Withdrawal symptoms

Hey @May22 .

I found having set meal times helped my body get over the nausea.

Hope you start feeling better soon.

Hang in there, early days yet.

@May22

I'm sorry I don't have much to recommend. By the time I gave up I was too far gone and don't recall much about the experience.

But Well Done on giving it a crack! I wish you all strength- it Will get 'easier'.

Do you smoke ciggies, too?

Hey @May22,

Those withdrawals sound pretty unpleasant. I don't know much about cannabis withdrawals. The only place I have heard of, which might be helpful, is the national Alcohol & Drug helpline. They are 1800 250 015 and provide counselling, info and advice.

Giving medical/medication advice on forums is against our guidelines. If you feel comfortable, a chat with a GP regarding medication might be helpful.

I hope you feel better soon.

Take care,

Sphinxly

@StuF Im sorry you had such a rough experience 😞

I gave up smoking cigarettes 4 months ago but still use spin, I'm now onto nicotine vapes, so technically still a smoker just not the cigarettes anymore

@Former-Member Okay, thank you for making me aware, I think a gp visit might be good too

Hey @May22 Any chance you are near a place when you can go for a swim?

I know after a big bender, people I used to know would always go looking for a good spot for a swim, mainly creeks due to the colder water temperature to shock the system.

Hi @May22 ,

I didn't mean to say my experience was that rough, rather I don't remember it! I think when I finally successfully gave up, it wasn't too hard really. Getting to that point however...

Anyway, not about me. I asked about your smoking ciggies- I just wanted to check if you were trying to give up both forms of smoking at once. Which would really be making life hard for yourself!

I hope your GP can help. All the best with it!

@May22

Hi there. I don't want to hassle you, but I wanted to see how you're going with the withdrawals, if I may ask?

@StuF hi not exactly going well, I'm lasting 3-4 days at a time then relapsing, looking into doing some sort of outpatient addiction treatment program, I'm really struggling with money so help is quite the struggle also, if you have any suggestions on free services that could support me during this time I would greatly appreciate it 🙏🏽

@May22

Hi, sorry to hear it is such a struggle.

Did you see your GP? Could they recommend any services?

Unfortunately I've not got any suggestions of services for you. I wish I could offer more than my support.

Maybe someone else will know more. Hopefully
