Cannabis withdrawal symptoms

Cannabis withdrawal symptoms

The most common of cannabis withdrawal symptoms is insomnia. Its severity can vary from a few nights in a row completely without sleep for up to several months, when insomnia occurs from time to time.

Psychiatric disorders of cannabis withdrawal

Another common cannabis withdrawal symptom is depression (unless you fall into a pathological euphoria), accompanied byCannabis withdrawal symptoms nightmares and vivid dreams. Cannabis tends to suppress the dreams, so when you cease cannabis use, dreams come back with double strength. Dreams can be brightly colored, emotionally intense which  sometimes are perceived as reality. Waking up and then falling asleep you find yourself in the same dream again and again. These nightly vivid dreams usually occur about a week after the rejection of the drug and continued for about a month and then gradually taper off.

Dreams "with the use of cannabis”occur very frequently and may persist for several years, albeit with a less brightness than during the first weeks.  They are considered as a sign  for recovery.

The fourth most common symptom of cannabis withdrawal is irritability. It can range from a gradually increasing anger against the background of constant irritability to sudden bursts of uncontrollable anger: anger at the world, anger at loved ones, anger at himself  for being addicted to drugs and then for ceasing them. Emotional peaks with the feelings rushing between depression, anger and euphoria are ongoing. Sometimes there are feelings of anxiety or restlessness, loss of sense of humor, decreased or increased sexual desire. Most of these emotional disorders come back  to normal within three months.

Attention disorders during the first few weeks are also very common and sometimes  for a short period of time make the learning process  impossible.
