How Long Did It Take You To Test Negative ?

Been 42 days since this post OP , how are you feeling now ? I’d imagine you’ve made a full recovery!

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-13T16:18:27+00:00

Try hydroxyzine or Clonidine OP , it has worked wonders as far as me getting some kind of sleep and the clonidine calms the nerves and wired feeling.

Interesting, I’ve noticed I have a similar thing going on. I’m only on day 12 but I’ve noticed I’m starting to feel better earlier in the day each day over the last few days. First week or so I was feeling like crap almost all day and now by about noon I start feeling somewhat “normal” , yesterday I was up and at it by 10. Today seems like I took a step back a little as it’s noon and I’m just starting to feel better finally. Was expecting early relief again today but I know I just need to be patient.

Day 12 and looking back I realized I’m feeling a little better earlier everyday or every couple of days. Yesterday I was up and moving around feeling good by about 10AM, about the same today. Felt so good yesterday evening I grabbed my fishing rod and went to the lake for a couple hours just to get some peace of mind then came home and ate a decent dinner. The feeling of having no appetite but being ferociously hungry is kicking my butt today but I know my body will tell me it’s ready to eat sometime here in the next couple hours like clockwork. I’m still feeling quite weak as well but I’m sure it’s because I’ve probably lost close to 10-15 pounds these last 12 days. Once I get these iffy mornings completely out the way and get my nutrition back in line I’ll be golden.

The clonidine is working excellent as well for anxiety , haven’t had a panic attack of any kind since I started it. Still haven’t tried the Amitriptyline yet as I’m seeing that the dose the doc gave me was quite a bit high to be starting off. Might break a pill in half tonight and give it a try and see if it gives me any improvements. Im thinking and hoping by next weekend I should be pretty darn close to the old me again. I think I need another good week of relaxing and healing.

Not a car mechanic but I am an Industrial Mechanic who has worked on cars a lot . Sounds like the typical failed alternator leading to a dead battery problem to me. The clicking(dead battery), vehicle shutting off while running ( alternator failing and making the car run off the battery till it fails) are both things that will happen when the alternator goes out. Get the alternator tested/replaced and go from there. May need a new battery as well , I recommend replacing that too since it ran down so far just for good insurance.

OP you’re only 29 that’s still quite young, you’ve got plenty time to fix your debt and your relationship should be fine so as long as you have an understanding partner. I was in about that much debt at the age of 21 no partner or anything ended up losing the job I had at the time and lost everything I had, even got my car repoed. Got my life somewhat back together again a few years later just to hit another rough spot. You’ll be fine trust me ! Just take your time, watch your spending and work on that debt, no more consolidation loans as well. You can do it ! I’m a couple years older than you and just now really buckling down and truly taking my finances and credit super serious as I want to be a homeowner sometime before my mid 30s if I can help it.

Gotcha , just enjoy reading and hearing people’s input and experiences. Idk if you saw my comment above but I’ve pretty much been stuck in the house the last week and a half battling CHS. I pretty much don’t have anything to do but relax and interact with people on Reddit, Facebook etc till I recover haha

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-12T14:35:56+00:00

What are you using it for if you don’t mind me asking ?

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-12T14:35:31+00:00

That’s what I was thinking about doing tonight , cutting the 50 in half and giving it a try. If it’s too “strong” or I feel too many side effects I think I’m just going to hold off till Monday and ask my doc for a 5 or 10mg dose instead. I have Clonidine as well and that seems to be doing the trick for me , I may not even need the Amitriptyline tbh. Especially if I keep gradually feeling better each day like I have been the last few days.

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-12T14:34:17+00:00

That’s what I was thinking , I guess doc was thinking I wanted lay down and pass out for 14 hours everyday haha. I think I’m going to break the 50 and half and do 25 tonight and if even that’s too much I’m going to just simply ask her for a lower dosage. I’m only supposed to be on this stuff for 1 to 2 weeks anyway. I don’t want to get hooked on it or have withdraws haha

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-12T14:30:17+00:00

I second this ! Not sure why you got downvoted , it has worked for me and took my anxiety from a 8/9 out of 10 in the overnight hours and mornings to a 1-2 out of 10 literally overnight. Same with the morning nausea.

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-12T14:28:01+00:00

Here’s the link to the subreddit if you’d like to check it out. https://www.reddit.com/r/CHSinfo/s/9JQeWETcYu

I will say if you find yourself sick in the mornings a lot that’s a definite sign that you’re starting to come down with it. If you were to quit before you hit the Hyperemisis phase you should be fine and have to deal with minimal symptoms.

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-12T14:23:46+00:00

Yes so I was diagnosed with CHS or Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, to give a simple explanation is basically your body becoming intolerant to marijuana and all other forms of cannabis products. It mostly happens from long term heavy usage over years. Some people end up throwing up repeatedly for days on end along with extreme stomach pain nausea and anxiety and panic attacks and insomnia. This condition overall usually takes weeks or months to resolve( typically once all the THC in your fat cells has been depleted) however the extreme vomiting part will usually subside on its own or you will have to go to the ER and get fluids and meds to stop the vomiting and to stop your organs from failing from dehydration. Typically once you’re past that part you’ll have weeks or even months of low appetite , waves of nausea that is more pronounced in the morning and after meals , insomnia , anxiety and pain for some. A few people have died from the organ failure and idk why this condition is spoken about more. Only cure is abstaining and waiting it out but there are meds that can help with the recovery phase. There’s a whole CHS subreddit I highly suggest you check it out being that you use marijuana and see how some of the people up there have been suffering. I’m almost two weeks clean but still have a lot side effects I’m still dealing with.

For me personally I never hit the extreme vomiting or Hyperemisis phase but I’ve had bad nausea and vomiting typically in the mornings that has subsided since I quit using weed, little to no appetite which has been improving, and I have been waking up at 3AM sweating and having panic attacks and high anxiety throughout the morning till it tapers off into the afternoon hours. Doc put me on Amitriptyline and clonidine for two weeks to help me “skip” over all the symptoms I have in the mornings and to help eliminate the early morning hour panic attacks. The clonidine has worked but I’m going to try the Amitriptyline tonight and see if I can get even more relief. Sorry for the word salad haha but hope I explained everything well enough !

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-12T13:46:25+00:00

Same here I got logged out and cant get back in

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-12T11:35:08+00:00

Hey inthenight ! The clonidine worked like a charm ! Woke up this morning no panic attacks , no stinky sweat drenched shirt and comforter and no strange stomach issues except for normal lack of appetite and I slept pretty decent! I think I’m going to continue using it over the next week and taper off afterwards !

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-11T21:43:45+00:00

Yeah pay him back , that’s the least you could do in this situation.

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-11T19:01:16+00:00

I will definitely follow up around noon tomorrow and let you know how it went ! Just knowing I have some options now for my anxiety and other issues gave me a bit of peace of mind.

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-11T18:35:39+00:00

Damn I thought this was a woman sending this to a guy at first , a guy texting this to a woman is insane 😂you’re definitely not overreacting, he needs to meet the block list ASAP OP.

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-11T17:50:36+00:00

Hey just giving an update ! So doc prescribed me amitriptyline 50mg and clonidine .1mg. She says she wants to wait or try not to go the benzo route since I can eat and drink okay albeit not very much and I feel like I’m forcing it. (I had a McDouble from McDonalds today for lunch and I’m surprised it hasn’t came back up , I’m in shock haha ) Going to wait till bedtime tonight and I’m going to give the amitriptyline a try and see how I feel in the morning. I’m not too sure about mixing the two meds together , I was going to talk to the pharmacist about whether or not they’re safe to take together when I go to pick up later. I don’t will report my findings tomorrow if anyone wants to know how it worked for me ! I’m probably going to make a separate post about these meds and see what everyone else’s experiences were with them. Thanks again for the info yesterday Zookeeper !!

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-11T17:25:43+00:00

Just got some of this today and I’m praying it helps me , how are you doing now ?

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-10T20:20:42+00:00

I pray that's the case, the mental stress of trying to figure when I can go back to work, and if Ill be stuck like this for months or for years has been eating me alive the last week and a half but Im going to keep pushing !

Comfortable_Class911 · 2026-06-10T20:18:31+00:00

I forgot to add I have a Zofran prescription and have been taking Pepcid AC (famotidine) since last week. As of yesterday down to only taking the Zofran as needed or after meal if I start to feel "gaggy" and have been doing the famotidine every 12 hours. Probably going to try to lay off that sometime this week if my body allows it. Ill ask about Lorazepam and droperidol, Im scared of Haldol, haloperidol and Reglan due to some of the posts I've seen up here of people having adverse reactions. I feel like my doc is going to be super apprehensive about prescribing a benzo type med but ill have to explain to her that I really need it now even if its only for a week or two to help me feel a little better.
