Cannabis Withdrawal Increased Noise Sensitivity?
Dec 19, 2013
I stopped smoking weed 8 days ago, i'm 53 and i've smoked it from being a teenager, very light smoker, 1 or 2 small single skin spliffs a night, but not every night, i'm experiencing anxiety mainly due to sound, sounds seem magnified! my partner may put her knife and fork down after eating and i nearly jump out of my skin, its not good.... i play in a band and iv always seen it as part of being a musician, playing loud music is ok its these random small noises that are grating on my nerves.. anybody else experienced this?

i have been under extreme stress and anxiety for the past 7 months. taking xanax 1 mg per day on and off for this period. i am taking Klonopin 0.5 mg regularly for the past 2 months at night as sleeping aid. since last week i was trying to lower the dosage to 0.25 mg and changed the time to 7 p.m. i have started tension headaches and now for the past week very sensitive to noises which is really bothering me. can this be related and also can i take paxil with klnopin on the same day.

For those who are daft enough to think cannabis withdrawal is not a real, physical withdrawal....

I've been on Effexor XR for about four years, and about three years ago I attempted to gradually reduce my dose until I was off it, but once I did so I had intense nausea. It got to the point where I forgot what it was like to just be. I had to choose between hungry or being nauseous, and it was a battle every day keeping food down. I tried telling myself that it was just withdrawal and it would pass, but two months went by and nothing changed, so I went back on Effexor, and I could once again eat and digest food just fine. I then decided I needed to move on with my life, I couldn't revolve it around trying to get off this medication, so I've just been taking it ever since. I've been learning more about how cannabis can help with a wide variety of symptoms, and was hoping someone had experience with treating nausea withdrawal symptoms or, though I doubt it, if you know of someone that used cannabis to help them get off of Effexor.

So i'll get right to the point. I've been dependant on Marijuana to help me cope with various issues for quite a while now; my last breakup, low-mood (not depression) and social anxiety due to a speech impediment.
I've been using for 6 months now with week long breaks every month or so. 2 weeks ago (when I stopped) out of my own choice I started noticing withdrawal symptoms.
These include - increased heart rate, irritability, insomnia, nausea, lethargy, acid-reflux and decreased appetite. Now out of all these symptoms have dissipated (including social anxiety) with only lethargy (no motivation and energy), irritability, low-mood, anger issues and sore throat remaining. I'm on day 13 of withdrawal.
My question(s) are how long does Cannabis Withdrawal last? Will my low-mood and anger go away and sore throat go away? If so when? The thing that is troubling me the most is my sore throat. It's not extremely bad but it's enough to increase my anger and irritability.
In regards to low-mood is this normal? I've usually been a happy go-lucky kind of person but now i'm just enraged sometimes and I hate it.

I live in a state that is legal for medical marijuana. To improve my withdrawal I am considering trying some very high in cbd with little to no thc (thc is what makes people high). Does anyone know what effects this could have?

I'm about to come a cropper and go through withdrawal because of the legal high ban. Don't get me wrong I want the ban as it's probably the only way I'd stop. I'm currently addicted to the research powders, I've managed to stop taking the synthetic cannabis but these powders are terrifically addictive. Well to me anyway. I take it everyday 3 to 6 grams.
So my question is about withdrawal. I've managed about 5 days before but it wasn't getting a lot better so started again. What should I expect and for how long roughly? I hold down a job so can't start climbing up the walls there! So have taken 9 days off - do you think that will be enough time for the worst to be over?

I've been a cannabis smoker for over 25 years now. I started off smoking solid then started smoking strong skunk about 10 years ago, for the last 4 years its all day every day. I gave up just over 3 months ago, then gave up smoking just tobacco 1 1/2 months ago and have been through all of the withdrawal issues. I'm still having trouble sleeping, I get to sleep ok but not quality sleep just mad dreams until about 3am then can't get back to sleep or if I do for a while I just dream again, this is causing me to be either stressed or depressed all day. Does anybody know how long this lasts ?

i'm 18 years old and i have been smoking weed a little over 2 years but i have been smoking HEAVY a little over 1. i stopped smoking weed cold turkey ill say about a week ago.. and i have been experiencing no sleep and no appetite. i know that those are due to not smoking marijuana but i have been getting short of breath lately and having chest pains and my heart is always pounding. it feels like i'm gonna run out of breath and die. i went to the doctor and had an xray done and they said my lungs are fine. the doctor said its most likely just the marijuana leaving my system so they treated it as asma and gave me an inhaler. this has been going on about 4,5 days ill say.. sometimes my breathing is fine but most of the time i feel short of breath IS THIS MARIJUANA WITHDRAWAL?

Our son starting using when he was 11. We found out when he was 12. Because he has the right to refuse treatment, he has refused - doesn't see his use as an issue. He does have all the withdrawal issues if he doesn't use for 2 days. We went to every drug program - no one had a recovery program for such a young user and no one would provide therapy to him unless he agreed. He did not agree. We took him to hospital when he had a melt down but they released him - the child mental health ward does not deal with child addictions We are at the point where we have called the police because they are the only people who can and will mandate therapy at John Howard Society - 3 whooping sessions! Next time we call he gets a criminal record at 13. I don't think jail will stop him from his addiction!!! We have gone for family counselling because as the parents of an addicted child we must have issues. Which as with most families we do. Still no one has even talked to my son. In fact the social worker has advised that we do not encourage him to stop cold turkey as she has seen her caseload double with young teens developing a full blown psychosis trying to do so. We are trying as parents to deal with the emotional issues but how can we best support his physical withdrawal without causing him more harm? Are there any medications/herbals that are safe to use to help him get over the hard parts and how do we help his withdrawal without making him psychotic? TRying everything possible

Does THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) the psychoactive chemical in cannabis sativa cause diarrhoea as well? I have no idea if thisis the case as all I know is that every time I use Cannabis, well I have to make several urgent detours to the loo!
If not THC, then what else could be in CS that would cause diarrhoea? (Some people claim that they experience real bad cases of the runs upon discontinuing the use of pot. Now in my case as I do NOT smoke the stuff, as there is already enough air pollution to go around, why pollute the lungs even further? Therefore I eat it in certain baked goods such as the old fashioned Alice B. Toklas brownies. (Could this be the cause of diarrhoea)?

Several times a day in the last week, I have experienced a slight crackling noise in my left ear and straight away felt dizzy as if I'm going to faint. Can anyone tell me what it could be.

I have been having a weird crackling noise in my left ear. It seems to come back when I wake up in the morning. Then it either fades away entirely later on or only gets triggered when I hear sounds (i.e. music, shutting doors, any noise).
I have been to the doctors and she looked into my ear, there was nothing wrong with it. I haven't been having any sinus problem. I have also cleaned my ear with a product called "Audiclean".

I'm 23 and I've always had tinnitus in both ears but worse in my right. For about the last year I sometimes get this random light clicking noise in my right ear which sometimes happens once, twice or 10 times in very quick succession but then will just stop. It might not happen for a day or too and will suddenly come back again. There seems to be no pattern but happens more at work but might occur once or twice a day. The best way to describe it is a bit like a computer mouse clicking but a lot higher. I have no ear pain, blood or trouble hearing and any other symptoms. What is this? Can I cure it? Should I worry?

I have been suffering from stress and anxiety over the last few months. I also have tinnitus which seems to be worse at the moment. At times the noise is so loud in my ears it makes me feel ill. . This is obviously worse at night time.

This has been happening for a year now. This ONLY happens when I am sleeping or laying down which is the same thing. When I go to sleep, one of my ears will make a crackling, popping sound. It will continue to make sounds until I get up. When I am awake and up, it doesn't happen. No sounds. Everything is okay. I already seen doctors and there was no explanation .... maybe etd. maybe acid reflux. This was not helpful. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Remember, this only happens when I am sleeping. It happens every night. When I go to sleep, my ear will make a crackling, popping sound until I get up.

I had a bunionectomy 2.5 years ago, the surgery went well and recovery was fast, now, for the last 6 months or so, my big toe makes an audible clicking noise when I walk, so much so that people have commented on it, could the bunion surgery have caused this? also, probably unrelated, I have recently been diagnosed with a plantar fibroma on the same foot
