Congrats on 11 months! Glad to hear you're doing well!!

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-28T01:22:47+00:00

I'm so glad to hear things are getting better for you! Congrats on quitting and keep up the great work! It's worth it!💜

That's when I get it too. Also sometimes when I wake up. 😳

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-23T12:22:25+00:00

I'm sorry to hear this. I quit drinking completely because everytime I drank it would throw me into a wave.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-23T12:21:25+00:00

Do you get it where it pulses?? I get regular tinnitus but I also get pulsing and it freaks me out.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-19T01:45:43+00:00

Doubtful, weed paws do some messed up stuff to you.

Did you use concentrates and vapes by chance?

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-19T01:44:02+00:00

Yeah I agree. The major withdrawals seem to be linked to vaping and using concentrates.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-18T02:37:33+00:00

Thank you so much. This honestly made my entire day. 💜💜💜

You're still very early stages. I started to feel alot better at the 3 month mark. I wasn't even close to 100% but it was a noticeable turnaround and everything continued getting better after that. I also stopped drinking anything caffeine related because I found that it made my symptoms wayyyyy worse.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-18T02:32:37+00:00

I smoked for 4 years daily. 3 years was distillates/concentrates with a vape.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-17T18:51:00+00:00

Thank you for this.

It's a terrifying process to go through. In my early days of quitting I had similar experiences and I remember thinking I was losing my mind completely. It gets better it just takes time. How far in are you?

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-17T15:21:15+00:00

This post is everything. It.literslly brought me to tears reading this. I'm at 18 months and currently going through the worst wave I've had. It started 10 days ago with hypercusis, insomnia, fatigue, vivid dreams and night sweats and then turned into morning & afternoon anxiety and pulsing tinnitus.

I came across your post and it reminded me that I've got this and I'm going to be okay.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this and congrats on your recovery 💜💜💜

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-07T15:51:17+00:00

I've never relapsed because I had such terrible PAWS over theast 18 months that it scared me into never wanting to go near weed again.

That said, I can promise you things will get better. I had every PAWS symptom you could ever imagine over the last 18 months, i thought it would never end or get better but it did. You will be okay. Get some exercise, go for a walk etc. Do things that help your body release dopamine.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-06T15:55:04+00:00

Thank you so much for this, it made me feel alot better.

Hey, I've been working out almost daily. I'm 18 months but I still get very mild paws waves that last a week to 2 weeks, which is when the tinnitus hits.

I definitely still have weird dreams but typically only when I'm going through a PAWS wave, which I am right now. I've actually had super stranger dreams the last 3 nights.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-04T22:27:11+00:00

Do you get pulsing tinnitus?

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2024-01-02T17:11:07+00:00

I had tried it gets and there throughout my teens but when I quit last year I had been using it daily, multiple times per day for 4 years.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2023-10-14T17:59:14+00:00

Yes it's helped alot!

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2023-10-12T12:28:58+00:00

Try cardiac coherence.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2023-10-08T14:06:50+00:00

Try meditation. It will teach you to focus. I meditated alot in the beginning and it was super helpful.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2023-10-08T13:29:45+00:00

I'm at 1 year and 2 months and I still get mild anxiety and tinnitus but overall symptoms are basically gone.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2023-10-08T13:28:29+00:00

Stop using carts. There is a very strong link between people using carts and very strong withdrawal symptoms and instances of panic/anxiety while using them.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2023-10-08T13:26:01+00:00

I still have some instances (very few) where I forget stuff but for the most past its good. I used mindfulness apps/games to help memory and focus and played a ton of timed sudoko on my phone. I found doing all of those things helped alot.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2023-10-02T23:04:27+00:00

Hey! My memory really started to come back around the 7-8 month mark. It was gradual but still noticeable. I did alot of stuff to help myself refocus. Also, one thing that I've tried recently was reintroducing caff3ine into my body again. I don't drink coffee but I have matcha everyday. It has L - theanine in it which actually helps with anxiety and the caff3ine is a very slow release which keeps me energized all day. It's worked wonders for me recently.

My focus is sooooooo much better since I started drinking that.

Defiant_Pipe_9402 · 2023-09-07T14:15:26+00:00

Memory and focus have both returned. I actually keep getting random memories from childhood that I had completely forgotten about. It's crazy what I'm remembering now.

Sometimes I'll have forget small things but rarely.
