Heres my story:
I'm a healthy 25 year old male. I was smoking marijuana for about 4 months almost on a daily basis before I dropped it cold turkey about 2-3 weeks ago because of depressive mood swings. Since quitting my life has been horrible. I'm emotionally unstable throughout the day. My anxiety level is very high. I feel depressed at times. Its taken control of my life. I can't concentrate on my work. Worst of all, I'm having trouble sleeping. It could take me hours before I fall asleep. One time I woke up early morning, sat in front of my computer and my whole body was shaking and trembling. Here is an article I found that that describes exactly what I'm groing thru - http://addiction-dir...withdrawal.html. I'm trying my best to work through the withdrawal phase and I have no idea how long it will take.
I've never had a history of depression or extreme anxiety issues. Also I would like to avoid anti-depressants at all costs. I basically want something to help with my anxiety issues and help calm me down. I would especially like to fall asleep quickly and get a good nights rest like I used to.
Some natural alternatives I'm considering are:
Rhodiola
Melatonin
Ashwagandha
bacopa
I would very much appreciate any advice I could get.
