Not Just a Crummy Day

From portrayals in movies and on TV of people addicted to heroin, people have an image of drug withdrawal as sweating, shaking, and being curled up in bed with unbearable pain. Marijuana withdrawal is a lot more subtle, but every bit as real.

The main mental symptoms of marijuana withdrawal include:

Being irritable
Feeling anxious or worried
Feeling depressed
Being restless
Having trouble sleeping at night and feeling tired during the day
Having low appetite or losing weight
Some people having marijuana withdrawal might not realize it. Some of the symptoms just contribute to being in a lousy mood, and it’s often easy to blame that feeling on other people annoying you or just having a bad day. You can also have physical symptoms like:

Stomach pain
Sweatiness
Shakiness
Fever
Chills
Headache
