Quiting Marijuana.....results, And Withdrawals

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Fresno, CA

I have been a daily marijuana user for over 20 plus years of my life, I have been trying to quit since January with no luck. Has anyone else used for a long time, quit, and then seizure issues due to it? I'm scared that quitting cold turkey will mess with my epilepsy. Has anyone else been through this? And what was your results?

I hadn’t had any seizures until I quit smoking marijuana or slowed way down. There was no plan on quitting I just didn’t do it as much. But if you take any of the seizure medicine and you stop or cut way back on you can cause seizures so I’m wondering if the marijuana and kept me going good or it was a slow down that turned me bad

It's banned in india but don't do it cold turkey slowly wein off and get some suggestion by the neuro because in a long period of 20 years it caused a lot of damage to the neurons and the nervous system is now dependent on it

I don’t know why the word marijuana is highlighted in blue is that because they’re watching you

I just Found some Charlotte’s Web and it has no THC it’s all CBD but I seem to enjoy it and will stick with that because when I smoke the THC I was ready to fall down it’s not the marijuana but it’s the other drugs that they give you and then the marijuana is just the kicker

I used to smoke menthol, kools Marlboro menthol, camel crush menthol. Can't buy them....easier not to smoke. I'm pretty controlled on pop, but weed and doritos are like my biggest vice (not necessarily at the same time. Lol) how do you feel not smoking weed?
