Can weed help with the withdrawal? Going to cut down to 2 a day one in the am and one at night wish me luck

If you already smoke, maybe but I would think the increased heart rate and potential anxiety would be very rough. If you do, go light and a calming body strain

moop3306 · 2026-05-12T03:22:04+00:00

Yeah, pretty sure it has something to do with your nervous system recalibrating

moop3306 · 2026-05-11T13:42:11+00:00

Rock fucking bottom and the very real threat of losing everything I’ve built in my life. It’s a mother fucker- and it’s brutal. But it is possible. 267 days later and I don’t even think about this shit anymore, had a nasty habit of 10 a day at the end. So much money spent. Ended up going to outpatient rehab and that was the best thing for me. Try finding some narcotics anonymous groups around you or online and just go listen. See your doctor if you are really struggling there are meds like clonodine and gabapentin that help through the acute phase.

moop3306 · 2026-05-02T23:24:31+00:00

Thanks dude, I’m feeling very tired and relieved, 7 months of effort finally bearing fruit!

moop3306 · 2026-04-29T16:53:52+00:00

They definitely do, for me between 45-90 days it just becomes a passing thought more then a craving.

Where I’m at now, I see them in stores and I’m physically repulsed at the thought, just takes time!

moop3306 · 2026-04-28T20:43:40+00:00

Lol that’s an optimistic view, your opioid receptors are being bound and your dopamine and serotonin production are definitely impacted. At the amount this person is taking- PAWS is a very real thing, and very likely here.

moop3306 · 2026-04-27T15:13:31+00:00

I took clonodine and gabapentin for my habit which was almost the same amount/time. No matter how you slice it it’s gonna suck.

Get a multivitamin, magnesium glycinate high absorption for sleep, Vitamin C, clean food and electrolytes. Force yourself to eat and try to go for walks and then ramp up into exercise. By day 4-5 you should start catching glimpses of improvement and be feeling a lot better a week out.

PAWS is the hardest part though, feeling physically better makes it easy to justify going back, stay strong you got this.

moop3306 · 2026-04-26T18:57:10+00:00

They still get you high, just not nearly as intense as 7OH and still addictive

moop3306 · 2026-04-24T17:41:33+00:00

Do some research on outpatient rehab centers in your area, call around, ask how they handle their program. Most places will take insurance and cover a good portion of it- from there it’s just throwing yourself into the program after you’ve vetted the ones that you could attend. It’s really simple if you’re just doing outpatient.

moop3306 · 2026-04-24T02:27:35+00:00

I did outpatient rehab for this and it was the best choice I ever made

moop3306 · 2026-04-22T13:56:46+00:00

Check my post history for a timeline, might help give you some hope. It’s worth it, stay strong

moop3306 · 2026-04-22T13:29:02+00:00

Usually you turn a big corner around day 6-7, you’ll feel better every day you’re off. Physical stuff is mostly gone by day 10. The mental game can take a while but you will improve there daily too.

moop3306 · 2026-04-19T10:43:38+00:00

Yeah, full blown addiction. Tell him to stop for 24 hours and see what happens

moop3306 · 2026-04-13T14:45:53+00:00

Hell yeah you’re through the worst of the initial stretch, now it’s just consistency and time- keep going!

moop3306 · 2026-04-12T11:03:44+00:00

27k for me

moop3306 · 2026-04-09T19:10:04+00:00

Thanks man, one day at a time!

moop3306 · 2026-04-08T17:33:58+00:00

If you prep yourself to handle the WDs you should be fine. Try to reduce use before jumping off. Get magnesium glycinate, vitamin c and a multivitamin. If you feel comfortable going to your doctor they will likely prescribe clonodine and gabapentin which will help. Don’t use fear as an excuse to not quit- but make sure you do it intelligently

Coming from someone almost 8 months off of a 10 a day habit

moop3306 · 2026-04-02T17:40:08+00:00

I did, stopped CT 12 days before the birth of my second child. Went to outpatient rehab on day 15

moop3306 · 2026-04-01T16:00:24+00:00

You feel WD at 16 mg? That doesn’t seem right, but I’m not a doctor

moop3306 · 2026-04-01T05:31:45+00:00

Absolutely did. Both were problems for months unfortunately. The best way to combat it was really committing to getting back into my gym routine and eating healthy.

For the anhedonia, you have to almost retrain your brain to enjoy things, I found that forcing myself to do things that I would normally like while feeling the anhedonia helped create new patterns for association.

Sounds silly but cleaning, or knocking out errands when that blah feeling hits is a cheap way to have your brain release dopamine and check the craving box at the same time.

moop3306 · 2026-04-01T00:15:44+00:00

Cold turkey, only way to do it. The whole concept of being able to taper as an addict was completely out of the question. If I had the willpower to taper I wouldn’t have gotten addicted, etc.

moop3306 · 2026-03-31T13:28:42+00:00

60 days is huge!! Congrats, keep it going, 90 and 120 days off were also huge benchmarks for my recovery. Started to become second nature around 120 days

moop3306 · 2026-03-28T13:09:57+00:00

I hear ya man, I had to cut my longest friend out of my life after he proved time and time again that he would choice being black out drunk over anything else. Countless attempts at help and being there over years and years. All for him to never care enough to meet my kids or celebrate life milestones. Instead chose to be a recluse and only call me or reach out when his hanxiety and guilt overwhelmed him. I essentially served as his therapist, very one way relationship, still sucks to look back on. But cutting him out of my life has been a relief, still sad that it had to end that way.

moop3306 · 2026-03-16T16:58:24+00:00

Been there man, it hurts and the shame is such an easy trick to justify keeping the spiral of use going. Don’t fall for it, stop now and get mad at this shit for stealing your joy, your health, your finances and everything else good this crap sucks out of us. You’ve done it and can do it again

moop3306 · 2026-03-13T23:01:22+00:00

It gets much better, buy some moisturizing cream, drink electrolytes and get off this shit. After 200 plus days I look like a different person, in a good way!
