist & to a radiologist!
I have done about 40(!) ampoules of blood works/tests, 3(!) urinalysis, a gastroscopy (without narcosis!), head MRI test, skin excision "surgery", electrocardiogram (ecg/ekg), two ultrasound scans of organs & lymph nodes, endoscopy of my nose/throat and x-ray of my lungs.
Nothing found, only helicobacter pylori in my stomach. And normal cyst in my brain, maybe since childhood.
But nothing that causes these type of symptoms & nothing risky.
Now i'm doing a poo test for parasites & a coloscopy! (last test, im tired)
I'm gonna give an update in a few weeks!
Cheers.
