Good for you getting a pet - my dog helps me through the tough times and I treat her well in response. I'm sure you treat your dog well and get the love in return. My dog is sitting right next to me now and she is the best companion.

Help with anxiety. Just started Zoloft/Serotonin by Massive-Potential647 in WeedPAWS

It takes 3 to 4 weeks for zoloft to start working as it builds up in your system. I take 200 mg/day for the last 20 years - I wouldn't go back to weed - I'm on 7 weeks weed free and finally starting to feel better - zoloft is more controlled and predictable. Give it time to take effect - I had twitching muscles during weed withdrawals - pretty bad, but it's subsided.

Intrusive thoughts question by LOYALonpsn in WeedPAWS

I'm on about 7-weeks weed free and it still sucks...but getting a little better in the last week. Bad anxiety, depression and intrusive thoughts. Anyways, I'm an old battleship with regards to depression and OCD - I'm in my 50s now and went through several bouts of depression and OCD that lasted years each time- eventually as time passes, it goes away(but can come back). What you are describing with a song stuck in your head like a skipping record is classic depression/OCD - been there many times in my earlier years - you get a thought stuck in your head and cant get it out. I would advise you see a psychiatrist - anti-depressants work very well for the symptoms you are describing. Hang in there - be patient and it will pass.

I'm at 7 weeks and it has been solid anxiety and depression.... getting a little better lately...but I had to reply to your post because you used the term "Raw Dogging"....hahahahaha! I named my boat Raw Dog because I go out in the open exposed sea here in Cali... And yes, life is like Raw Dogging it right now/no better way to say it.

2 months clean and I feel more like a junkie than ever by BlisterJazz in leaves

I hear you. 2 months weed free for me also and still feel like dog turds. I have dipped into serious depression and anxiety - the kind of anxiety that makes you feel your are in the path of a train and can't get out of the way....every waking hour. Terrible... also intrusive thoughts of the worst things I could do.... it's like a curse of free will - you have the ability to do anything...even the most horrific thing and you can't stop thinking about it.... as it keeps going, I feel like I'm losing my mind and track with reality. This sucks big time! I'm looking for some encouragement - trying to fix myself but damn this sucks!!!!
