marijuana withdrawal syndromeMarijuana withdrawal can be uncomfortable and is the main reason for people to relapse. They quit, start to feel bad and start smoking again to avoid the marijuana withdrawal symptoms.

When you quit smoking marijuana after being a heavy smoker for a long period of time you will have to go through withdrawal from the drug. Most users report that they feel extremely anxious and restless as if they don’t know what to do with themselves. Many people get very irritable and may just feel angry or aggressive. People just feel bad like they have the flu and are tense and feel like they are missing something.

You may go through days of having trouble sleeping. You will lose your appetite and your stomach may feel bad. The anxiety is the most overwhelming feeling and it is constant. You will feel down and maybe even depressed.

You must be prepared to go through this time and be aware that it is just a phase and will get better. We recommend that you schedule yourself to keep busy and be sure and exercise as this will help with the trouble sleeping and the loss of appetite. We also recommend you use a detox product to lesson the symptoms as much as possible to make your withdrawal less uncomfortable.
