If you have a good and understanding doctor then you may ask him/her for some Vallium which will help all those symptoms and ease you out of your dependency. However they must be taken only for a short period no more than one or two scripts worth because they are addictive if you abuse those. Since you are eating healthy already and doing everything else that will be helpful, the Vallium is the only thing I can think of – but it is VERY IMPORTANT not to become too used to them. They should not be taken so you get a buzz of them, they are strictly to take the edge off the “withdrawal”. I speak from experience – I am an alcoholic and was given Vallium for about a week when sobering up. I have also been a heavy marijuana smoker and it is the easier of the two to overcome. You may consider attending some therapy group or even going to some A.A. meetings. The reward is great and you will find you begin to clear up in your head and think more clearly and remember things, etc. The difference will amaze you. I wish you courage and good luck.

I know what can cure all that!!

Marijuana!
No but seriously, you are already taking the steps that would alleviate your symptoms. Short of taking other more harmful drugs to treat the symptoms the only thing you can do is wait it out. As for the insomnia…i know it sounds old school but warm milk does work. Also you can try valerian root.

As far as if I think the breathing/swallowing is due to detoxing from marijuana, i definitely think it’s related, but NOT a detox/withdraw symptom. I think it’s because the weed (although it can cause anxiety, thc also has anxiolytic properties..or anti-anxiety) has been keeping you calm all this time and could possibly have been treating anxiety all this time. And I do think it’s anxiety. However it also is a natural bronchiodillator (opens bronchial tubes to breathe easier), but it would not be enough to help you breathe better while you were smoking it, plus the smoke completely negates the bronchiodillating effects and is worse for your breathing overall.

So back to why I think it’s anxiety. Well simply put, my anxiety causes me breathing and swallowing problems. I don’t feel like I can get a full breath. This happens constantly. I quit smoking weed a while ago, partially because I was having too much anxiety, and it’s gotten a lot better since, but I still experience it. I used to have frequent panic attacks that started with swallowing problems…but quitting weed helped. I know this is the reverse of what you’re going through but weed can cause or alleviate anxiety. I think in my case it caused it and in yours calmed it. So I think you’re going through emotional withdrawal symptoms that are causing you anxiety…which is causing these symptoms. I’m not a doctor but I know a lot about weed and a lot about anxiety and i feel confident saying it’s the case.

Anyway i just gave some advice on quitting weed in another answer if you’re looking for any….here’s the link

PS…anxiety can manifest REAL symptoms but it can be controlled if you just trust yourself that it is anxiety, and know that you’ll be fine and wait it out…you’ll get a lot better. I got over most of my anxiety without the use of drugs..and i used to have several panic attacks daily thinking i would die. it takes time, but you can also read a book or something that sucks you in to help take your mind off the symptoms. suddenly you’ll realize they went away…because it’s all in your head..

good luck!! and good job for making the decision to quit!!
