labrat15 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Just giving an update on my situation. I reinstated the pot at small amounts and I eventually stabilized again. The first couple days of smoking I experienced the same weird reaction of dizziness, anxiety, and loss of coordination but that has stopped and the Cannabis withdrawal has stopped as well. It seems like reinstating the pot was similar to my experiences reinstating psychiatric medications but the cannabis readjustment period was definitely shorter. I think I am better off saying on Cannabis right now, I just feel way better when I'm smoking. I have been told by numerous doctors that Cannabis is extremely bad for anxiety and I have let their opinions influence me but at this point it's pretty clear I'm better off with the cannabis and it's also pretty clear that they have no idea what they are doing so I'm done listening to them. Just find it crazy that the doctors I have seen are against what has helped me and all for the medications that have harmed me but I'm done listening to them I've had enough of their incompetence. I'm thinking their opinion is based on the fact that Big Pharma can't patent it. They have scared me into stopping pot numerous times and it has been a horrific experience every time. I once quit pot for a year based on advice I got from my family doctor and at the end of that year I ended up in a psychiatrists office. I'm so done these doctors are clones trained by Big Pharma.

Mogiebear Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Hi peeps, Thought I'd post my newly sensitivities. Before being polydrugged I was drinking alot of booze, smoking pot, drinking sports drinks (caffeine) and I was absolutely fine I've been clean off all that stuff now for ages since I discovered I can't tolerate it no more it's absolutely insane.. I've been drinking non alcoholic beer this past week just for the taste of beer but have discovered I react even to this.. there must be trace amounts of alcohol in them.. it changes my mood completely for days.. Also caffeine knocks me on my ass.. a simple green tea or coke zero knocks me for days with fatigue and mood swings.. This is absolutely insane.. I never used to be like this.. my nervous system must be fried :(.. its very socially isolating as I can't share these things with friends or family even in conservative amounts.. A tiny drop of alcohol can throw me off for days? Or caffeine? What the heck man.. am I gonna die?
