Thank you BioChE and also others on this thread. It's been about 3 weeks now since I stopped weed. I have been having a lot of anxiety and loss of appetite and am just dragging myself through the days with little or no motivation. I used to use it as a pick me up to get going with chores and have some enthusiasm for life. Of course I don't know how much is withdrawal from cannabis and how much is coming down from a mania. I actually prefer my delusional beliefs to my real world existence and inevitably fall into a depression whenever I come down from an episode.

Unfortunately after about a decade of trying with my psychiatrist I never found a combination of medications that helped with depression except cannabis, but it leads me to lose my ability to test reality.


I'm not in any way criticizing medical marijuana btw but I just can't escape the fact that all my manic episodes and delusions were when I was using it... And I had an unhealthy dependence on it.
