I have believed that it will help me (MJ + syntetic cannabinoids - "blends")

[aphexoid]

Hi, I'm new here.
At the begining - sorry for my hopeless english.
(I'm from Eastern Europe - Poland).

I Smoked a lot of legal blends with included syntetic cannabinoids,
and sometimes Marihuana (for 8 months - every day, for 4h per day)
(cannabinoids included in that blends: JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH-200, CP47, HU-200 etc.)

I am not smoking for 9 days, but i'm feeling very bad...
All the day I am felling anxious (without any reason).
I'm taking Citalopram for 5 years (for depression) and participaiting in psychoteraphy, when i Smoked - I felt better - everething was beatyful and i felt bliss and total peace and better concentration, now... I am felling completly differently - very worse (when i am not smoking).

Actually I'm continuing taking Citalopram (20mg) and additionaly Hydroxyzinum - everyday for sleep (25mg) + Melatonin 1mg.
(and I sleep good).

additionaly every day I'am running and get some other physical activity.

My friend gave me 10 pills of Xanax, and it helped me for anxiety,
but soon this pills will end, I'm taking 0,25mg at 11:00 AM and the same dose at 6:00 PM, how long i have to take this pills (Benzodiazepines - Xanax) ?
I hope that it won't harm me...

I didn't smoke so long and I hope this anxiety will end soon...

When will it end ? :/

thanks for all for reply.

Hi aphexoid and welcome to the forum.

It’s funny you mention the synthetic cannabis blends, they have been on the news a lot lately here in the UK as they have just been banned and categorized as class b drugs. I have tried them myself but found they caused me exactly the same problems as cannabis did. Anxiety is a very common symptom from quitting cannabis and usually does pass, although it can sometimes take a little while many people find it’s sometimes a couple of months, but it can vary significantly depending on the individual. Be careful with the benzodiazepines, they are generally only recommended for short term use these days, as although they are very effective they can be extremely addictive, if you need to take some anti anxiety medication unless it’s just for a few days you are probably better with one of the many alternatives that are now available.

Take care, thanks for sharing, merry Christmas and please keep us posted.
