Cannabis and the body
Sleep, appetite, and irritability. Not a verdict.
Safety. Stopping heavy drinking, benzodiazepines or some other drugs suddenly can be dangerous, so talk to a GP first, or call 000 in an emergency. HomeCircle never gives doses or tapering plans. A GP or a drug and alcohol service can plan that with you.
People often describe these rough stages. They are not a diagnosis and they are not a prediction for you.
Severe withdrawal can be dangerous. If you have chest pain, trouble breathing, a seizure, confusion, heavy vomiting, or you collapse, call 000. You can also call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
Some people notice poor sleep, vivid dreams, low appetite, or a short fuse in the first days and weeks.
None of that proves what is happening for you. If mood, panic, or vomiting worry you, talk to a GP.
Cravings can be brief. Urge surfing and a meeting are tools, not medicine.
For any health concern, talk to your GP or a doctor. HomeCircle is support, not medical care.
